Browns is one of those places that you can not pass up when travelling. Try to pass there in the morning before the crowds arrive for picking apples etc. They have a good selection of local produce and other goods. Their Apple Cider is particularly good and they have Apple Cider Donuts that are scrumptious , and a large selection of pies The Donuts are $6.49 for a pkg of 8 and the Cider is $3.99 for half gallon I also bought a loaf bread which they have about a dozen varieties ranging from Pumpkin bread to Blueberry bread to Cranberry nut bread etc. They are all price about $6.99 The staff is excellent and ample. There is a sampling area if you want to try something first and a gift shop with clothing and lots of brick-a-brack. Enjoy your trip through Amish country and stop at Browns
Just down the road from our friends home in Waterport is Browns. If you like to pick your own strawberries in June. Or your pick Apples. In late Sept or early October this is your placeThere also is a fully stocked general / country store though priced a little high for such things as jams and sauces and relishes.Browns also has a line of clothing too with their name embroidered on things such as jackets sweatshirts and t-shirtsA fun place for families to spend an hour to two.
Ice cream was delicious, unique can and rope relay style to feed goats, fun wooden playground, fresh berries, cute country store....we loved it!
Brown's is one of our favorite spots to go in the Rochester area. We make at least 1 trip there a yr usually bringing our grandchildren...have picked cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apples, blueberries there. Children love the farm activities. Be aware this is not free...but its worth the price to bounce on the bounce pillow, climb the ropes, see the farm animals etc. The ice cream is the best. Helpful hint...They offer a discount for u pick fruit if you are a AAA member. Be prepared for a hour ride if you are coming from Rochester nice way to go is on the lake Ontario parkway.
Generally only get Ice Cream and visit the goats. But the Ice Cream is awesome! The Waffle cones are perfect. we enjoy the goats and petting zoo. The shop inside is nice as well. See you next Summer.
Great family place. Trained goats Yes I said trained to pull their food up a pulley system from the guest. It's a place to eat burgers, sandwiches, ice cream cones, fresh fruit, u pick fruit. Nice family drive from Buffalo or Rochester!
We've stopped for ice cream many times while on a ride. They sell all kinds of baked goods, produce, fudge, and gift items. There are samples of jams and sauces throughout the store. There are animals for the kids too. It's a good place to bring a family.
Excellent place to take the kids, pick your own berries but get there early in the fall to get the best selection, there's lots for the kids to do, things might be a little more expensive, but there is the entertainment factor to think of and they supply a lot of that.
It is just a fun experience to drive out to the country and pick some berries. The prices aren't bad, but there are times you can get cheaper berries in the grocery store. So if you aren't into the experience of picking berries, don't do it, (and come on TA to complain.) There are kids' activities (for young kids), a store with countryish gifts foods, etc. There is also lunch food and ice cream.Bottom line: If the experience sounds appealing to your family, it probably will be. Know that the prices at the store are a bit high, but many such places are like that.
A fantastic afternoon at the berry farm. The grandchildren had lots of fun on all the activities and especially enjoyed picking out the three pumpkins! A great place to take the kids.
