Pick Your Own

Hayrides to pick your own are FREE!

TICKETS are NOT required for hayrides or to pick your own. Pay for your apple bag prior to apple picking. Pay for pumpkins and sunflowers after picking in the Farm Market. 

Pumpkin Patch

The pumpkin patch is open from 10 am – 6 pm every day with over 12 acres of beautiful pumpkins! See the Hayride Schedule below! Pumpkins are $.65 per pound over 5 pounds, $3.50 each 2-5 pounds and $2.00 each under 2 pounds.

Sunflower Fields

2023: Due to the extreme drought, we do not have sunflowers this year. We will try again in 2024. Pray for rain! 

Take a walk through the sunflower paths and take pictures with our photo props: bojo swing, piano, Farmall tractor and NEW props in 2023!
