Eckert's Belleville Farm Autumn Harvest & Cider Celebration

About this adventure

Located just across the river in Belleville, Illinois, Eckert's Belleville Farm is the premier autumn agricultural destination for Greater St. Louis families. During Thanksgiving season, the farm offers fresh-pressed sweet apple cider demonstrations, delicious cider donuts, wagon rides around the orchard, petting corral animals, and a country store brimming with Thanksgiving pies and produce. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved and packed gravel walkways connect the Country Store, restaurant, and cider sheds; all-terrain strollers work best in open orchard rows. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Clean indoor family restrooms and comfortable nursing benches are located in the Country Store and farm restaurant. • Age Suitability: Perfect for infants, toddlers, young children, and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Outdoor farm air and open fields provide a relaxing, spacious environment; machinery sounds near the cider press are brief and easily bypassed.
