The Best Apple Cider Donuts in Idaho Comes From This Farm

There is something magical about the fall. It could be the pumpkin patches and corn mazes for playing and exploring. It might even be the cooler weather and the vibrant fall foliage. But, if you ask me, it’s the seasonal food. While pumpkin spice hits the shelves this time of the year, nothing quite compares to the food you’ll find at some of the most charming remote pumpkin patches and farms, especially Lowe Family Farmstead in Kuna.

Lowe Family Farmstead is one of the best fall attractions in Idaho and is located at 2500 South Eagle Road in Kuna. While it has certainly been delighting locals for more than two decades, Lowe Family Farmstead has also been recognized by numerous national, regional, and local media outlets and publications.

Fall is our favorite time of the year to visit Lowe Family Farmstead as there are activities for all ages — it truly is the perfect fall day trip destination. Of course, you can visit the pumpkin patch or keep busy with the many attractions including the MAiZE, hayrides, jumping pillows, various train rides, farm animals, and even a ropes course.

If you visit in September, you can also stop and smell the flowers. Lowe Family Farmstead offers a u-pick flower field where you’ll find more than 4 acres of flowers including 20 varieties of sunflowers and four varieties of zinnias.

However, one of the things that sets this fall destination apart from many others is its food. There are several food booths at this farm where you can find a little bit of everything. For example, there is the 15 Mile Kitchen, home to delicious burgers, sandwiches, hand-dipped corn dogs, and French fries.

Grab a slice of pizza at Pitchfork Pizza or a smoked turkey leg at the Smokehouse. There are also cookies and churros if you are craving something sweet.

Although, if you are in the mood for autumn flavors, head to the Orchard Stop. This food booth is where you will find some of the best autumn treats around including apple cider donuts that are so good you won’t be able to stop at just one.

There’s also hot, fresh cider, souvenir cider, and even an epic orchard apple freeze. Believe us when we say that you may want to come back to this Kuna farm just for the food. Keep in mind, however, that not all food booths will be open at all times.

Lowe Family Farmstead is open every Monday through Saturday from September 14 to October 30, 2024. If you want to avoid the crowds, plan to visit on a Monday through Thursday evening or on a weekend in September. The busiest days are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in October. You can also receive discounted rates every Tuesday night.
