Blooms & Berries

This is a fun place to go. They always have so many fun things to do at Halloween. Great produce as well.

Since I don’t have children, I never thought about participating in the fall pumpkin patching that is so popular in the area. Some friends invited me to join their visit to B&B. I was so pleasantly surprised/​impressed with the experience.
There was a huge crowd of people when we visited, and admission was something like $ 10/​adult. There were several activities throughout the grounds to participate in (kids and adults alike). Farm animal pettings, a corn maze, hay ride to a pumpkin patch, other forts/​ring toss/​egg roll games, a story walk for kids, and a small indoor (one bale high) maze for kids and toddlers, and a GIANT AWESOME SLIDE! Throughout the day, there was a longer line for the hayride, but it kept moving.
Food options were available for purchase-​snacks and hotdogs/​burgers and such.
I’m told that several of the installations were new this year including the building at the entrance. Parking was ample and easy and while there were tons of kids and families and strollers and such, everyone was good spirited and having fun.
My hope would be that the next improvement would be to add permanent restroom facilities. There were portolettes and a small wooden building with stalls/​curtains/​rocking chairs for nursing.
Overall, a great fall experience. (O, and this place is cheaper during the week, if you can pull that off)

Beautiful farm! About 30mins away from northwest side of Cincy! $ 10 for everything which includes hayride, cornmaze, animals, and games for the kids! The sunflowers are out too which is beautiful. Beware, the corn maze is difficult and you can definitely get lost! Took 3 of us to figure our way out! You need an eye for detail and an imagination. I loved the many different sizes in pumpkins and they weren’t expensive. Also they were all perfectly orange and not dirty brown like in Kroger or Walmart. Overall definitely a cute find in Loveland! So happy I was able to scratch this one off of my fall bucketlist!

Fall on the Farm. Lots do to for price of admission. Beautiful field of sunflowers, hay ride, cow barrel ride, corm box to play in, farm animals, kids and adult mazes, climbing equipment, tire cut swings. Very friendly staff. Reco to go during the week if possible… less crowded though school/​daycare groups in the AN

Blooms & Berries deserves more than 3 stars, in my opinion. This place has something for everyone. My friends and I were the only group who didn’t have a child in the group, and we had a blast! Between the live animals (baby goats, awww), games, pumpkin patch, hay ride, sunflower fields — it was the perfect retreat for a fall day. Although, I’ll warn you, there’s a very intimidating corn maze, so despite being child-​less, we still opted for the kid’s maze.
I was kind of bummed that there was an admission fee of $ 12, but you really get your money’s worth. I came home with a regular pumpkin and white pumpkin for $ 8, but they also have a ton of other goodies in their shop (gourds, mini pumpkins, local honey, pumpkin butter, caramel apples, and even some pretty potted flowers). I definitely will be coming back!

Picked berries here and they were good and the fields were well tended to so the picking was easy. I enjoyed that experience, but was so dissapointed when we came to get our fall pumpkins, etc. …they CHARGE you to get in! We have 5 children so for us to go as a family would have cost us $ 70…whew! It is super dissapointing to me that you are charged to get in and purchase things from them… what? Why do they charge for this? They say that the charge includes the hayride, corn maze, etc. What if you don’t want to do all of that but just want to enjoy picking pumpkins with your family and purchasing some other fun fall time things? Then go to another farm… my absolute favorite: Shaw Farm on St. Rt. 131 in Milford. They offer all the same things that Blooms and Berries does but it is FREE! The only things you pay for are the items you want to buy and take home or if you chose to do a hayride, corn maze, barrel train, pedal tractor course, etc. You can visit all the animals for FREE and they have 2 very large areas for kids to run around and play including a «village» and pumpkin field area that you can pick out your pumpkins as a family. I hope this helps other families. Happy Fall!

This was our first time visiting here and we will definitely go again. My girls (3 y/​o and 18 m/​o) thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The staff there was very helpful. I informed them it was our first visit to pick strawberries and they explained everything to us! And they have a beautiful selection of flowers… we will definitely have to come back for those! This is a must during the summer! Great attraction! And now we have delicious strawberries to go home and eat (for cheap)!!

