It's that time of the year again! I'm going to sound like a total shill, but we have a lot of fun here and it's 100% authentic!
Get here early, because the place gets packed by early afternoon, late morning. On your way in, make sure you check out the pumpkin launcher! One can buy a bag for apples ($16 for a half bushel), and pick your own Jonathans, Red Delicious, Early Fuji, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, and some other delicious type not listed on the map. This is the same place you'll weigh your pumpkin if you pick your own, $.40 a pound.
Keep going and you'll find the food trucks, the honey stands, goat petting and feeding, the mini maze (big one is across the street near parking), and all the other children's events. Full list in pictures.
Although they are open all year, the festival is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, 1100-1700. No four legged friends allowed in, and be wary of bees. We encountered a lot, but they didn't bother us- they were there for the apples, too!
Original review: I love this place. This is a farm with pumpkins, apples, all kinds of this growing. They have reasonable prices, and what they sell that isn't grown there, is made near by.
Local honey, pick your own apples, pumpkins, hay mazes, so on. All old fashion but their registers - up to date, credit cards and all. People are very friendly, definitely...
Read moreI took my granddaughter here on Sat. 9/28/2024. We have been coming here for years. Her favorite place until now. I paid $16 for her and I, which is up a bit from last year, but that was ok. Until we got to the games she loves .1/2 not working properly. 1/2 no longer there. It looks like someone is really cutting corners on maintenance. And before you say, talk to management, I did, I also left my number for the owners( because I asked for a refund) I got no call back. We will not be returning. My little was so disappointed. This weekend we will go to another fall fest just up the road, hopefully they take better care of their games for kids. Do better Burnhams. P.S. After reading the owners response to my review, I just laughed, whomever wrote this is quite a story teller. Facts: The bounce houses were not inflated while we were there. The team manager was in the market, when I asked for him,(not watching my child laughing and running around). Instead of lying, maybe you need a new spokesperson to answer reviews. A polite " we are sorry you did not enjoy your time here", would have gone a lot further, than all the lies. This review is over. Please do not send...
Read moreGreat selection of produce and a very tasty bakery!! The apple cinnamon donuts are ridiculously good and they have such a ni e assortment of apples. My wife, mother in law, and I went apple picking this past weekend. They have several kinds of apples to pick from.
The reason for marking down a star was the lack of apples available to pick from the trees. It was very challenging to find apples that weren't rotted already or gone bad. It took over an hour of searching to gather a reasonable amount of apples to feel we may have gotten our money's worth. We would have been better off buying from the market, which I'm guessing the trees were empty because the good apples were in the market.
My recommendation that would have made this a 5 star review would be the staff issuing a warning to those buying bags for apple picking that the trees are/were picked through already and a lot have started rotting. Then they'd know to buy from the market if apple quality is what they want. If they want the apple picking experience, then they can...
