Celebrating 33 years

of our Pumpkin/Hayride Program!!

 

Open Daily During October 10am - 6 pm

                   

 

We'd like to remind you of our farm's Pumpkin/Hayride Program planned especially for children ages 3-7.  We can accommodate any size group over the minimum of 15. We have covers for our wagons in case of rain.

2010 PRICES

	Dates	Per Person	15 Person Minimum
Weekdays - Early Bird Special	September 27th - October 8th	$5.75	$86.25
Weekdays	October 12th - October 29th	$6.00	$90.00
Weekends & Columbus Day		$8.00	$120.00

We schedule private groups of 15 or more each week-day during October for a 45 minute to 1 hour tour of our farm that includes:

1. A tractor-drawn-hay-wagon ride around the farm, including fields of pumpkins and gourds. The ride will also pass through our “Spook-Barn” (only slightly spooky!).
2. A small sugar pumpkin chosen by each child. These are just the right size for this age group and are perfect for painting, carving or cooking.  Special Note:  For the children's safety we pre-pick the sugar pumpkins and have a designated area for them to choose from after their hayride.  This protects the children from tripping over vines, navigating through the fields (which can be difficult for young children, and dropping their pumpkins while embarking and disembarking from the wagon.
3. Our homemade mini cider donut and cup of cider.
4. An activity/coloring booklet for each child to take home, reinforcing things seen and done on the farm.
5. Also, available for use by teachers are storyboards illustrating how pumpkins grow from seed to fruit.
6. We will again feature Spookley the Square Pumpkin! This is a great lesson on how diverse and special we all are! The storybook, or DVD, with lesson plans are available for an additional fee and may be obtained prior to your visit to the farm.
7. A cornstalk maze for the children to go through.

 

If you feel “your” children could benefit from an on-farm experience such as this, please call us to reserve a time.
