Enjoy Pioneer Farm

I came back a year later and everything is still great. I got to go potato picking, pumpkin picking, and bought some items for home. The same knowledgeable staff are still around. Prices are still great for the items you're getting.

What an awesome, quaint place. We spent a wonderful warm fall morning here on this real working farm. The owners are so wonderful and welcoming. We all loved the walk back to the pick your own pumpkins patch, right past two friendly pigs. Chickens clucked and we enjoyed a relaxing, simple experience. Sometimes it's the simple things that are the most memorable. Wonderful morning. Eggs, meat, gourds are all avail at very reasonable prices. What a gem.

When my bf and I first started going out over 3 years ago, we decided to go to Gobbert's pumpkin patch. While driving, we managed to get lost and somehow ended up at Pioneer Farms. Ever since then, I have been searching furiously online for this place and this year we finally found it! I love this place. It's not a touristy trap with running and screaming kids nor a hefty admission fee at the door. It's a local family owned farm, yes real farm, with animals all around and a large pumpkin patch in the back where you can pick and cut your own pumpkin. The prices are great as well, I got a medium pumpkin and 3 smaller ones, and the total came out to be $6. From now on, this will definately be the only pumpkin patch we will travel out to.

Come back after COVID ends. Staff not taking any precautions right now. Indoor areas do not have masks or social distancing.

Was so excited to pick up baby chicks. Pulled up to farm and asked worker for help: no answer but I did get a hi. Asked another patron where to go, found the barn, opened the door to find half customers no masked. Was greeted by a worker at the door who looked at me like I had five heads because I said I don't feel comfortable indoors in close proximity w/a crowd. And it was crowded. I asked if I could do business with her at the door and it was like pulling teeth. Her attitude was very unwolcomibg. Sad that I offend someone by wearing a mask.

A Wonderful rustic down to earth farm! Staff was friendly and devoted to the animals. Incredibly kind! My family and I had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

You have to love being able to hold real farm animals! For only $6 a head, you can have your own animal therapy session with ducks, lambs, goats, bunnies, chicks and even feed a calf a bottle! Come early - if there are crowds, you won't fit in the tiny barn and little ones could get anxious waiting. They also sell meat and eggs (produce in season).

The most amazing farm experience you could hope for! So educational, so hands on, and personable staff!! Will be back!! My 2 year old looovvedddd it!!

We visited Pioneer farm after finding it by accident on our way to Goebberts. So glad we did - Pioneer is a small family farm with some animals on the property. We got to see sheep and chickens and a few other animals. They sell meat and eggs if you are interested. The pumpkin patch was a good size and they give you a wagon to use out in the field - we found some great pumpkins! We also took home some nice mums and a bale of straw. Everything was reasonably priced. And there were farm kitties to pet! A much better experience than the overpriced Goebberts.

As March rolls in, I'm looking forward to visiting the baby lambs at Pioneer Farm. The farm is crawling with cute baby chicks, ducks, and assorted farm-related finery like flowers and veggies. If you're coming from Chicago, brace yourself for the smooth drive (about 1.5 hrs from Chicago). I'm a sucker for animals (not really into eating them), but rather hugging them. Be warned: Bring your camera and be prepared to nuzzle a warm, baby lamb. Good for adults and children!
