Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on weekends, especially during peak fall season, to enjoy the hayrides and other popular free activities before they become crowded.
  • Check the pumpkin catalog online before your visit to get an idea of the varieties available and their typical sizes, helping you choose the perfect pumpkin.
  • Bring cash, credit, or debit cards for purchases, as SNAP is not accepted. This ensures a smooth checkout process for pumpkins and other farm goods.
  • Consider visiting on a weekday if possible for a more relaxed experience, especially if you plan to participate in educational presentations or want more space for children to play.
  • Pack a picnic to enjoy in their designated picnic areas, as food options beyond farm stand produce may be limited, allowing for a full day of family fun.
