Halloween is coming soon

Although the pumpkin is closly linked with Halloween, it is also a symbol of the fall harvest - an edible and  fun one.  We've had a great pumpkin crop this year and supply in the fields and our Pumpkin Corral is good.  There are some real beauties out there.

Weather forcast for the weekend doesn't look exceptional but if you dress warmly with a raincoat and boots you'd be amazed at how pleasant it can turn out.  This weeks rain has made for some mud but you don't have to get dirty, the Pumpkin Corral is on grass.

This will be the last weekend for our Harvest Festival with all our extra activities (weather permitting) so come on out and enjoy.  Check out our festival page for complete details.

The corn maze, pedal karts and Enchanted Forest will still be available the first weekend in November. The corn maze is up until it is combined and there is no set time as of yet. 

Our farm is open Thursday till Sunday 9-5 in November then daily again with beautiful, fresh cut Christmas trees until December 24th.

Pumpkin Harvest Tours

Cultivating Curiosity, Planting Knowledge - it is what we strive for in our school tours.  October is a busy time of year, a fun time for the kids to learn about agriculture and where their food comes from.

Although limited, some times are still available for weekday group tours.

Don't delay in booking your group as space is filling up quickly.

Thanksgiving is Turkey Time

Our turkeys are doing well and many have been booked for dinner, but not all.  We'll have fresh turkeys in the market Friday around 3:00, ready for pick up.  Come and take one home, make your dinner a delicious one.
It is best to place an order to be sure we have one for you.  If you are phoning in a order wait till I finish my message and wait for the beep.  We need a phone number to confirm and at least a 4 lb weight range of biggest to smallest size you would like. 
Sorry, no promises on small turkeys.  We'll know sizes for sure Friday when they come in dressed and ready for dinner.