If you have small children and want to place to entertain them for hours, this is the place to go! Sure there is an admission fee, but it is essentially paradise for kids.
Slides, animals, games of all sorts, pumpkin patch, sunflower maze complete with a storyboard throughout… there was enough to keep my toddler constantly entertained and running around with mom and dad.
Oh yeah, they have pumpkins too, and plenty of locally produced food products all at a fair price.
I am looking forward to the spring for strawberry picking with the little one and more fun. Definitely a really nice Saturday outing with the family!

We went to Fall on the Farm at Blooms and Berries and had a great time. There is an admission fee, but it includes almost every activity including the corn maze and hayrides. Many other places charge separately for these.
The sunflowers were worth the price of admission alone. They made for some gorgeous photo ops. Definitely worth checking out when they are at peak.
The farm animals and the corn kernel play area were a big hit for my 14 month old. There were lots of activities for older kids as well. Farm games, a giant slide and a giant stack of hay seemed quite popular.
I was hoping to find better food options (hot dogs and chips were about the only thing available), but overall I definitely give two thumbs up.

Reviews for Blooms & Berries seem to differ greatly. It is said that «beauty is in the eye of the beholder.» In the case of Blooms & Berries, what stage of life the beholder is in is key. As a mother, bringing 3 children (ages 7 and under,) Blooms & Berries is a beauty.
A Groupon, and a packed lunch made our trip an affordable 6 hour outing. The children would have easily stayed longer, it was this mother that was getting tired. The Groupon was good for 4 wristbands/​admission tickets. Wristbands included unlimited hayrides, a 7 acre corn maze, small kids corn maze, giant slide, corn «sand» box, sunflower story path, and various other children’s activities. Other activities such as shooting pumpkins with paint balls, a «cow» ride, and egg toss were additional charges. The children loved all of the free activities. The hayride went into a forest with cutesie critter cutouts. To an adult the cutouts would be hokey, while the children found them funny. The story in the sunflower path was cute. The sunflowers were beautiful. I have never seen so many sunflowers in one place at a time. A mass of sunflowers made for some beautiful pictures. There is a scavenger hunt in the corn maze. It was clever. We only found ¹⁄₃ of the items on the list. When I saw the exit we left, rather than risk getting trapped in the maze for an extended period of time.
The pick your own pumpkins are overpriced at $ 0.42 per lb. Even Jungle Jim’s has pumpkins for $ 0.29 per lb. Also, they aren’t so u pick. They are already picked and sitting in a field. The field may only be accessed as part of the hayride (free with wristband.) On the other hand, this limits the number of people in the pumpkin patch at a time. I was able to get some amazing pictures of the children in this area, WITHOUT other people in the background. Smaller pumpkins are available is several spots around the play area. I allowed the kids to get small pumpkins. Larger pumpkins will be purchased for more reasonable prices elsewhere, at a later date.
Concession stand is available in the play area. Additional food items are available in the store. While we did not purchase any apple cider, I did hear people saying it was good.
For someone without children, I can see how the words «tourist trap» and «wasn’t particularly impressed,» would be used. This is one of those places that is truly appreciated when seen through the eyes of a child.

When I was planning on going to Blooms and Berries I thought that there would be lots of fruits, veggies and possibly baked goods but I was definitely wrong. We went on a Sunday around 11 and we thought we would be the first ones there… wrong! It was already packed. Most of the people there were families with small children. It didn’t seem like a place for couples without children.
First off. this place costs money. $ 8 per person! Though that did include hayrides and the corn maze. This place was mainly for kids. They had lots of toys and activities for them. The best part of our visit was seeing the beautiful sunflowers! I was very disappointed that there wasn’t too much stuff to do for adults and the farm is quite small. We were only there for maybe 30 minutes so it was a waste of money. If you have kids I’d say maybe go… I’m sure you can find a better place to spend your sundays with your family.

What a neat place! A great farm tucked away so much so that you will miss it if you drive by too fast. Great place to take the kids and enjoy all sorts of activities. «Fall on the Farm» is always fun, with tons of fall activities and tasty treats. Pumpkin prices are pretty good too! If you go on the weekends, more of the attractions will be open but during the week there is essentially no one there so that is fun as well. Fall is the best time of year and enjoying a visit to this farm should definitely be on your to-​do list!

We always have fun at the fall festival. It is really geared to young children, with lots of activities. My daughter is worn out by the end of the day. One of her favorite things is the big sandbox full of corn! A hayride out to the pumpkin patch, wandering around the sunflowers, mums and gourds for the porch. A great day!

