  A visitor writes on October 17, 2009: "I was on the search for a TRUE pick your own pumpkin patch. We are relatively new to MN and have been to "patches" where the venue has placed the pumpkins in an open field. I saw the description of Dimler Pumpkin Patch which triggered my memories of pumpkin picking as a child in PA. As soon as we drove up to Dimler, I felt like a child again. Our three year old son had a blast walking through the mud/dirt to find pumpkins still attached to their vines. A huge parcel of land with tons of pumpkins and gourds. We found 5 beautiful pumpkins of varying shapes, colors and sizes. It was not crowded and our experience was exactly as I wished. No fancy building of gimmicks and overpriced anything. Dimler's worked on an honor system with a box placed at the entrance. In this day and age something unheard of which just solidified that some things still do exist for the fun and love of it for relatively little money and without the fanfare and commercial tie-ins. 5 stars for Dimler Pumpkin Patch. We will be back next year for sure!!"

Our mission is to provide a refreshing and memorable outdoor experience for families, friends and organizations. We hope you will enjoy the peace that comes with the fresh air of a crisp fall day. Montgomery Orchard bloomed in the mind of owner, Scott Wardell, and transcended into reality when the first section of apple orchard, Orchard A, was planted in 1999. Since then, thanks to the help of many, Scott and his family have now expanded the orchard nearly six-fold, adding on a new segment designated by another letter every year. Aside from Orcharding, the rest of Scott and Barb\'s farm land is dedicated to the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) including the growth of variouis hardwood and evergreen trees and prairie restoration. It is now the mission of Scott and his family to deliver the joy and experience of taking part in the most beautiful parts of nature to their guests. When the summer comes to a close, our arms are open to all that will come. (Suggested by a visitor, ADDED: April 07, 2011)

  A visitor writes on October 15, 2009: "We have gone there the last three years, and have mostly enjoyed it. After you pay $5.00 per person to get in, the scarecrow display is cute, but not overly impressive. Most of the other activities are for younger children (tractor trykes that pedal in a circle, slides, etc) and besides the ponies that walk in a circle, the only other animal is a big sad looking camel (the ponies and the camel cost extra). The hay pile for jumping has been fun, but my kids get bored of it quickly. The pumpkins are expensive, the restaurant is expensive too. We will find another patch this year. It would be nice to have a hay maze or a petting zoo, and hopefully one not as expensive for its activities or pumpkins."
  Comments: One visitor wrote in October 5, 2007: "I took my family to emma krumbee and I will never do it again i had to pay 16dollars for my family for nothing and everythiing was so expensive the apples were out ragously priced and there was nothing to do for the money I paid and the pumpkins cost to much"
  A visitor writes on September 20, 2008: "I would agree that Emma Krumbees DOES have high prices and seems to "nickel & dime" people. They have a reputation of being expensive. I would suggest going somewhere else for lower prices & an equal amount of fun."
  A visitor writes on October 01, 2008: "Emma Krumbees charges $5 per person for entrance to the annual Scarecrow Festival, which includes a little homemade kiddie train, mountain of hay to climb on, free kids music, off-road trikes, a slide built into a hill, some new climbing sets for the kids, a free but very brief wagon ride to the pumpkin patch, and some animals. Things you pay extra for: pony rides, camel rides, purchasing pumpkins, apples, strawberries, gourds, etc. They also have a great gift shop and a bakery. The restaurant on the other side of the orchard is very popular and can get pretty busy, but we've always enjoyed it. Last weekend was our 4th annual family trip to Emma Krumbees, and we had a great time! I definitely recommend it to anyone with kids - especially those who like to play outside. "
  A visitor writes on October 11, 2008: "My husband and I went to Emma Krumbees yesterday and were very disappointed. I had heard from others including my husband how cool the Scarecrow Festival is, so we headed over there after having fun at the Minnesota Harvest (which btw I do recommend). We arrived about 5:30ish and they close at 6pm. I decided to pay the $5 per person to go in and check out the scarecrows since I thought they would be impressive. Maybe a handful were creative. Never again, they didn't have many and a lot of them were repeats. I have never seen so many Michael Phelps in my life... Plus my husband is wheelchair bound so we were not able to go ride through the Orchard, the lady said she would check for us and but didn't get back with us. Everything was kid oriented but since we do not have kids it was a total waste of $10.... I thought I better warn all before paying $5 per person for the Scarecrow Festival. "
