A visitor writes on October 06, 2009: "This is
a very friendly and safe place for kids and families. My college
friends love to go out there and pick the biggest pumpkin (which
they can't carry alone). With 10 acres of land there are several
varieties to choose from. When you choose your favorite(s) (its
hard to pick only one) they weigh it on an antique looking scale
and I believe they take credit cards but I'm not positive. After
that you can try your luck on the Mini Pumpkin slingshot. Its
lots of fun and much better quality than stores in town.
You can pick your favorite pumpkin right out of the patch. For
folks that want more pumpkins than can be carried, there are
wagons available. There is also a person available with a
4-wheeler and wagon to bring in the extra large ones! THINGS TO
SEE: Tepee, Windmill, Maze, Wagon Ride, Hay Bales, Mini Pumpkin
slingshot, Picture Opportunities! Tours for School & Church
groups. "
