Tucked just outside the bustle of everyday life, Blooms & Berries Farm Market and Garden Center in Loveland is the kind of place that instantly slows you down—in the best way.
What started in 1999 as a small strawberry patch and greenhouse has grown into one of the most beloved farm destinations in the Greater Cincinnati area. Founded by Cathy and David Probst, the farm began with a simple goal: to work the earth, raise a family with strong values, and share that experience with the community.
Today, that same spirit is still at the heart of everything they do.
A Farm Built on Family and Tradition
Blooms & Berries is more than just a market—it’s a multi-generational story. From planting thousands of strawberry plants in the early days to growing into a full agritourism destination, the farm has evolved while staying true to its roots. Now led by Cathy, her son Jeff, and daughter-in-law Emily, the farm continues to expand while the next generation is already learning the rhythms of farm life
It’s this sense of continuity that makes every visit feel personal. You’re not just stopping by a business—you’re stepping into a place built with intention and care.
The Market Barn & Garden Center
At the heart of the property is the Market Barn & Garden Center, where visitors can browse a thoughtfully curated selection of seasonal plants, fresh produce, and locally loved goods. Whether you’re picking out flowers for your front porch, grabbing fresh ingredients for the week, or simply wandering through for inspiration, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
U-Pick: A Hands-On Farm Experience
One of the most memorable parts of visiting Blooms & Berries is the opportunity to experience the farm firsthand through their u-pick offerings. Throughout the growing season, guests can head into the fields and pick their own produce—starting with strawberries in late spring, followed by blueberries, blackberries, and more as the season unfolds. It’s a simple concept, but one that creates lasting memories.
There’s something special about walking the rows, finding the perfect fruit, and knowing it was picked just moments before you take it home. It’s a connection to the land that you just don’t get anywhere else—and a big reason why so many families make it part of their yearly traditions.
Play Yard & Petting Farm: Where Memories Are Made
For families, one of the highlights of visiting Blooms & Berries is the Play Yard and Petting Farm. The Farm is home to one of the most beloved petting farms near Cincinnati — where kids can feed, meet, and fall in love with over 40 farm animals, zoom down a giant slide, tackle a low ropes course, and play all day long. It’s not just a stop, it’s an experience that keeps people coming back season after season.
More Than a Market
Blooms & Berries has become something bigger than a farm market—it’s a cornerstone of the community. A place where traditions are started, weekends are spent, and simple moments turn into lasting memories. It’s where you go for fresh flowers… and end up staying longer than you planned. Where seasons feel more meaningful, and life feels just a little more connected. And in a world that moves fast, places like this matter more than ever.
Planning a visit? It’s well worth the drive—especially this time of year.
