Pumpkin Festival

October is when the farm starts to look a little more like the version of fall everyone has been waiting for. Pumpkins piled high, tractor rides looping around the orchard, something cinnamon-spiced coming out of the bakery, and plenty of reasons to stay awhile. 🎃
So for one weekend, we’re giving the pumpkin its proper celebration.
Join us October 10th – 11th for Pumpkin Festival, a weekend built around one of the most unmistakable signs of the season. Pick out a pumpkin to take home, put your creativity to work at pumpkin painting and carving, see how your find measures up in our smallest and largest pumpkin contest, and make a day of everything else happening around the farm.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Apple varieties, picking availability, activities, food specials, and times are subject to change.
The availability of our crops depends on two things we cannot fully predict: the weather and the crowd. Ripening shifts with the forecast, and a high-traffic day can clear a crop quickly. We will share updates on the status of our patches on social media. If you are traveling from a distance, please call ahead before you leave at 319.354.5651.
