Garden Patch Farms — Attraction in Homer Glen

There is no more picking of anything. It's pretty much a fresh produce market. There was a sign for pie and cupcakes, but it wasn't something they had in stock during our visit. They do not do donuts anymore. They also offer some handmade wooden home decor items. They have enough pumpkins to pick from, but this year they didn't do a formal patch to pick from. It's something that might be re-explored in the future. But for now, if you want to grab some fresh fruit and veggies, as well as honey without dealing with crowds or lines or a fuss, you can pop in. The owners are very friendly. The picnic tables outside have nice pumpkin arrangements for that quick photo op.

So, if you don't have time to do a full fall picking experience and still wanna get some photos with pumpkins that isn't inside a supermarket, this is a good quiet spot to pop into coz there's no crowd at all. Probably a nice 10-15 minute stop, buy some fruits and veggies, take pix with the pumpkins, before you return to your busy day. Or you can turn it into a longer visit if you wanna talk D&D with the owner :)

Their google pages/websites need to be updated, but they can't get a hold of the former webmasters, so...

I really liked the overall experience, however didn't like how we were treated at the shop. My family and I had actually purchased $65 worth of items from their shop, and used one of their apple picking bags to put our children's snacks in (it was so tiny it didn't even look like it could have more than 2 apples in it). As we were leaving after checking out, the cashier wouldn't stop eyeing the bag in my stroller so my husband and I (very saracastically) asked if he wanted to check the bag for stolen apples, and he actually had the audacity to say yes! We were just staring at him while he made a fool out of himself peeking into our babies' snacks (mind you his face was as red as a tomato) in front of everyone. We're really going to sneak out with a couple of apples after spending $65 on your farm. I don't know if this was racism or just outright stupidity but it left a really bad taste in our mouth, so we'll definitely spend our money elsewhere...

To all the one star people, you should know better than to come and expect grocery store always in stock things. Its first come first serve, you were late in the season and didnt call ahead to ask if they still had vegetables or fruits that you wish.

I went here multiple times. This is one the few places that have black currant, gooseberries and other non native berries and plants. Which is great when you miss the eastern hemisphere. They have lots of varieties and lots of options for you to choose from fun for family. Highly recommended and always recommend to...
