I have always wanted to check out the Harvest of Fall Fun here so we went this year. Its actually a fun place to go for couples, you do not have to have children to enjoy the fun. :) We went during the week to avoid the crowds and even though the parking lot was still somewhat full, it was not overly crowded. We basically headed straight over to the side of the highway where the maze is located and hardly anyone was on that side. The maze was pretty interesting, I recommend that you try it if you are up for a challenge. (study a map first or bring one!) They had a ton of mini pumpkins (always a plus in my book). The vases in which to put your fresh cut flowers were wonderful, love the colors. And the pumpkin flavor ice cream is as good as they say. On the main side there are a lot of picnic tables under the shade trees which was nice. Good times.

We went here strictly for the Texas Maze and we had a blast! We went on a Tuesday so it was not crowded at all. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed feeding the goats as well. We even found all the cities and completed the maze which topped off our day!

I have read so many great reviews about this place but my mother and I were extremely disappointed. I was expecting a fairly relaxed day but what we got was quite a few let downs. First off this place was so busy it was impossible to do anything without waiting in line for extreme amounts of time. So after 20 minutes I tried to have high hopes and got one ticket for everything for my son and two for only the hay ride and maze. This came to $75. Let me just try to sum up my experience. I did not at all enjoy my day here. It was hot and the lines were very long and all in direct sunlight no shade or trees near any of the activities. One of the main reasons for my visit the horse ride, was an hour plus wait people were giving away their tickets because of this. The famous ice cream wasn't that good ended up in the trash. They were out of all the food they offered, practicality everything on the menu was gone. Nearly all the activities where out in the sun, I was dripping sweat when I made my scarecrow. A task my child abandoned because it was so uncomfortable.at the end of the day they were closing and I still had my hay ride and maze tickets but after literally standing in the sun in lines baking all day I had to give it up. They will not refund you however and only offer you pumpkins in return. I spent a lot of money there and I feel like the least they could do is refund four tickets that we didn't have time to get to because it was so ridiculously busy and on top they were rude about it. I will never go back to this place which is a shame because it could have been fun. I believe if they expanded the areas for the activities so it didn't take half the day to do one and put some shade up it would have been a million times better. We were all glad to leave.

This was our second time to visit. The day before it was pouring down rain. They did so good updating their Facebook page about the farm's condition. We opted to go out around noon after the rain stopped. It wasn't overly crowded. It made for a beautiful day. All the farm's attractions were open except the horse rides. The staff is always so friendly. We just love coming. We will be back. And the value--- you can't beat the prices! My husband got a 36lb. Pumpkin for $13. What?! The kids love it. Wear your fav fall outfits and take lots of pictures!!

My sweet husband and I ventured to Marble Falls and the nearby Sweet Berry Farms on a recent Saturday. It is easy to find and the parking was close and plentiful. We went straight to the blackberry rows and began our quest for large juicy black beauties. And we found them. I outlasted my hubby as the sun and heat was typical for a June weekend. But as I was alone, searching among the vines, I was transported back to when I was a little girl going through the woods with my brother and sisters to find delicious berries on a Saturday morning. I popped a berry in my mouth and tasted the sweetness and tartness of the berry. Oh, joy! This was fun, just simple fun. We paid for the berries - about as much as I would pay at the grocery store but boy, it was fun just knowing we picked them fresh ourselves. I saw many families there and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. I would recommend you find this creative adventure for yourself.

My grand-daughter and I had such a wonderful time picking strawberries. We had a picnic and then spent an 1 1/2 hours picking strawberries. They learned so much about how strawberries begin from flowers to buds to green berries and then ripe strawberries. The cost was affordable. We loved petting and feeding the goats. The 3 girls (all age 5) then had fun jumping on the bouncy mattress and riding the train. The rides were $ 3.00 each and the strawberries were $ 2.75 pound. We drove over an hour and something that I would do again.

