5.) Eckert's Farm
Posted by Melissa Lee on Saturday, July 10th, 2010 at 10:57pm.Located in Belleville, Milstadt, and Grafton; Eckert’s Farm is a year-round attraction. You and your family can harvest all the favorite crops that the seasons produce.
Fruit harvesting starts in spring with the freshest strawberries – all the way through Fall with pumpkins (harvest schedule is online).
Great amenities, restaurant and facilities, Eckert’s has events throughout the year. Learn about cooking, wine, fruit tree orchards, flowers, and just about everything your grandma told you, but forgot. Seasonal appropriate, you’ll also find classes about canning, preserving, Thanksgiving dishes, and more throughout the year. The ‘Mommy-and-Me’ sessions are a great time to learn and share with your children (event schedule is online).
Halloween at Eckert’s is our family’s favorite. Haunted Orchards - Haunted Hayrides - Jumpin’ Pumpkin Jamboree offers wagon rides, live entertainment & music, and petting farm. Wrap up the year and pick your own Christmas Tree - It’s a great time. Hey, the kids are only young once! This is a Must Do at anytime of the year.
