Great staff, very helpful and very polite. I will recommend this place for your fresh produce needs
Friendly people and best Indiana sweet corn I have ever had
Very delicious ice cream you have to try!
As an OTR trucker, it is so nice to come across fresh, local produce! This place made my day and my dinner. Adorable decor and very convenient to the main road. Highly recommend!
Nice place to greet ice cream and fresh produce
U have to try the ice cream it’s great especially on the waffle cone I love the butter pecan it reminds me of the ice cream I had when I was a kid with my grandpa . The people are good bunch of people and give a lot back to the community u can’t beat the cardinals sweet corn
Bought 3 cantaloupe and 3 watermelon on July 5th, all were not good, spit worthy. We were specifically told they were locally grown, but the identifying stickers did not say Indiana melons so we are 99.5% sure they arent Indiana melons.If you read Indiana Prairie Journal, an article states if you buy any melons around 4th of July, they wont be Indiana melons as they were late getting them out and wont be available until late July.Bottom line, we literally spit out $25 by not going with our gut. If you buy melons from here and want Indiana melons, make sure the sticker states Indiana melons. Go with your gut and eyes, not with what you are told.Coincidentally, we stopped at two more places right across the road after buying our melons and these places had no Indiana melons. They both told us at least 2 more weeks for local Indiana melons...not more than 100 yards away from Prairie Acres. Should have went to those places first.On a good note, the reason for 2 stars, not zero stars, we bought day old sweet corn at Prairie Acres, 13 ears for $2.50 and it was outstanding. Corn was 5 stars.Update: I grew up in Palestine, Il and had Indiana melons my whole life. My watermelon tasted rotten, like they were stored in a hot box/ heat abused and the cantalope was edible. If they were Indiana melons, they were the worst ever. Still dont know why the other stands in the area did not have any melons as we hit all the stands between Prairie Acres and Vincennes. The Farmers Market in Vincennes, 2 days earlier, also had no Indiana melons.From Indiana Farm Journal:Mike Horrall, Melon Acres, in northern Knox County, says that they were late getting cantaloupe and watermelons into the field due the wet spring. As a result, cantaloupe are running about two weeks behind, and so are watermelons. If you buy a watermelon for the Fourth of July, it likely isn't form southern Indiana. Horrall expects to be harvesting watermelons in late July this year.But, to give credit where deserved, the sweet corn was some of the best and if it was not sold the day it was picked, they charged $2.50 a bakers dozen. Cant beat that anywhere.
Best ice cream I’ve had in years
Best fresh produce around Knox Co, In.Watermelon & Cantaloupe is the best I've ever tried or tasted. I even take a couple of both when we go on vacation to Florida!! Highly Recommended
