Nice spot for some groceries and seasonal goods like pumpkins. Really fun menu with great brunch options. I got the quiche which was pretty heavy and a large portion size but we also ordered the croque madame which was DELICIOUS and a good size. Our server was incredibly helpful and friendly.The food was a bit too heavy for me personally but some people might like that. The ambience in the dining area is a bit sparse with no music and a less cozy feeling but the indoor shopping area is quite cute and friendly.Would love to go back for the corn maze and other events they have!

Ards catered for our wedding. Paige was our point of contact and was so incredibly helpful in arranging for the many details, including on the day of the wedding. Every bite was delicious and we received many compliments on the food, drinks, and desserts. Thank you!

Ard’s Farm did a great job catering and bartending my wedding. Everything came as expected, they were attentive, and even assisted in making sure the small details and decor I supplied for plating and dessert were assembled beautifully.

The re-opening of Ard’s restaurant now called “The Banty Rooster” is complete and the food does not disappoint! From the best potato skins of your life to delicious chicken and waffles and the amazing burger piled high with bacon and a giant onion ring! They have brought back what made Ard’s special with their salad bad and great kids menu in a family friendly atmosphere. The service is friendly and the chef always makes time to say hello and asks for feedback. If you are looking for a family friendly spot to eat great farm food this is the best spot in the area!

We used Ard's Farm as our wedding catering in September 2021 and they were amazing! We attended multiple complimentary tastings and pretty much everything we tried was tasty. We decided to do a buffet style dinner at our wedding due to the way our venue was set up, and it worked perfectly. The staff from Ard's were always helpful and communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process. The food was delicious and everyone is still raving about how good the dinner was! Would definitely recommend for wedding catering :)

This place really captures the essence and character of Buffalo Valley, and surrounding Union County. While we were there on the waning days of fall, it seems this place was once a flurry of activity with its petting zoo, corn maze, and playground area. Inside the building is a spacious restaurant with a somewhat limited menu, and higher prices than what you'd see for that sort of venue, but both of us enjoyed our food, and if you're into sweet tea, this has a touch of "meadow" in it, which was delightful. The retail outlet contains a deli, fresh and frozen meats, dairy products, canned goods, soup mixes and old-fashioned candies. They also have a kiosk for Shade Mountain Vineyard. We picked out a few pumpkins and also noticed they had a good selection of bird feed. I felt that some of the prices were a little high for this region, but also took into consideration that most places are increasing prices, to recoup their losses during the COVID shutdown. I can't wait to go back the next time we're through there.

The place was awesome! Fun for the whole family! There's a little something for everyone, even a monster truck for dads like me. Dont forget to shoot the corn cob cannon, stop by and see Blondie, Socks, and Stripes in the pig race (I'd put my money on Socks!) And try not to get lost in the corn maze like I seemed to be doing all day. There is so much more to do I can't even list it all. It was a great time for all of us and the staff were all so friendly. Prices were very fair if not even a little on the cheap side. I'll definitely be back next year for sure!

We selected Ard’s for our wedding caterer and we’re so glad we did. Paige was our contact person- she was helpful and on point with making sure we had everything we needed for our big day! The food was incredible. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the passed and stationary appetizers and dinners. They made our wedding day absolutely amazing!

The sunflowers were beautiful but there were only about a dozen or so vendors. Certainly not worth the $13 entrance fee. A big disappointment. My friend and I will probably not do this event again.

An amazing market and store with lots of locally made goods. The deli and bakery items are absolutely delicious and the prices are great! The restaurant is delicious and the food is fresh. The corn maze, pumpkin patch, and other fall activities that Ard’s Farm Market puts on every year are wonderful and a great day spent with the family!

Tried to eat here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We were told we could not be seated… at all. I could understand if the place was bursting at the seams, but it was pretty empty. Never coming back.

Since first trying the orchard fruit pie from Ars's some years ago, it's become our model for the perfect pie. So many times we've told friends that they need to check this place out just for that pie.I went back to Ars's for the first time since the pandemic and I was saddened to learn that they no longer regularly make pies. In fact, the whole store looked different, much more like a foodie gift shop, then a farm market. I did buy a nice big bag of bird seed at a reasonable price, but otherwise nothing appealed to me and nothing seemed special. Please bring back the pies!

