Questions? We've got answers.

Do I need to bring cash?

We accept cash and card. On weekends many ticket booths around the farm are cash-only, so bring some along. There is an ATM on site.

How much does admission cost?

Admission and parking are free! You pay for pumpkins and activity tickets as you go. Tickets are $1 each and each activity takes one or more.

How much are pumpkins?

Pumpkins are 65¢ per pound. Jack-o’-lanterns run $5–20+, depending on which one you take home.

What is open on weekdays?

The farm is open daily, but carnival rides only run on weekends when their qualified operators are here. On weekdays a $7 wristband per child covers a pie pumpkin, one animal feed and all the play areas.

Do adults need tickets?

Parents don’t need tickets to join their kids on the “farm” activities, but do need tickets for mechanical rides and the Wild Things slide. Some rides have restrictions.

Are pets allowed?

Of course! Please keep furry friends leashed and clean up after them.

Can I bring food and drinks?

Yes. Pack a lunch or extra water. We do not allow alcohol on the premises.

Is the farm wheelchair accessible?

We have handicap parking and rock areas, but the farm is mostly dirt, so we are not officially accessible. Many guests visit in wheelchairs each year. Call us and we’ll talk you through it.

Can I book a birthday party?

Birthday parties are available on weekends in October only. Call or email us for details.

About the farm

From generation to generation

For nearly 100 years our family has farmed the same soil, watching our crops and our community grow side by side. We’re best known for pumpkins, but our fields also grow horseradish and corn, the crops that have sustained the farm for decades.

About 45 years ago we started selling pumpkins straight off the wagons. That simple idea grew into a full fall festival with rides, music, good food and plenty of memories. Thank you for helping us keep local farming alive and thriving.
