Sam's Pumpkin Patch — Local services in Violet Township

My husband and I have gone to this patch for the last 3 years. We haven’t had issues until this year. The woman who was running the patch on Sunday, October 6th really showed her true face! She made some very interesting comments toward my 3-month old son. She commented on his coloring. My son is a biracial child. In what world is it appropriate to talk about somebody’s “coloring”??

Plentiful free parking, little pull wagons to hold your pumpkins. They sell some flowers and local honey. Little pumpkins are $0.50-$1, medium large pumpkins $5-10, huge pumpkins go up to $30. Very affordable and great selection. Owners very nice also,...
