Chandler and I went on a pumpkin donut tasting adventure to GreenBluff last week. It’s harvest festival time on the bluff and as always, it did not disappoint. As you might imagine, the pumpkin donuts were super tasty as well!
Although life is altered because of Covid, I was so happy to see the farms adapting and operating as best as they can during such a difficult time. I can tell you, crisp fall air, pumpkins, apples, and harvest treats are quite a spirit lifter!
We limited our stops to the farms serving pumpkin donuts. Because of Covid, some of the farms weren’t offering them this year, but we found five farms that were and they were delicious!
It was a tough job, but since it was a donut tasting, we ranked each stop on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Here are the results:
- Walters: 5/10
- Hidden Acres: 8/10
- High Country 9/10
- Sunset Orchard: 9/10
- Harvest House 10/10
As you can see, the Harvest House donuts were our favorite and they may be so good at making them because they are the original farm to sell them on the bluff and have been making them for the longest amount of time. There were several close contenders though!
I should also mention that Big Barn Brewing sells gluten free pumpkin donuts most weekends during harvest festival but they weren’t selling them the day we visited.
Siemer’s usually sells pumpkin donuts during harvest festival but is closed this year due to Covid.
Wellen’s also usually sells pumpkin donuts during harvest festival but isn’t offering them this year due to Covid. However, their antiques shop was open when we stopped by and they were selling apples and pears.

IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
