We decided to stop in after a visit to Blue Springs Caverns, and glad we did! Picked up some amazing produce...cucumbers, peppers, green beans, corn on the cob, and cantaloupe (just like grandpa used to grow...so sweet!) Loved that they offer popcorn and cider as you enter. Nice touch. We also bought caramel apples, sesame sticks, a variety of homemade breads (cinnamon bread great for toasting), and the cinnamon rolls were so soft and delicious warmed up! Took home some pumpkin butter, strawberry-rhubarb preserves, and blackberry butter...all very good, can’t pick a favorite. One unexpected find was their pickle barrel! We bought one to share/sample, and ended up buying 6 more. Wish they were closer so we could get more!! Will definitely stop back in when in area.

Our scout group spent the night here and had a fantastic time through their scout overnight program. The guides took them both on a "wild trek" through the caving and the boat tour. The boys loved the wild trek. It was definitely hard muddy work but worth it to see the joy on the kids faces. Next they did a demonstration of caving gear and really explained to the kids how people who really know what they are doing cave, as well as horror stories of how people with zero knowledge get themselves into trouble in caves. It was good for the boys to hear from the pros they respect what not to do and how important training is vs just heading into a cave by yourself with a flashlight and a prayer for safety. Next we did a boat tour which was super relaxing and we enjoyed. The caverns are beautiful and the guides do a good job making it fun. Afterward we saw pics of the rest of the cave and then headed to bed. Throughout the night, they had the concession stand open to keep the kids happy, and they have flush toilets/water for the campers. Breakfast was Arby's wraps and turnovers and lots of coffee--a nice surprise. I would absolutely recommend this trip for all groups. The staff were so passionate about sharing their love with the kids, but also impressing on them the absolute need for safety.

A Southern Indiana treat. Deep ravines, hills, thick forest, wildlife, great place to hike and take in some relaxing nature. Climb the old fire tower, awesome views from the top! A gravel road meanders through the thick under brush along the ridge. Nice day out.
