I grew up downwind from this farm and still cherish everything it offers. The ice cream and simple family farm exposure can’t be beat. In fact, my parents deliver 2 gallons of milk each week to my house in Philadelphia so my daughter can enjoy it!

We have been coming here for more than 10 years and we will no longer be coming back. Place has changed for the worse. In years past, you could walk around the farm for free and see the animals but we always paid for our children to do kids activities like the bounce house, corn maze and hay ride. Now it's $25/person just to enter and everyone must pay just for parents to spectate. We also used to enjoy walking up to the building where the warm apple cider donuts were served and that is behind a locked gate now. Retail item prices like a gallon of apple cider are getting ridiculous. Pains me to say we will be finding a new farm to patronize every fall.

I don't understand the tip cup. You are hired to scoop ice cream or ring up fruits and vegetables and flowers, but there is a tip cup for me to tip you for doing your job. Why? If I have to pay you to receive good service then I won't shop here to pay sky high prices for ice cream and a plant. Service was horrible. Ice cream ok. Guess wanting me to support your local business has no meaning to this place.

It was really fun I wouldn't really suggest kids over 14 for the events but great for the younger kids we had a great time for the harvest event

We went today because we go there every year for donuts,food and pumpkins. This year the close the entrance to just buy that; you have to pay $25 dollars to only go and get that if not you can't go in.we didn't want to go to the games, we just want to get donuts and some chicken and the lady in the entrance was so rude and said no you can go, if you want donuts they are inside the store. I want the ones just fresh.so expensive this year. .like come on🙄

Beautiful farm and lots to do. My wife lost her phone in the hayride and we found it because of the staff. They genuinely care about the customers. Special thanks to Donna!

Very disappointed in visiting the farm this year - it turned into an amusement park with outrageous prices, ruining the whole experience for my family. It used to be a farm you could just walk into and see the animals and then the hayrides corn maze all was optional and you would pay per ticket. It was too commercial for me this year.

First time here and while I appreciate the diversity of things the veal cages are unacceptable. Also, their rabbits are on filthy grates with no bedding. If they haven't already, they will develop painful haunch sores. They also have the wrong food - no *fresh* Timothy hay in sight. Even meat rabbits need the bare minimum - and, these look like pets.
I want to support local farms. But don't support this one. Neither should you.

1st time visit in years .. way different.. alot more to do .. nice set up.. a tad expensive but that's the times ...
Merrymead is a lovely place to visit. There is a small shop for merchandise and another for groceries. They have a bakery and ice cream. Kids can visit the animals and there are often on site events. Things can be a bit overpriced and I was disappointed to see all the additives to their ice cream. Otherwise, a great experience and I’d recommend a visit.

Merrymead Farm is awesome. It's a great little farm with tons of fresh product to buy that are all absolutely delicious, and other fun activities like hay rides, seeing the animals, a maze and more. At 40 years old, I'm not above sticking my head in all the cut outs meant for the kids and taking silly pictures every time I visit. It's like a Halloween season staple for me at this point to come pick pumpkins there if we're carving pumpkins that year, take silly pictures, visit the store and grab some ice cream. If I enjoy it this much at 40, you can bet little ones are gonna have a ball!

What a fun place for the family! So many great fall-themed activities...and no alcohol = no drunk crowds.

Best place to go for an outing with family and friends or just quiet time with nature and you. The place is well organized and clean.The staff is very friendly and helpful. The animals are the highlight of the farm and I know people say it's the ice cream, but I say it's animals that makes the farm. God Bless Everyone's dedication! Sylvia
