Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support, like boots, as the farm terrain can be uneven and prickly vines are present.
- Bring cash for the food truck and pumpkin purchase, as credit/debit cards are not accepted on-site.
- Arrive 15 minutes before your reserved time to ensure you board the hayride; late arrivals may miss their slot.
- Complete the online waiver before arriving to expedite the check-in process for everyone in your party.
- Consider bringing gardening gloves or a pocket knife to easily cut your chosen pumpkin from the vine.