The most fall fun our family has had in some time! There are plenty of things to do for kids of all ages (from 1-101 and then some). We enjoyed the hayride first, let the kids find the " biggest" pumpkins in the patch. After the treasurs were safely stowed away, we entered the giant maze. So much fun! Afterwards, there were all these neat activities for the kiddos to enjoy: sliding down maze mountain, fossil digging, punchin' pumpkin race, corn cannon, pumpkin cannon, feeding the animals, zip line, play ground,... not a chance for them to sit still - everywhere they turned there was something else to discover.Once we tried all the activities at least once, we went to the on-site restaurant. The little tummies we're hungry and the food was plenty. Not only is there an all-you- can-eat salad bar, but also everything on the menu is delicious. Between our family we had a good crosscut of the menu, from burgers to fish, chicken pot pie, and Italian portabello mushroom caps. We all enjoyed our entrees and desserts! After meeting the owner and giving our compliments to the chef we toured the shop and found some goodies for later. Finally we had to go home after a fun filled time at Ard's farm. We are definitely coming back here.

What a pleasant surprise and experience in beautiful Pennsylvania! The staff and events were fantastic for adults and kids. And everything is handled well concerning COVID. Just a great fun day out on the farm...

I love this place! Locally owned and operated, it serves great farm-fresh meals, as well as offers a market with a great selection of products. Plus the farm has animals and host many activities!

Ard’s Farm catered our wedding at the Cypress House recently and we could not be happier! They were incredibly easy to work with and super responsive. They have a wide selection of delicious foods to choose from. They have a range of price points to fit your budget. In addition to the appetizers, dinner and late night food for the reception, Ard’s also catered our bridal party lunch, which was delicious and made sure no one went hungry on our wedding day. The foods were awesome, the bacon bar was empty by the end of cocktail hour. They also were our bar service and kept up with a 175 person wedding. We are so appreciative of their work and would highly recommend them!

I first attended a tasting years prior to my wedding at an expo located at Whispering Oaks and knew immediately I wanted Ard's to cater our wedding. Fast forward to our first tasting at Ards. We were sat down at a table and then completely ignored. After leaving the eating area they have linen rentals as well as their other rentals displayed for your viewing. I mosied around and still nobody approached me. Finally I walked up to who I now know as Kyle and started to ask her questions. Mind you the entire time she walked around to each table at the tasting except for mine. Telling them about the foods, rentals ect. That left a bad taste in my mouth but whatever, I loved the food and I proceeded to order and plan for the event. I had to reschedule my wedding from May to August, fortunately they were easy to work with being that my wedding was on a Wednesday. Very grateful for that. Finally, to the day of the wedding. Catering arrives and I'm immediately told my by event coordinator that Kyle was extremely rude to ber. One event in the days schedule was no longer happening but it had no affect on caterings schedule. There was no reason for her to have given her a hard time. I believed my coordinator immediately because that's how myself and my family were treated at the tasting. I absolutely love Ard's but I believe that the face of the catering dept is more concerned with how much money can be made, not the people depending on their services. I believe because my wedding was only around 35 people it wasn't a big enough money maker compared to the larger weddings they cater. I was treated like I was less than and the day of my wedding she showed up with the same attitude. I actually had guests ask me who the woman with the miserable face was and I had to reply that was the cater. I highly recommend Ards food although it is extremely pricey. The employees are always great but Kyle has a serious attitude problem. My wedding was three weeks ago and I wasn't going to write this but it's been weighing on my heart heavily and I feel that I deserved better. I also thought others should be aware in the future! If you're getting that vibe from her, PLEASE go to a different place where you and your money are appreciated and respected.

Ard's Farm catered my wedding in October. While the food was amazing and the day of went perfect that was only the cherry on top. The real reason you should hire Ard's Farm for your next catering event was the amazing planning and accommodating service they provided. Kyle made my life as a bride-to-be as easy as it could have been with taste testing's and meetings to determine linens and decoration rentals. I'd also like to mention that they were able to cook 80 steaks off site and deliver to my venue and the steaks were absolutely perfect. Thank you for being apart of making my big day perfect!

HIGHLY recommend for catering!! Ard’s just catered my sister-in-laws wedding that I helped coordinate on 7/22/2023. They were simply incredible. The planning was straight forward with frequent and professional communication. The set up was seamless and they made the venue look gorgeous. We even forgot to order napkins and they were able to provide 200 napkins last minute that made the whole set up pop beautifully. The food was nicely presented and was absolutely delicious. The drinks flowed quickly even though there were just 2 bars for 200 people. The caterer is the backbone of a good wedding, and Ard’s held up without question. 10/10 would recommend!
