“Very nice staff. Plenty of parking. Looking for an adventure for a couple hours. I recommend this little pumpkin patch farm. They have a hay maze, pumpkins and more pumpkins to choose from, sunflower/tree field, tractor, goats, pigs, and birds to feed, $30 Julian's pies, little trinkets to purchase, hay bail ride, colorful Christmas trees, etc. Best part might be the mist the spread over the maze and picnic area. So refreshing for hot days! $6 entry which I think is silly considering its a field you just walk around. Not a fan of the no food or amount of activities. But hey I still had fun.”

“Such a great family experience! My toddlers had a blast! We enjoyed the little farm (pigs, goats, chickens and ducks), hay ride, hay maze scavenger hunt, the photo ops and the great variety of pumpkins! And without breaking my wallet! I love that we supported a local family owned business as well. This is their first year doing the pumpkin patch, but they have really thought everything out. Well organized and run by such nice and friendly people. We are definitely coming back again next year!”

“Such a nice farm! We visited during pumpkin season and there were many good looking ones to choose from, it was hard to decide. They have other cute seasonal items for purchase as well. My kids loved the scavenger hunt in the hay maze. It was fun to watch the animals in the petting zoo and they looked healthy. We will definitely come back next year!”

“This is our second year visiting this pumpkin patch. Entry is $6. Free hay ride. They added more this year to enjoy. You can also cut your own sunflower stem for $2. They have a pet feeding section. My toddler had so much fun just running around. Sunset time is beautiful! Definitely plan to visit this season. Staff is also always to friendly.”

“Have known of and always liked this place since I was a kid, to both of their pumpkin patch and to get christmas trees. Have recently gone for the last 2 years with my wife and daughter. The people are all super friendly and helpful. A dog friendly place too. Be sure to visit the goats and chickens before leaving.!”

“Great place to take the grandkids to a pumpkin patch! The hayride and seeing the animals are free. The maze costs money but is well worth it to provide our 4-year-old grandson time to run around with grandpa. Everyone that was working was very friendly and helpful - it was a great family night!”

“Great place to visit, free admission and hay rides. The hay bale maze was $7 per person and my grandson had a great time doing the scavenger hunt. Great place to take the family. Very friendly staff. Kids loved seeing the pigs and goats. Stop by and get a pumpkin”

“December 2024: quaint little Christmas tree farm, roughly same price as other common locations. Great customer service, tons of selection and a mini zoo thingy”
