Today, visitors come to pick fruit the orchards and shop at the farm's bakery and farm stand, which feature mouth-watering pies, muffins, our famous cider donuts, breads and wonderful gift items for the home and to give as presents. Children can go on an educational hayride with their school or group, have a birthday party, attend our summer Nature & Craft program or visit our animals.
SMOLAK FARMS is best known for 7 months of orchards. Just a sampling would be strawberries in June; sour cherries in July;peaches, nectarines and plums in August; apples and pumpkins in October. This year we will also have raspberries in July and September as well as tomatoes sometime in August. The farm continues to bustle with excitement in November and December as children rush to find and cut that perfect Christmas tree! Parents love our holiday gifts and our homemade gingerbread houses. Santa also visits so kids can tell hm what they want for Christmas. SMOLAK FARMS loves kids! We have festivals periodically throughout the year and in the fall, we have children's entertainment every weekend along with pony rides, hop-on-hayrides, a food court and children's crafts. We also offer group hayrides on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for which a reservation is required. Our pine grove area, complete with a 40' by 80' white peaked tent, is the perfect place to host a function while enjoying the beatiful outdoor setting of the farm.
