From start to finish, I had a wonderful experience with this farm. Let me start out by saying, I wanted to throw my best friend an unconventional Baby Shower. She doesn't typically like parties or fuss, but I knew she'd love being out in nature with those closest to her, celebrating the life growing inside of her. My husband had the genius idea of going apple picking, and I just rolled with it. I emailed a couple of farms expressing that I'd like to throw a small "party" (only 10-15 people) where we can play games, eat pie, pick fruit, etc. 5 got back to me, but I was most excited about going with Garden of Eve.
I started finalizing plans about a week out from the event. Both Eve and Elizabeth were absolutely amazing to communicate with. I didn't want the guest to pay for anything so they built an invoice for me where I can pre-pay for farm admission/hayrides, Strawberry Picking (that's what was in season at the time), catered food and drink, and of course some pies!
When we arrived, there were 2 long tables for us and Elizabeth immediately discussed itinerary with me. She was so accommodating. We said we'd like to start with food, because we built up an appetite on the long drive.
Here's what we had:
Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Turkey & Cheese Sandwiches which had some fresh pesto, potato salad, crudite, and ginger iced green tea. The food was a hit! The sesame heros that were used tasted so fresh and amazing, the veggies...super fresh and the ranch included was to die for, seemed home made. The potato salad was perhaps the biggest hit. We couldn't stop talking about it. The food was 5/5 starts, so affordable and outstanding freshness and flavors. Same stands true for the iced tea.
Next we went on a hayride, then fed the animals, and then did a surprise gender reveal. My friend held pink balloons and her husband held blue. One person would let go of their balloons and the ones remaining would reveal the gender. We did this out of the field in front of a haystack and what a beautiful scene!
I brought Play Doh and we made Play Doh babies and the mom and dad to be chose their favorites. Next we went strawberry picking. This was so much fun! I actually went home and dipped these in chocolate :) it was delicious.
We ended the "party" with pies. Yummmm, we all loved the apple pie. We wanted to order another, but they were already sold out. Goes to show how yummy it was!
All in all, it was quite amazing. As a plus they had a bouncy house, playground, and some toddler/child bikes to play with. My niece is 6 and joined us and she had the most amazing time. It was fun for all ages. I would definitely go back.
Thanks for the wonderful people that made this day so special!
