I went to the flower picking section, the hayride was free and we paid for the tin to put the all the flowers we picked, great time.

Write oneFun family activity! The farm is small but has a good amount of fruits/veggies, and the flowers are beautiful too! The lunch spot and ice cream were delicious—totally a good spot to stop by for a couple of hours!
I filmed a commercial here around the day my girlfriend and I had our first date so we came back a year later for Halloween! So this review is months late. We went at the end of September so everything was pretty much in full swing. I’d say the light show is not really worth it, there isn’t much going on there. It could possibly be better during Christmas but I’m not sure.
The large blow up slides are great for kids and adults but it is a long climb up.
There were 2 separate bar areas so at the middle one we got a beer which was good and then a cocktail at the other.
The pumpkin patch is pretty vast and there are little gift shops basically everywhere all basically selling the same things; food and accessories.
There’s fire pits with seats for roasting marshmallows which we loved! As well as live performances, animals, a station to find your own rocks and crystals or something like that and you can also rent space ahead of time for parties and large groups.
I will say the animas all looked very sick and not in good spirits at all. There’s also obviously a haunted house and other kid activities we just did all the adult things. Would definitely go back especially for the grocery part of the farm near the lower parking lot and all of the sweets and food.
They have a huge display of lights that are absolutely beautiful. They still had their village open even though it was after christmas.And we did a little shopping and got some ice cream at uncle dave's.It was just a great event.They even had a banned playing and fire pits available with s'mores kits!
We visited Shady Brook Farm on a weekday and had such a fun time! One thing to note — on Mondays and Tuesdays, many of the attractions are closed. I didn’t realize this ahead of time since I didn’t check the website, but the staff pointed out it’s listed there. So definitely check online before planning if you want the full experience.
That said, we still had a wonderful visit! Beyond picking up our pumpkins and mums, we enjoyed taking beautiful fall photos (the decorations and photo setups are perfect), letting the kids play at the playground, and finishing the day with some delicious ice cream. The farm has such a festive atmosphere, and even with limited attractions open, there was more than enough to do.
Overall, Shady Brook Farm is a great spot for families in the fall. Even on a quieter weekday, it’s worth the trip — just be aware of the schedule so you can plan accordingly. Definitely recommend! 🍂🎃🌻
