Myers Pumpkin Patch & Greenhouses — Attraction in Bulls Gap

Cop and pasted from my Facebook…

WORST TREATMENT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AT A PLACE OF BUSINESS. We came on a field trip today with my daughter’s pre-k class. The moment we get there I’m carrying my two year old up to PAY for him, myself, husband, and mom. THE OWNER rudely snaps at me asking if siblings were allowed. I’m confused, answer yes, shake it off, and PAY because we all have bad days. I get it. Fast forward to the hay ride. The class goes and sits to learn about pumpkins and pick one small one per student. Most of the parents are off to the side unable to hear the lady speaking, my family being a part unable to hear. It’s my daughter’s turn to pick so obviously my two year old follows and picks up one of the dozens of pumpkins on the ground. Obviously I know this is a place of business that SELLS PUMPKINS so I had every intention of paying for that pumpkin PLUS MORE to support this area who has recently suffered greatly from Hurricane Helene. We continue the hay ride and arrive back at the main area. The moment our feet touch the ground THE OWNER PHYSICALLY YANKS THE PUMPKIN FROM MY HUSBANDS HANDS saying we were told multiple, multiple times that siblings were not allowed to get a pumpkin. We never heard anyone say that but I was still prepared to pay for said pumpkin that my husband was holding. She gives it back, and is still basically scolding us and a TWO YEAR OLD over a $3 pumpkin. She goes back up to their pavilion and is talking about us to another worker so by this point I’ve had enough. I walk back up to return the pumpkin and tell her that I don’t appreciate how we’ve been treated and will never come back to this place. Her and the coworker (who was with us when picking the pumpkins and said nothing to us about it as I’m speaking to her to get on the trailer to complete the hay ride) talk about how people that come with siblings on field trips steal from them… EXCUSE ME, I’m not a thief. My mom is upset by this point and threatens a bad review. The owner did not like this and runs to tell our teacher that I’m not accepting her apology which was never said while I’m still talking to the worker that was with us picking pumpkins. (Said coworker takes full accountability because she could’ve prevented the drama. Appreciated but the damage is done) I’m physically shaking at this point and crying because this place of business was more worried about getting a negative review than making amends to PAYING customers. I excuse myself because I don’t want to ruin the rest of the trip for my daughter or class because I’m upset. Needless to say, I will not go back and neither will anyone that I talk to who is interested in the place. So Myers you can keep your $3 pumpkin, and I’ll keep the $100 I was planning...

Do not visit this pumpkin patch!! I went there on a school field trip with my kindergarten child. All the children picked out tiny pumpkins and some parents went to put them in their cars. All of a sudden a large woman started screaming at me telling me I was a thief because my 2 yr old was not entitled to a pumpkin. I asked her what I could pay her for it as my 2 yr old liked it. I gave her 3$ even though she demanded 2$. She then followed me all over the property and stood over my daughter and I as we ate lunch at a picnic table. We were quite uncomfortable and she was scaring my daughter, and when I asked her to give us some space she told us to leave and get off her property. She collected about 5 employees to escort my 5 yr old, my 2 yr. old, and myself to our car in the middle of the field trip. I was happy to leave, and I have no need to steal a 2$ pumpkin from a woman who needs her medicine adjusted. I have been there probably 10 times before with my other children and found the place boring and the staff rude. One time the place had invited mentally ill people for a field trip who were wandering around unsupervised among my son's preschool class and I had to avoid the front porch as one person was doing some inappropriate behaviors for a child to see. STAY AWAY...

The lady running this place not only yelled at my kids she made snarky comments about me under her breath she also was very bossy about where you're allowed to walk. We were paying customers who deserved respect but because we were not from the area we were given attitude and called newbies and called snotty. I just moved here and will never return and will make sure I inform people how she treats paying customers. I do have to say the corn maze was pretty cool and were super excited about it. Prices were fair except the prices of pumpkins. $20 for 1 pumpkin...
