Thete as ZERO food. ZERO water or other aily drinks to buy. just alcohol on a hot day with kids? there was no face painting when we arrived before 4:00 PM and the only kids activities were a coloring page!!!! Pathetic. A local playground has more to offer. they say they have a slide- no one can find it. Their " playground" consists of old farm tubing put up on nails of straw. (mind you the kids can climb to the top of the straw and then want to jump off the top because there are no safety ropes. I get they want our money. Driving here and back to have unhappy kids after they were promised a strawberry festival and there wasn't even a strawberry in sight to even feed the kids. COMPLETE SCAM. Avoid like the lie they have become here!!! Next time go to Abbot's or other fruit farms they have real activities for kid, foods, restaurants, and they ALWAYS HAVE WATER to buy. NEVER AGAIN!

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!

It's really fun to go here for events outside of the Fall pumpkin season. Today's event was "Baby…read moreAnimal Day" Lots of stations with baby animals and areas with the adult animals too. Pony rides, apple cannons, wagon ride and lots of fun food items. A few nice play areas for the kids. In the main building homemade cookies and donuts, special drinks. The weather was perfect. They have a very cute gift shop with all kinds of souvenirs and jams and other food items.

It was a limited ticketed event so it was not even close to as crowded as it gets in the fall. There were adorable kittens, baby goats, piglets, ducklings, puppies, bunnies, cows, ponies, and other animals! We got to shoot the Apple cannon and jump on the new jumping pad. My kids had an absolutely amazing time and so did I!

We did the hay ride, bounce pad, corn maze, and checked out the farm animals. The hay ride was beautiful, lots of fall foliage and a great view of the huge pumpkin patch. We also got to see the pumpkin cannon launch a pumpkin while on the hay ride which was my kids' favorite! The apple fritters were delicious, and so was the apple slushy I tried. It was crowded but not nearly as long of wait times and crowds as other nearby pumpkin patches. We will come here again for sure!

There was so much to do and so many pumpkins to choose from! You can use cash and card; when you have your final picks you can bring your wheelbarrow to a nice man in the field who counts up your total. We had a great time getting lost in the corn maze, riding the hayride, looking through goodies at the store and eating pumpkin cream cheese cookies! I would say this experience is priced fairly for what you get; be prepared to spend some money but know the quality of your experience and pumpkins will be HIGH!! Hope you have a fun time at the Pumpkin Hollow- I sure did!

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).

My only suggestion is that they try to clean the place up a little! They could make a killing if they just fixed their signage ( which needs some serious updating , even the signs on the backroads are faded and hard to see!) The photo op area is off to the side surround by weeds and just looks like a real mess - which is what I think keeps people and families away. I know it's a small family business but this is something that can be worked on in the off season. Just these little tweaks to your business could really bring in a crowd. Unless that's what you're trying to avoid- which I also understand . They also need to work on their social media page- especially Instagram. Things are often misspelled , the number of years they have been open often changes, or the odd pictures of the older son with his shirt off is kind of weird to me , especially on a pumpkin farm page. But just thought I'd give my 2 cents. Otherwise, I can't wait to stop up and get some pumpkins and mums!
