My husband and I had been going to Schacht for the past 14 years. We are both from rural towns and it was the perfect place to go as it wasn't one of the crazy pumpkin patches, but just what we wanted: simply a place to pick pumpkins.

It wouldn't matter if you have the absolute best products on the market with very competitive prices, if you cannot be kind, cordial and respectful to your customers , who faithfully supports your business, then YOU DON'T NEED A BUSINESS.
