2007 SEASON
Pumpkin Patch opens Saturday, September 29th
Our team of Percherons will take you out to our Pumpkin
Patch, where you can find your perfect pumpkin. Take as
much time as you need searching the field and when you
find the pumpkin you desire, we will cut it off the stem
for you. The only rule is you must be able to carry out
your own pumpkin and load it onto the wagon. This rule
also applies to children.
The Pumpkin Patch is open
on Saturday's and Sunday's in October from 11am to 5pm.
We do accept appointments for schools, groups, and parties
during the week. Come enjoy the country for the day, whether
it be to just find your ideal pumpkin or to enjoy all our
farm has to offer, everyone of any age is welcome!
| Haunted
Maze: Every Friday & Saturday night in
October our maze is "haunted" by our live"spooks." You
may bring a flashlight, but it just makes you easier
prey for the ghosts & goblins. Come sit by the
bonfire and listen to the screams, before or after
you go through the maze. |
We have a wide variety of Fall Decorations for sale, along
with mini pumpkins and gourds. Come see all the great things
we have for you to choose from.
Petting Zoo: THIS YEAR'S
ANIMALS INCLUDE BABY GOATS, A LAMB, A CALF, AND BABY PIGS.
