“Tracy Hutchinson's rating can't be more wrong! The Braun's are wonderful people, and their pumpkin patch is a little slice of heaven! And they don't offer food at their pumpkin patch, so I don't really understand how the food can be terrible and over-rated. Tracy must be confused, and talking about another pumpkin patch. Hopefully, she realizes her error, and changes her post.”
“A great selection of pumpkins and gourds. Very well organized and easy to look through. And wonderful prices (better than anything I've seen in Lincoln)! We bought 6 pumpkins and quite a few unique gourds!”
“The Braun Family are the most awesome people ever....and they have pumpkins :) Love the pink ones!!! Thank you for all you do for the community!! 🎃”
“Local, great family and cheapest prices around. They also donate to charity each year. Way to go.”
“The worst pumpkin patch I have ever been to. Don't waste your time going here. The food is overrated, and too expensive. The owners are rude, and don't care about anyone who visits their property. It was an absolute waste of money. I will never go there again.”
