Be warned! Please read before placing any orders with shady brook farms and reconsider doing so! There are dozens of landscape shops around to buy from do not be another one of shady brook farms victims! I've included the letter I wrote to both owners of the company as well as a picture of proof that they have indeed discriminated against me for complaining about this situation. For 12 years I was a loyal customer of shady brook farm and I used them as one of my main sources for material for my contracting business. In those 12 years I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars at shady brook farm. One day shady brook farm and one of their managers decided to screw me over on one of my jobs, in which I had placed a delivery for material with them. Shady brook farm cost me my customer and lost me the job. When I complained to them about this situation and the harm they had caused me, to my shock and horror they told me not to use them again. As if it wasn't bad enough that shady brook lost me one of my long term clients they had the audacity to take no accountability or responsibility for their actions. I was expecting shady brook to be extremely apologetic and offer to come out and make an apology to my customer in person and perhaps offer to do several orders on them to remedy the situation and honor my loyalty to them for over a decade, as most companies would have done. In my 15 years of professional experience I have never encountered anything like the way shady brook conducts themselves. Be warned!! If you order something from shady brook and they screw it up, they will blame it on you, not fix it or remedy it and will not take responsibility for doing so! I have thousands of customers in the area, I have shared my experience with this company with many of them and there are about 40 who have said they will never consider buying a plant from shady brook farm again. These people also have told others, so not only did they lose me as a customer but potentially hundreds of others as the ripple effect unfolds from how they treat their customers. This company does not care who they turn into an enemy. Feel free to inbox me, I'm more than happy to share my experience with whoever is interested in knowing more.

It's a family-friendly spot with a nice little playground area for the kids, a seasonal outdoor serving window with the most delicious homemade ice cream. There are prepared cartons of this amazing treat inside the store. Shady Brook has a beautiful Garden Center filled with exceptionally healthy looking plants for purchase along with everything needed to keep your garden growing. There are plenty of picnic style tables for easy seating while they host weekend concerts inside the Garden Center. It's an amazing place to visit while the holidays are in full swing ~ poinsettias, holiday decor, lovely greens, gifts ~ so pretty. The food shop has many delicious choices ~ DiBruno Brothers cheeses, a variety of crackers, produce, jams/jellies/sauces, ready to eat deli options, nuts, candy, gourmet frozen food offerings ~ too many to name here. Plenty of parking, super friendly staff, holiday lights shows, an outdoor seating area to enjoy your Shady Brook Farm treats ~ it's a lovely place to visit in any season.

Live music in the greenhouse is more like a community event than a restaurant.A wide selection of local beers, decent pizza & salads, and ice cream (inside the farm store), make this a fun group outing!Kid-friendliness: The open dining in the greenhouse make for the perfect place for kids to run around between the picnic tables. And if the weather is nice, there's a playground just outside.

My wife and I were driving by as saw the Christmas lights drive through area from the highway. It looked amazing and festive. We decided to drive in, we drove through a bit and there wasn't a gate or anything so we figured that it was free just like one we just went to in Lewes DE called schellville Christmas village. So we were driving and came to a shack (so I guessed that we would have to pay). It was a little wait until we came to the window. A lady stuck her head out and demanded our ticket. I I apologized and said sorry we don't have a ticket. We're new here and saw the lights from the road. The lady rudely said it's $60 to get in. Wow! That's ridiculous. I asked one to get out of here!! She pointed at the side and slammed the window. Kid you not guys, there is a whole separate road for people that refuse their insanely high prices. Trying to get out was horrible. There were cones and abandoned parking lots everywhere. I ran over a few cones to avoid driving in circles. The funny thing was, most of the light displays were advertising for local businesses so why was it so expensive??

The lights are undeniably great but the price has been creeping up over the last few years and it's becoming unsustainable for smaller families. $50 a car is excessive. Especially if you consider families with only 1 child. So if you go be absolutely sure that your seats are filled with young eyeballs. You can either drive yourself or hop on their tracker hay ride. Be sure to bundle up if you're signing up for the hay ride. There are two lanes and people drive fairly slowly, some times around the turns you will be stopped but you'll be moving soon enough. They have some classics like the 12 days of Christmas, some awesome sponsored light segments that are more complex. My favorite is the candy cane trees that are brightly lit up white and red. It's a fun time and we would love to continue coming to Shady Brook Farm, but hopefully they consider some price reduction in the future.

I came here for the drive through holiday light show and it was a lot of fun! Grab some hot chocolate (or bring your own like I did), turn on the Christmas radio station, and enjoy some beautiful light displays from the comfort of your car. It was really cold the night I went so I appreciated the drive-thru experience. Once you're done driving around you can actually park at the market and do some shopping. They had groceries and a lot of local items that you can't really get elsewhere (like jams, sauces, etc.) they also had a little Christmas decor store to walk around as well. There was also a bar next to the grocery shop if you wanted to grab a drink and some food. There were fire pits everywhere and you can make s'mores which I thought was so cute. There's also more light displays that you can walk around and check out, with plenty of opportunities for taking pictures. Overall I think this is a really cute idea for a family, date night, or even just something to do with friends, especially if you don't wanna be out in the cold the whole time!
Crystal P.
I didn't know we could've just come and gone to the market but whatever we had fun going to both. Market is adorable and the farm was fun for my boy. I'd come here again. Especially the market part! We got such delicious things.

Here to see the seasonal stuff! Autumn is here!! It's super busy today. They have a light show they're preparing for this evening. There is also a band here today !! Wow! Of course, I'm very happy to see their freshly made. Ice cream section had pumpkin flavor! They all sorts of premade food, and I was really happy to see the variety of pumpkins they had .

If you're looking to hangout with friends, i'd skip. over the years, they made the farm more and more geared towards kids, so the halloween attractions aren't as good as they used to be, and they keep doing the same thing every year. When i was a teen, it was something to do. now that i'm older, i feel it's a complete waste of money to go.

So expensive. The ice cream sandwich was obnoxiously big, I assume to overcompensate for the lackluster taste. Will not be back

Love this farm so much. Goes without saying its a Bucks County staple for so many reasons. This 110 year old farm originally known for its produce and greenhouse came into fame for one of the Northeast's best & biggest Christmas Light shows. Now its huge expansion includes a store, a small bar promoting local breweries, an ice cream stand, an outdoor event space with bands, food/drink and fireworks, seasonal pickings like apples, pumpkins or sunflowers and the Fall corn maze. Beyond its abundant fresh produce, the store has homemade pasta, delicious baked goods and sandwiches, as well as Stonewall Kitchen gourmet goods. But oh the ice cream stand is a family summertime hangout. With comfy outdoor seating galore and a swing set, it's the perfect place to try their homemade mouthwatering flavors. Its everchanging unique flavors you won't find elsewhere such as Cannoli, Tiramisu, and Watermelon are served generously at reasonable prices. Enjoy a cone or a can of beer while watching the sun set on the farm then head to the field for a rocknroll evening as low as $12. Heartbreaking to hear after a century the farm must be sold since the offspring arent interested in inheriting it (from what I understand). It's a beloved popular hotspot which will be extremely missed in the community if its not upheld. I send the Fleming family a huge thanks for years of joy, along with well wishes of retirement, as well as luck that passionate buyers could continue this tradition. Spend time on this precious lot while you can.

The rudest staff I have ever encountered. I witnessed two different employees hang up when my sister called for a refund on an inedible watermelon. This is a local market and relies on this community. It is shocking that any vendor would allow its employees to treat anyone in this manner.
