Garden Patch Farms - Homer Glen, Illinois

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 hopefully this helps.

They have fresh produce and are very sweet. They also have fruit trees.

Went with our 4yo and 15mo grandkids, who had a great time picking out pumpkins and wandering around on a beautiful fall Saturday. And it was not crowded at all. The owners were very nice, and gave them each a free apple. I would definitely go back. Cash only, though.

We went to fall fest this morning with our two kids and 4 other adults and 4 kids. We all had a blast! The kids loved the hay rack ride, pony rides, petting zoo, bounce house and the pumpkin bowling. The donuts and apple cider were really great too. The girl who greeted us at the entrance let us know it's been a hard season for apples, so mostly everything was in bins which I thought was easier with two small kids! They were extremely helpful, friendly and honest. I can't wait to go back to fall fest again next year!

I d give this place a zero if I had the option. Owners were rude to my daughter and another young lady who each had different color hair saying “It’s not Halloween yet!” My daughter told him, “Everyday is Halloween!!!” Cash only. Veggies were limited and wooden decorations overpriced. Waste of time. Drive to Kuiper Family Farm. Well worth the drive. Clean pumpkins and apple picking. No parking or entrance fees. Resurrected a disappointing day for our grandson

We were in from Florida visiting relatives looking for things to do with a 1 1/2 and 3 year old. Even though it was very late in the season, end of October there were plenty of apples and vegetables for the kids to see and pick. They loved feeding the chickekens and seeing the other animals. They had a great time. It as educational and a great experience for all, adults as well as the kids.

We love it here! Strawberries, pumpkins, cherries and so much more...my daughter loves the adventure of picking her fruit fresh from the farm. The other great products like pickles and flavored butters in the market are some of our favorite staples at home! If you get a chance, definitely give Pick a try, I know it will end up one of your favorite places in the area!

SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! I have visited the farm on several different occasions, whether it was to pick the fields throughout the changing seasons or during Christmas at the Farm. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, helping out any way they can to make your visit truly special. The fruits and vegetables are fresh, delicious to eat and cook with. The events they have are perfect for people of all ages and families looking for something different to do. Absolutely love everything about the farm, staff and fields with fresh fruits/veggies!
