I came here for a tour with the Jefferson County Agribusiness club and Libby was a terrific tour guide. Plenty of U Pick produce and the store has farm fresh beef, pork, produce and much more. I returned today for the corn maze. I visit several corn mazes during the autumn season and I usually can figure them out easily. Most are really just a trail in corn that loops around the field. Yes there’s a few dead ends but they’re not made very hard because they may have a couple thousand visitors to churn through. This one is genuinely a challenge. I started the maze and I worked my way through for awhile and I ended up at the entrance. Ok I tried the other direction and awhile later I ended up back at the entrance. Alright I said I tried my original strategy and made a few different choices. I seemed to go deeper and deeper into the field the never seemed to do the usual loop that most mazes do. I ended up in the area that reads IN MEMORY OF TERRY when viewed from above. In my gut I knew that it wouldn’t lead to solving the maze. But it was like a mermaid singing her song luring sailors to a rocky shore. I marched on. Grass on the trail went from being a thick lush carpet of green to knee high. Seemingly wild squash and pumpkins decorated the maze. I eventually made it to what seemed to be several dead ends. I was now in the shadow of the woods. A cool breeze kicked up and the thought of running out of daylight crossed my mind. I then heard rustling in the corn and maybe a deep growl. I made my way back to the main maze and finally felt like I was making progress. Then I came to a dead end. Made my way back and again the path would loop around on itself. A few more loops and dead ends later I finally made it out. This is a tough maze and I don’t remember feeling such accomplishment in...
Read moreI got to enjoy Jellis first farm dinner last night. Lucky me. You could tour the farm before hand too. Nice group of people and the weather cooperated. Now the food! Every course was deliscious. Light snacks with Wis cheeses, sausage, and dried apple slices. The appetizer was a favorite, stuffed small peppers, wrapped in bacon. A lovely fresh garden salad with grilled sweet corn. Homemade dressings, fresh rolls, and cinnamon honey butter. Main course - outstanding beef brisket, smoked of course, and 2 hot vegetables dishes, and surprise - a Wis grilled peach half. That peach was juicy, and super sweet, so good. Then of course a huge triple berry dessert bar, excellent! No complaints. Suggestion: have more Wis beers next year. I'll be back - thank you to Jellis staff,...
Read moreWas really excited to visit here after all the reviews. Drove about an hour, when we showed up we were the only people there. When we went to enter the store we were not greeted by either of the workers who were sitting outside and were not given any information about anything related to the farm. We read online we were able to pick our own fruits and they had other activities however we were not given that option which was really disappointing. We literally went into the store and bought 3 items to make the 5 dollar minimum. It felt very uncomfortable because it seemed like they were just waiting for us to leave. We went with every intention on spending a decent amount of money on home grown produce to support a local business. Disappointed in...
