Burger Farm & Garden Center

I loved the garden center. They have good plants and good soil. I went everyday for a week this summer, and it was fun every time.
I remember some festival they had last fall, however. There were a lot of unhealthy animals displayed and kids were teasing them. I yelled at the disgusting children and even at some of their more disgusting parents. Like I don’t care. I’ll yell at people again. Anyway, if I see something like that at this place again, I won’t go back. I won’t to support anyone who wants to profit from allowing animals to be tortured.

Burger Farm has a wonderful fall festival and pumpkin hayride, but it’s so much more. This is one of the best garden centers in Cincinnati, with reasonably-​priced plants (both annuals and perennials) and a broader selection than you’ll find in many other garden centers. They have unusual plants, unusual colors, and it’s an overall wondeful place to browse for your garden.
There’s also a fantastic selection of pots, garden accessories and decorations, and plant care items. The staff is friendly and it’s easy to find help when you need it.
The fall festival was an annual tradition with our family when our son was little — rides, ponies, animals, games, face-​painting, a puppet show, and of course the hayride to the pumpkin patch at the back of the property. Love Burger Farm!!!

Burger Farm is an undiscovered east side treasure. This local farm has been locally owned and operated since 1904!
I remember when I was little this place used to have a puppet show, and a pumpkin patch and that was about it (still awesome) but it has been amazing to watch it grow into what it is today. Also I love the fact that Mr. Burger himself STILL does the same puppet show from when I was a kid. A MUST for families, couples & friends all year round!

Perfect place to take younger children to. Lots of stuff to do. Rides, puppet show, games, face painting, petting zoo, and of course hayrides. My grand kids love it!!!

This place is amazing. It’s pretty much a one stop shop for anything fall related you could want. If you’ve got little ones (or your just super immature like me) you’ll love this place! There is a hayride out to pick pumpkins, a puppet show, pony rides, small farm animals to see, a maze, bouncy house, clown, etc.
I really enjoyed wandering up and down the aisles looking at all of the fall merchandise everywhere. I spent a lot of time contemplating where I could shove a scarecrow at home or how many pumpkins were «practical». Oh! I even got to hold a snake! I sampled some hot apple cider which really brought the whole fall experience full circle for me. There is a $ 2.00 admission at the front to enter but the hayride and puppet show are no extra cost. The rest of the rides/​activities take tickets which can be purchased on site for about $ 1.50 a ticket.
The hayride is decently long and takes you up to some pumpkins to look through. The little pumpkin pie pumpkins were $ 1.50 each and the larger pumpkins were $ 0.39 a pound. I really enjoyed myself and will make this a ritual every fall!

I’ve been going to Burger Farm since I was a kid. I went on field trips for school, family trips, and sometimes just to go by myself. Burger Farm had always been a fantastic place as child because of the amount of activities that they offer. They put up tons of little carnival style booths with games like Duck Pond, Lollipop Pull, and Skeeball. They also have tons of mini rides, like go kart races, and others to keep any kid occupied for the day.
One of my favorite things to do was watch the puppet show that is put on every hour. It isn’t so much interesting now that I’m older but it still brings back memories of all of my trips the Burger Farm. Stick around after the show for a farm-​wide Chicken dance. Another neat thing to do is give the Hay Maze a try. Don’t get stuck though, it’s not as easy as it looks.
The best time to go is during the fall around Halloween. This is when all of the pumpkins, gorges, and corn husk novelties are put out for sale. Shop to your hearts desire. This is without a doubt the best place to go to get your pumpkins for either carving or just for show. I say this because you can either pick from any of the huge bins full of pumpkins or go on the hayride back into their personal pumpkin patch and pick em right out of the ground (sorta). The Hayride is a blast and the kids love running around the patch looking at all of the different sized and shaped pumpkins.
After the ride grab a bite to at eat some of the concession stands around the farm. Make sure to get some apple cider that’s made «in-​house», or should I say, «in-​barn». Don’t worry if you didn’t get enough because you can buy it by the gallon if you so choose. Grab up some candy or caramel apples to go along with the cider. Better than anything you’ll get in any grocery store.
If you plan on heading out to Burger Farms make sure you have a full day as you will surely want to experience every aspect of the property. It is a little bit out of the way which could push people away from going but I urge you to give it a shot. Besides your not really going to find a farm any closer than this one.
You can really go any time of the year but the Fall is their main attraction and I would hold off going until this time anyway or your not going to get the full experience. And for your kids sake (or the kid inside of you) you want the full experience.
