Went in the spring just after the fields were plowed.Great hunting here but you must leave them with the museum on site that also houses interesting WW II armaments from the Schrute Collection.
While in the area, be sure to visit the old Schep's Cheese Plant near Tunkhannock.
Manning's has a great ice cream shop on a dairy farm where you can pet a calf, while you eat your ice cream. I hope PA. hasn't shut it down.

Just returned from the trip of a lifetime celebrating retirement after 50 years of dedicated Postal Service with our stay at beetuiful Schrute Farms. Upon arrival Innkeeper Dwight had his faithful man-servant Mose whisk away our luggage as he gave us the much anticipated barn tour-all four sides! Unfortunately the interior was temporarily closed for extensive renovation. Dwight assured me that the moans and a sort of feeble bleating coming from inside the barn were simply the sounds of workers laboring hard to have the barn ready for the Fall Beet Pressing Spectacular. It was just as exciting as the brochure promised, and we`ll be back to see the transformation behind those heavily padlocked doors! Cocktail hour was warm and convivial as we sipped our Schrute Farms Private Reserve Red beet wine (a bronze medal at the Wayne County Fair!) and nibbled delicate prosciutto-wrapped beets. We were the only guests, apparently our good rate was due to a booking in the off-season (Nov to Sept).
We retired to the "Night-time" room, and we only hit our shins a few times before falling over our luggage and into bed.I now know what complete and total darkness looks like. Dark-very very dark. I must admit dressing that morning was a challenge, but how else would have discovered how nice my husband looks in my bedazzled teddy bear`n hearts sweatshirt and matching velor slacks?
A hearty breakfast of a beet and beet greens omelet with a side of beet bacon was washed down with bottomless glasses of beet juice. After feeling for our luggage and packing the car,
we bid a fond farewell to Dwight and Mose, but not before they surprised us with a gift of candid outhouse photos of the two of us! An absolutely enchanting stay, though do be careful of reckless drivers on the road out of Honesdale . As we pulled into the farm, we were nearly hit by several cars driving madly away.

Schrute Farms is by far the calmest place I've ever stayed at. Very calm. Oddly calm, actually. Disturbingly calm. But I must say I enjoyed the quiet sounds of beets growing. At least I think that's what the sound was.

Anyway, one thing you should be aware of. If you stroll the outskirts of the farm, behind the tall trees of the north end, you will notice something odd. A very large, wicker beet has been been constructed there. Truly odd, and a must-see.

In my brief, but strange, conversations with the farm owners & workers, there seems to be some sort of prepartion going on. I heard mumblings about some sort of winter solstice? I thought I heard the word sacrifice, though I did not hear the entire context. I'm sure it was innocent. The people there are lovely - they are always watching you - a testament to their great care of their guests.

It seems some secret event is being planned, a suprise I think. They seem very keen to have you EXTEND your stay on the farm. I'm sure they are just kind, lonely people who wish to show their hospitality. And as we all know, the beet industry is suffering badly now, what with beet subsidies being drastically cut back, and the anti-beet campaign on the internet. I'm sure they are just grateful for the company.

Still... there does appear to be a large fire pit under that giant wicker beet. I can't imagine why they'd burn something so fantasitc that must have taken great time & effort to construct. Did I mention the wicker beet is hollow & has ropes/pulleys that will raise things into it? Really interesting. You must see it!

I consider myself a hyper-skilled ping pong aficionado, and I didn't go to Schrute Farms for anything other than the beets and digging trenches, but let me tell you something this facility is the resort destination for ping pong fans. The instructors were challenging, self-righteous, and cold, yet their standards for excellence were bar none. Highly recommended!
