Hi Everyone! Welcome to Blog #7 :)
Today is March 18th, 2025
I am very excited to be discussing one of the best local spots to hit! Eckert’s is a family farm business that offers fresh produce, a restaurant, a store, and many more. As well as including four convenient locations: Belleville, Millstadt, Grafton (Illinois locations), and Versailles Orchard, Ky.
I have gone to Eckert’s in Belleville ever since I was a little girl. It is such a fun environment that offers the best service and delicious food! My top favorite events are apple picking, hayrides, and fresh bakery goods. There is not one time I have been upset with the service or products it is also one the best family-friendly place to go.
Eckert’s Family Farm hosts events every major holiday and season. The establishment, on top of producing seasonal products, decorates the farm like no other establishment. It brings me great joy to see Eckert’s during the fall and winter. You have to see for yourself that the Christmas decorations are amazing. With that being said, Eckert’s also provides the best Christmas Trees!
It is a family tradition every year that my parents take my brothers and me to Eckert’s and spend the whole day hanging out, eating great food with even greater people!
Hands down, Eckert’s is a must on your to-do list.

Growing up, my family would go to Eckert’s a couple of times a year, and I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures of the beautiful scenery and, of course, all the yummy treats. We would pick apples and pumpkins, and one year, we even attended a murder mystery dinner there! It’s such a unique experience, and I’m so glad you highlighted that in your post.
A family tradition that my family does every year around Christmas is our Dirty Santa ornament exchange. It’s always so much fun and a great way to bring…
