Update 2024: I've now been here for a couple of school field trips. It's informative and good fun for the kids.
Update 2023: review still valid.
It's a farm that sells pumpkins in the fall. The prices are fair and it's easy to find a pumpkin you want. There's farm animals, a couple of things for kids to check out, some photo opportunities, and a hay ride. We didn't have a chance to go on the hay ride, but I'm sure kids will like it. It might be worth it to bring a cart/wagon to wheel pumpkins back to your car if you have too many to carry, I didn't see any wagons there.

My son was still naughty but we were able to do the hayride and get in and out. Maybe next year he won't be naughty and he'll get to take...
Read moreSuch a great, cute place and have gone here in the past for pumpkins, etc. This year was surprised and disappointed to discover that there was a Republican event in back of the main sales barn using the same entrance and parking as pumpkin customers. As we were leaving, event patrons were filing in and being welcomed and directed by the Republican group’s people... we had trouble getting out of the lot with cars filing in and people with signs walking through to the rally.
