The Pumpkin Patch
The Pumpkin Patch is open for You-Pick pumpkins in October. Join us on the weekends for a hayride through the patch, hot chocolate, hot cider, face painting, and other fun activities.

Just remember that while pumpkins have handles that they really are stems. Until you have your pumpkin carved please don't carry it by the stem (handle) as it may break off leaving your Jack O'Lantern without a handle.

Pumpkins, Squash, and Gourds