My first review of Blooms and Berries was for their Halloween/​Fall kid event. This weekend we stopped by just to pick up some plants.
I don’t know. I’m someone who could be easily charmed by this indepent, family fun place but can’t seem to be.
The plants looked nice and healthy. We’ll see how they do in our garden.
The place gives off a certain… lassitude quality. That’s nice in a garden store but this one looked about to tip to slovenliness. I sensed a whiff of no one really caring. Things just needed picked up.
Unlike my last visit, the staff did acknowledge us. However, it seemed more out of obligation. My wife was the one doing the buying and knows what she wants. However, if it was me alone I had the sense I wouldn’t get much help.
Like I wrote above, I wasn’t charmed. It wouldn’t take much.

I just took my family of 6 to B&B Saturday. I had a list of 4 farms that we were going to visit. This was the first one for the fact that they had a coupon posted on
where you purchase a pase for 3 to get unlimited hay ride and corn maze for $ 12.50 which was be a savings of ½ the price. First before going I went to the websight to see if they accepted credit cards playing on getting some candy apples and popcorn for the kids. Didn’t see anything so I made a call to the phone number listed which was a recording. I left a message and still have not gotten a return call. When we got there I was a little surprised at the looks of things. Everything looked run down. The only animals they had were 2 goats. When we got there we went to the booth to turn in our tickets I had purchased on the internet. They they told me it was only one ticket per person. We are a family of 6 so I purchased 2 tickets. The guy there picked up the phone to call someone. I said in that case I will use one ticket and my husband can use the other. So they said ok. Another thing they only excepted cash for the food. Not sure about anything else because after the way they treated us after we purchased these coupons for $ 25 for both I didnt feel like spending anymore money there. The corn maze was ok. Since this was my first corn maze I don’t have anything to compare it to. The wagon ride was terrible. Over all a big waist of money even for $ 25. I will not ever go back to this farm again. I recommend Schappacher Farm over this one anyday. It is free and they have animals. What a waist of time and money.

Like most of my reviews, this one comes with a note: I have no kids. This entire following review and the stars I gave it are predicated on that fact. If you have no kids, the stars go much higher. At least three and possibly four.
Anyways, my fiancée and I visited Blooms and Berries last weekend because we needed pumpkins and I had never been to Loveland before. We drove out to B&B expecting a more typical farm. Entering, you find a little store where they sell the wares (honey, pumpkin butter, etc) you would expect to find at a fall festival. They have a bunch of pumpkins, both the classic orange and other types, for sale.
They have a number of attractions, including a corn maze, huge sunflower field with paths, hayrides to the pumpkin patch, goats to feed, and various other weird things like egg throws and pumpkin paintball shooting.
I wasn’t particularly impressed. Like I said, I expected more of a real farm, instead of a big field where they have booths set up and then a field of pumpkins and a field of sunflowers. I thought there would be more farm animals, which I am a fan of.
On the plus side, we did find some great pumpkins. They sell theirs for $.40 a lb. I have no idea whether that is a good deal or not. They have food for sale, but we didn’t get any of it.
Overall? If you have young kids and/​or if you live in the Loveland area, this might be for you. I’d consider trying again during produce season to see if they have anything good, but there are closer pumpkin patches to Cincinnati if that’s what you’re looking for.

Fall is my favorite season. Colder weather after a hot summer, leaves changing colors, snuggling in blankets, pumpkin, Thanksgiving — I can’t get enough. In a way to celebrate the season (and because I had a Groupon), the BF & I went to Blooms & Berries for Fall on the Farm last weekend. They offer a corn maze, sunflower maze, hayride to the pumpkin patch, plenty of kids activities, as well as pumpkins & squash for sale at the entrance.
Perhaps we missed a sign or something, but we didn’t find the place to purchase our tickets until we were leaving. We kept looking for a place to pay, but never found one. We did the corn & sunflower mazes then went on the hayride. We just showed our Groupon & no questions. Then when we returned to pay for the pumpkin, we finally found it. Better signage is definitely needed.
On the plus side we did get some apple cider (another wonderful thing about fall) and it was DELICIOUS. I wish I could find homemade apple cider like it in the store.
