Saunders Farm is the best farm I've ever seen. Large, beautiful, cozy and full of a variety of activities. I spent a morning until evening with my family and I would like to have an experience for the night plan on this farm next time.

Really enjoyed a day out here with the family. Unlike many other frms we've been to, this one is meticulously maintained. Staff was very nice. Zipline was included as part of the ticket. We also had a tour on tractor driven cart. There are hedge mazes here too along which was a unique experience. This is a highly recommended place for a family day out.
