This year I can really see he is enjoying it more than ever because the patch has the following two areas he just loves, they are called Tunnel of Straw & Lima Bean Pots and Little Carver's Barnyard Play Area. Both of these areas are so perfect for the preschool age child that I would love to recreate them in my yard (if my yard was actually big enough!) For access to both areas it is $10.00, which seems high at first but only until this provides a ticket to hours of fun! Parents, my advice is to bring a magazine to look at because this will not be a short visit! Plus, as a teacher, I love the lima bean pots as they are really good for tactile and sensory integration which most children are not getting enough of in our high technology world!

I bought a Cinderella pumpkin from here on our last visit, which is a heirloom variety the owner, Sharon, grows on property. I cooked it up at home and made pumpkin pie and it took hours! The Cinderella pumpkin is really sweet. I enjoyed making pumpkin pie with my son using a real pumpkin we had got from a pumpkin patch!
The owner, Sharon, is always there when we visit, and she has done the pumpkin patch since the 1980's. It is now a tradition in our family! I would highly recommend this place!
