What visitors say
This farm offers a variety of pumpkins for sale, particularly around Halloween, and generally receives praise for the quality and selection available. Beyond pumpkins, visitors can enjoy a corn maze and other seasonal activities, especially geared towards children. Some reviewers find the additional costs for activities like the play area or corn maze a bit high, and a few mention the cleanliness of the indoor play area could be improved. Overall, the farm is considered a fun place for families, with friendly staff and helpful advice. However, some found a lack of professional organization and unappealing plucking garden and golf. Additionally, some reviewers noted that the potatoes were expensive and small. One thing to note is that the farm only accepts cash.
