A visitor writes on October 15, 2011: "We visited the Granger pumpkin patch today and were very disappointed. We have been there several times in the past, but not for 5 years or so.In the past they had hay mazes, corn mazes, pumpkins that were decorated in costumes, a cute little store that you could browse in. Now all of that is gone. in place of the cute decorated pumpkins is a "haunted house", complete with obnoxious screaming sounds and bloody manequins. They have a hay stack pyramid, but watch out the slide has a nail petruding from the side. Also another thing is that you no longer get a free pumpkin with admission. I should of realized something was up when we were only the 4th car in the parking lot on a sunny Saturday in October! " - Jones Farms Fruit and Produce - pumpkin patch- already
