“We’ve been bringing our toddlers here for the past three years. It’s a small, uncrowded pumpkin patch—perfect for toddlers and young children. It’s not overstimulating, which makes it great for families who just want to take some photos and pick pumpkins with ease. It’s a bit hidden off the side of the highway, more like an off-road pumpkin stand, but that’s part of its charm. You only pay for the pumpkins or the donuts they offer. The girls working there are always friendly and sweet.”
“A very beautiful place to take your family, and really puts you in the Fall/Halloween mood! My children had a great time during their pumpkin picking, loved taking pictures with the spooky props, and their favorite part was interacting with the animals. Just be careful with that apple tree as it drops it's apples! A beautiful sight on the farm nonetheless.”
“Great roadside pumpkin patch. Everything is very organized and easy to find. The guy at the register even suggested these beautiful Long Island Cheese Pumpkins when I asked him about the sugar pumpkins and I can't wait to try them! All three pumpkins pictured only cost us $34 and the large one is quite heavy! Would definitely come again for pumpkins.”
“I’ve been coming to this pumpkin patch ever since I was a kid and it’s changed quite a bit but very updated with current times. I really love the giant skeleton and all the photo opportunities. The pumpkins are reasonably priced and very big in some cases. They even had some mums and gourds.”
“My family loves this place! Conveniently right off of 17, you truly feel like you are in the country. High selection, great prices, great staff, & an overall happy experience every Halloween season! Can’t wait to get get back here this fall. This place is a must!!”
