Fall on the Farm

Although nothing, and I mean nothing, can compete with Michigan in the fall, Alex and I do want to explore as much of the Cincinnati area as we can while we are here.  And I don't like being a weekend couch potato.  I recently discovered a blog titled 365 Things to Do in Cincinnati, and their recent post on Blooms and Berries Farm seemed like a perfect way to enjoy an 85 and sunny October afternoon.  (Seriously.  85.  Eighty-freaking-five.  Gorgeous.  I'm loving it.) 

Here are a few of our highlights:

Unique photo opportunities!

They have a corn maze and a sunflower path.  We opted for the sunflower path.  Mazes irritate me.  It's a patience thing.  Or lack thereof...

I mean seriously, does a fall day get any better than this?

They have a petting zoo, and you can buy food to feed them.

And lots of fresh, fall products for sale, including:

gorgeous mums,

fresh produce (I picked out a butternut squash and a spaghetti squash),

pumpkins (of course, we got one of those!),

and gourds galore!

They even had a tented area where you could purchase lunch.  Granted, it was only grilled hot dogs and potato chips, but if you had whiny kids with a grumbly tummy, it would come in handy.  Alex did try their 'fresh apple-cider.'  Verdict: sub par.  We did not purchase any to take home as we are holding out for the real thing from Michigan.  All in all, it was a fabulous fall Sunday fun-day!
