It was OK. I just wished it had more to do.
John Lawson · 1 November 2026
I didn’t think any flavor could interest me as much as their famous Bobby’s mud; hence this spring I discovered banana pudding (w/wafers) omg….. I’m hooked and can’t stay away! Peaceful place to get away.

A great place to visit just about any time of the year.
Dave Dowling · 25 October 2026
We love this farm. It’s such a lovely area to walk around and see/feed the animals. And the farm store is addictive. Expensive but addictive.
