The event was already fully booked, but I easily found tickets available for the next scheduled tour at 10 AM. We were fortunate enough to have Kate as our tour guide. She is awesome! We all loved the tour and the animals. This is a place with purpose and we look forward to telling our friends and family all about it. Kate told us about the plans for the future and expansion etc. We will also look forward to coming back again.

Nice pitstop while we were in the area!

There is absolutely nothing negative to ever say about Iron Kettle. I've been coming here since I…read morewas a kid and even though I'm out of the area my parents still live in Vestal and I make a point to get here every October. The farm is family run which is party of the charm. It's also been around forever it seems. It's the perfect fall family outing. There are barn yard animals the kids can feed, a corn maze, a very large selection of gourds and pumpkins, as well as a sort of country store filled with craft items, sweet treats, and seasonal décor. Food and drink can also be bought. There are also wagons to carry all your selections. The best thing about the farm, in my opinion, are the displays they put up every year. They show scenes from nursery rhymes and childhood stories all with pumpkins. And if that's not enough, it's all free (unless you choose you buy something, obviously).

Super cute spot to kick start your fall! We randomly found them last year on a fall drive along…read moreroutes 5&20, and had to go back this year again. They have all kinds of pumpkins (edible heirlooms and traditional orange in all shapes and sizes), plus gourds and minis, mums, corn stalks and hay bales, perfect for decorating (and GREAT prices, at $7 for a full-sized hay bale and $20 for 4 gorgeous heirloom pumpkins). Last year I bought 4 heirlooms and used them inside for my seasonal display and they lasted through winter, at which point I processed them all for soup! For families, they have games and play areas, a corn maze, a petting zoo, rides, and an apple blaster where you shoot apples at targets (more fun than it probably sounds!). The apple blaster is also perfect for a friendly competition between friends... Inside they have lots of fall themed decorations available for purchase, plus food that includes fresh apple cider donuts (available as singles, 6 packs and dozens) and local cider, coffee, hot cocoa, fresh popcorn, chili dogs and cookies. We ate a chili dog (good sized red hot with a nice meaty chili and red bean topping), pumpkin coffee, 6 donuts and popcorn while walking around picking our pumpkins, and were very pleased with the taste, portions and quality. This place will be on our list of must-dos for years to come! Definitely recommended!

I wanted to check it out, so on Monday as we were returning, we stopped. The big green barn has apples and other options available for purchase, but I heard one of the girls say they don't take credit card there, only up at the store. We went to the orchard and picked our own. Everything was well labeled and easy to navigate. I was disappointed to see that other pockets had left a lot of garbage in the orchard, everything from a empty bottles to dirty diapers. Who does that? I had never eaten a goldee before and really liked those. The empires were nice and crisp. Apple cider was a hit with my husband. I would definitely stop again if in the area.
