History
Established in 1992.
Philip bought the farm and always dreamed of having a pumpkin farm with people coming to visit with their families. Over the past 25 years, Philip married Mary that implemented a educational program so children would learn where their food is grown. Over the years, Philip expanded the activities for simple family fun and updated the barn with a classroom and veranda café, rest rooms, gazebo, parking lot, admission booth (the old milk house), fencing and more animals (llamas/alpacas). We are now working on our second generation of family members. And we enjoy sharing our simpler world with others.

We enjoy seeing families go back to a world where a cell phone is not required... Going on a hay ride, solving the clues through out the maze,
simple games, simple snacks, sit under the veranda and relax. Listen to the quiet and experience open space and trees.
