Chores would be great, but most people are interested in the Pumpkin Patch. There are few farms in the Inland Empire that let you pick your own pumpkin from the vine. This year our farm produced 16 pumpkin varieties on-site. Keep reading to see what your family will do when they visit the farm.
Pick Your Own Pumpkin
It sounds a lot easier than you think. There is more than an acre of vine ripening pumpkins. Which one do you choose? Is it for carving, eating, or decorating? Should it be BIG or small? Smooth, ribbed, or bumpy? Round or oblong? What color are you looking for: orange, red, yellow, green, white, or blue? Don’t worry, we have package deals if you find more than one perfect pumpkin.
Pumpkins are priced by size starting at $1
Pet the Baby Chicks
Not only can you hold and pet them, but they will eat from your hand. No one can resist the cuteness of a baby chick. They have the softest feathers when they are just hatched (first two weeks of October). For those that cannot resist their cuteness, you can even take one home. By Spring you will receive your own farm fresh eggs every morning.
Snap a Picture, or Two, or Three
Get your picture with the scarecrow. Or get your picture in front of our working antique tractor. Or better yet, get your picture in the pumpkin patch sitting on the straw bale in front of the corn. Our pumpkin patch has picture opportunities throughout; just remember to bring the camera to capture your Fall memories.
*Eat a Snack or Meal*
All this excitement is bound to make you hungry and thirsty. The farm has snacks, drinks, treats, and meals available.
$4 Meal (hotdog or nachos, chips or popcorn, and water or soda)
*Bounce Slide*
The younger ones will burn off some of that energy in the bounce slide. A single purchase provides repeated use of the bounce slide until sunset.
Activity Tickets are $5 for each Activity
*Arts and Crafts*
- Painted pumpkins last longer than carved pumpkins and Casper pumpkins make a perfect canvas. Show your artistic talent at the craft table.
- Make your own trick or treat bag. Decorate it at the farm or take it home and complete it there. Either way, there will be no other bag like the one you design.
