McGlasson Farms

Take a nice ride along the river on a beautiful day to this adorable family farm. I usually make my pilgrimages in the fall but they have great stuff spring/​summer too! It’s all grown by them. First and foremost this is the best cider outside of upstate NY. Its always fresh. I’ve tried much of their produce including green peppers, acorn squash, apples, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Their tomatoes are divine. Dont forget to pick out a pumpkin whether its from their already picked patch, to walking through the field for just the right one. Everyone i’ve ever encountered working here is friendly and welcoming. On weekends during the fall they often have live music and apple fritters. Bring cash because thats all they accept!

McGlasson Farms is the perfect place to kill a few hours on a fall weekend. They have live music on most Saturdays and Sundays in the fall and a fairly wide assortment of fresh produce, homemade jams, and delicious apple cider. You can also purchase cheeses and meats. The prices are very reasonable given the quality. The staff is friendly and helpful. It isn’t very big so don’t plan to spend more than an hour or two there.

I’ve been going to McGlasson Farms since I was a kid. Every year, my mom would take us on the Anderson Ferry across the river and we would enjoy the scenic drive along the Ohio to McGlasson’s. I’ve carried on this tradition with my friends, and we are heading to McGlasson’s this weekend for our yearly trip!
At McGlasson’s, you can grab a wagon and head into the pumpkin patch to pick yourself a pumpkin, or you can peruse the bushles of apples and other produce as well as jams, butters, honey, apple cider, etcetera available for purchase. There are often bands playing at McGlasson’s on the weekends during the fall as well.
McGlassons definitely has a special place in my heart and I will continue to visit as often as I can. I encourage you to do the same =)

Ok, for those of you who didn’t grow up here, McGlasson’s is THE place for fresh produce. I have tons of memories as a kid, picking out produce from the barn and waiting for the crew to bring in the freshest picks. I was SO happy to see that McGlasson’s has stayed open (and thrived!) while I was living out of state! Love it!

McGlasson Farms is the quintessential roadside family-​owned farm. I needed pumpkins to carve and was told of McGlasson farms through Unilocal messageboards and friends of mine alike. My boyfriend and I decided to drive the 25+ minutes to the farm on a very sunny and seasonally warm Saturday in October. It was exactly what we wanted to see, and more.
Not only is the trip to the farm great (very scenic drive along route 8 in KY) but the farm has everything! We got carving pumpkins, apple cider, a caramel apple, a bushel of apples, and took a nice stroll through the pumpkin patch before we left. Though busy, it wasn’t chaotic, and the staff is so friendly. I plan on coming back to the farm for my local produce needs, especially when the weather permits a beautiful drive along the Ohio.

On an idyllic stretch of scenic Route 8 along the Ohio River sits McGlasson Farms fresh fruit and vegetable stand. I’ve enjoyed this place since my grandmother would take me there as a child.
On the weekends during the summers, this place can be packed with shoppers picking out unblemished zucchini, watermelons, tomatoes, green beans, corn, and potatoes. In the fall, you can grab bags of freshly plucked apples that are cheaper and taste better than those imported to your local chain grocery store.
My favorite thing about McGlasson’s is that the folks selling the goods are also the people that grew them. They give great pointers like which tomatoes make the best salsa and which apples should go into your apple pie. Around Halloween, their pumpkin selection is enormous, and don’t be surprised if you see a couple that look like they need to be in Guinness Book of World Records.
If you’re getting there from the West Side, take the Anderson Ferry for a scenic country drive.
