“Such a nice local farm! We had an amazing time, it has everything to enjoy a nice fall day. Their entrance fee & food prices are very economic and don’t break the bank. We took a hay ride to their pumpkin patch and walked back through the field to see all the huge pumpkins. They have a kernel pit that our kids enjoyed and it wasn’t crowded. They loved the huge slide and all the play areas. Their haunted maze looked fun but we didn’t have time to try it. & it’s pet friendly. Wish we would’ve known about this farm sooner, we will definitely be back next year to see their flower field!”

“Absolutely beautiful, sunflowers were stunning very well maintained field. The zinnias were as far as eye could see. This field was one of the best I have been to in years, staff was incredibly friendly. I picked 2 sunflowers to take home so big and beautiful. Pictures truly dont do this place justice. Highly recommend seeing the field of beauty before they are gone for season.”

“We had so much fun! We need to plan more time this year and go this month (September). Last year, we went in October so we missed the flowers. Love that it is dog friendly because my doodle had the absolute best time playing! As a childfree family we finally felt included in the fall rituals of going to the pumpkin patch and doing all the activities!!”

“Such a fun and adorable experience for kids of all ages. We brought our 2 year old for the second year in a row. Plenty of playgrounds to climb on and burn energy. Several animals, even a cow! Wide variety of pumpkins available at the gate as well as in the patch just an enjoyable tractor ride away.”

“Beautiful and HUGE! They have sections that range the different stages of blooms. The staff were friendly and lovely! Overall such a great place to spend with family. It wasn't busy at the 5pm slot. I would recommend to stay till sunset. I'll be back next year 💛”

“Usually a fall family tradition, and ALWAYS a great time! We just returned from the Sunflower event. It's beautiful. Try to get there before it ends early September. Also, we tried the apple donuts and they were amazing!”

“We had so much fun this was a great time for the family!! But the food was HORRIBLE... we had lunch at 12:30 and they were out of SO MUCH and then what they did have was really bad either soggy or hard a rock :-( it was very disappointing considering the cost of the food!! I suggest bringing in your own food because the rest of the experience was wonderful!!”
