"They are a fairly small orchard with mainly apple and peach trees. They
grow raspberries and strawberries seasonally and do have a limited amount of
pumpkins in October. The owners are very nice and have a large garden area,
a sand climbing hill, hay bale mound, corn maize, and tricycle track for the
kids. I'm sure they will be adding more and I could be forgetting something
but we've had a good time with my family there both in May for Strawberries
and late summer for Apples and Peaches! They were all AMAZING by the way!!"

appetite grab a snack from one of the many delicious eateries, choose from
The Pumpkin Cafe, The Roca Smoke House, Frankie\'s Funnel Cakes, or The
Donut Hut. Whatever you do make sure you grab a bag of their wonderful
kettle corn made fresh daily. At night the farm transforms into the Roca