Recommend for families with younger children, cost can be what you make it. Admission is free and activities are "ala carte". Activities range from train rides, pumpkin painting, bounce area, pumpkins for sale, face painting in the fall to strawberries and blackberries to pick in the spring, and at some time of the year they have potatoes and other veggies to dig/pick yourself.

The Sweet Berry Farm is a favorite destination for me and my family. Families will find the most fun when visiting in the Fall for the pumpkins and activities, but the Spring and early Summer visits yield beautiful berries ripe for the picking. One should always check their website before going to make sure that they are open, inquire about methods of payment, etc.. Sometimes the price of produce seems a bit high because the consumer is doing a little bit of labor, paying the farm for one's own work.

We drove over 2 hours to come here. This was our first time to ever come. We were simply looking for a pumpkin patch and got so much more! The atmosphere is soooo family friendly! They have a small cornfield maze for families with smaller children. Our kids (5, 3, and 10 mo.) loved it! They have a larger one as well in the shape of Texas which we would have loved to do, but maybe next time. The kids loved walking through the fields of flowers and getting to pick their own bouquet. They had tractor train rides and animal petting areas. Their face painting set up was so nice and ran smoothly. I could go on and on but suffice it to say, you are missing out if you don't make it a point to attend. This is our new family tradition! Makes for a great day trip! Oh yeah...and what everyone wants to know... the prices....soooo inexpensive! There is not an entrance fee and you only pay for what you do. You won't go broke here either!! Loved it!!!!

We went to the farm on Oct. 19, 2013 & my kids were really looking forward to it. The farm was extremely busy & when we first pulled up to the gate we were directed to the opposite side of the road from the pumpkin patch. We had to park really far away from the entrance. There was no handicapped parking of any kind available in the lot we were in. We were with my elderly mother who cannot walk very far distances so we had no other choice than to have her wait in the car for myself & my kids. This was not a good start to the day. The pumpkin patch was quite a walk through the tunnel under the road & we opted to not even go over there, as we would have had to haul the pumpkin back with no wagon or anything. My kids were upset about having to leave their grandma in the car, a long walk even from a restroom, so we opted to just pick flowers & head on back. I observed most people in our parking lot returning with no pumpkins, either. It was a real let down. I would suggest that next year the farm have pumpkins to purchase on both sides of the road, & to let people know ahead of time that there is no handicapped parking. Anyone in a wheelchair would have certainly been left out, & it really stunk to have my mom wait behind instead of participating. Shame on ya'll.

We visited here in March 2013 & the Grand-kids, 3 year old twin girls, 12 year old girl, & 15 year old boy, to pick strawberrys. It was a first time experience & they all had fun. After picking we fed the goats & they all jumped on the balloon things. Had strawberry lemonade & popsicles which was very good. That night we had strawberrys & they asked if those were the ones they had picked. They enjoyed them even more.We took the now 4 year old twins to the pumpkin patch in Oct 2013 & they had a ball seeing all the different pumpkins. They loved jumping on the balloon things again.All in all this is an awesome place.

The Sweet Berry Farm was a blast! We took our 4 yr-old granddaughter for the opening weekend of pumpkin season. No berries in October, but so many different kinds of pumpkins and gourds to see, touch, hold and buy - it was super. I love the fact that there's no parking or entrance fee. You only pay for the things you choose to do. All attractions are individually priced, and very, very affordable. Families were having a great time. The flower field was ablaze in color, and available to pick yourself to take home. Our granddaughter loved the Berry Bounce, a huge trampoline that is raised like a pillow top. She enjoyed the hayride, the face painting, and the barrel train. We walked along the area where the next crop of strawberries have already been planted, under arbors where an odd array of gourds are growing, and alongside the interesting and lively goats that live at the farm. It was so much fun, and we are definitely going back!

We took the kids out during strawberry season. It was pretty muddy as it had been raining a lot lately. We found about a box full of strawberries when we called it quits. We went soon after opening time and there were already tons of people out there. There are picnic tables and they do have hand sanitizer available. You can bring your own food. They have a few things available for purchase, but I don't think they had whole meals. There were some horses that you can pet at a fence. The other attractions I didn't see while we were there.
