Eckert's Garden Center is a go-to place for a fun fall experience and year-round family activities. It offers a classic farm visit with tractor wagon rides out to pick fresh, delicious Fuji apples and pumpkins from the field. The views from the fields are picturesque and beautiful. Visitors can enjoy the country store, which has some of everything, including sweets like open hand pies, apple cider donuts, cookies, pickled vegetables, and a deli. A tip from reviewers is to skip the sit-down restaurant and instead get the famous fried chicken from the deli, as the restaurant receives mixed reviews regarding food quality, service, and value. The hot-n-fresh fried chicken from the deli is noted for its perfectly seasoned, crisp, and golden brown skin. Other attractions include a cider venue with amazing cider, a custard stand for frozen custard, and outdoor games. The custard receives mixed opinions on taste but is praised for its huge portions. The farm hosts seasonal events like Breakfast with Santa, which is perfect for shy kids, and offers camel rides. It is a dog-friendly location with plenty of parking. Overall, Eckert’s provides so much fun for all ages, making everyone feel like a kid at heart, though many recommend focusing on the farm, store, and pick-your-own activities over the restaurant.
Eckert's is the go to place for a fall experience. Not only is the cider amazing but be sure to take the tractor wagon ride to pick fresh delicious Fuji apples & the plumpest pumpkin in the field! After our picking, we went to the Country Restaurant to enjoy lunch. You can't beat a fresh homemade meal!

Our primary purpose was to pick Apples, but rain stopped that plan. Were able to locate Apples, Peaches, and Tomatoes, so the trip was worth it.

Nice selection of small annuals, annual baskets and some perennials. Cute gift shop.
