DO NOT DO THE HAYRIDE/BONFIRE! They tried to leave us stranded in the field. Had to call 9-1-1 to get them to comply. This was a totally unsafe event for Girl Scouts. Staff was rude and told us not to come back. Good thing I have no desire to. Response 6:38am 10/20/18 I have no desire to speak with you after the way I was spoken to by you last night. As for your warm fire, there was a pile of scrap wood with rusty nails sticking out of it that we had to keep the children from. There was no attendant from your staff monitoring the fire. I and one of the other fathers took it upon ourselves to put more wood on the fire when it was going out. Finally, yes I did call 9-1-1.

Yes, we were all out of your parking lot by 9:45, but if things had gone your way, we would have been waiting by that fire until 10:30 at least. You were ill equipped to handle an event of this size.

We also prefer to let the fire burn down a bit as it’s safer for little ones roasting marshmallows. The field is huge with lots of room for running and playing games far away from the fire; there’s a portable restroom available, and a couple of picnic tables. Our girls love it. Thank you, Bob and staff, for always welcoming us and we’ll be...
Read moreI haven’t been yet this year (will be going again this upcoming weekend) but I LOVE this farm. All the workers are extremely nice and the hayride is cute and usually isn’t crowded. While I do go apple picking and such at Linvilla, I only come to sugartown strawberries for my pumpkin picking! It’s a lot smaller than the other widely known places so it’s perfect! I always get great pumpkins for a reasonable price and they also have a cute little shop as well. It is cash only so make sure to stop at an ATM before visiting!
Edited: hayrides are $3 adults, $1 for kids. Pumpkins are...
