The pumpkin farm was even more fun than usual because we not only had our friends with us, but also our cousins!
The morning was cloudy and perfect for rain boots after the "gully washer" the night before. The hayride was lots of fun.
The G-man came with us last year and he remembered the place well. Not in school, or planning a wedding , or having a baby, Meg was able to join us for the first time! The pumpkins were especially cute this year. Each one was well shaped and adorable. We all got a free little pumpkin with our admission.
Everyone also got to eat an apple grown on the farm. These little apples didn't look like much but they certainly delivered when it came to taste.The kids noticed how tasty they were!
Great Country Farms has a lot of fun things for children to do. We spent about five hours there and the kids really enjoyed themselves. As the day went on, the sun came out making the view very pretty by lighting up the foliage. All of the school groups left by one-thirty pm and then we had the place almost to ourselves!
They really loved the Corn Crib which is a pavilion filled with loose corn kernels about 7 or 8 inches deep.
I sat in a lawn chair in the kernels and watched the kids play for at least a half an hour. None of us had any idea how dusty corn could be! Their clothes were covered in a thick layer of fine, yellow dust.
The activities go on and on. We always luck out and get a good price to visit because we come with a group but there is so much to see and do here that in my opinion, full price would be worth it for a wonderful family outing.
Visiting the pumpkin farm is an October tradition for us. But as I write, I realize that this Agribusiness celebrates every season with the pick your own produce that each month has to offer. I will have to consider bringing the kids back to visit in other months because of all the great outdoor activities it has available which would be great fun at any time of year.
