About

We offer fall fun for people of all ages - kids, teens, and adults. Enjoy these fun activities every day from Sept. 20 through Oct. 31, 2008: pick-your-own pumpkin from our 8-acre patch, 3 1/4 acre corn maze celebrating United Way of Inner Wisconsin, a cute "spook house" that is not too scary for little tykes, a fun straw fort made of BIG bales, a new goat walk and duck race, Boot Hill Cemetery with funny tombstones, cornstalk tunnel, straw play area, and mini grass maze. We offer a half-price activities package for weekday visitors. Special for 2008, vote in our Presidential Pumpkin Poll with poker chips or your spare change (donation to United Way of Inner Wisconsin).

Our farm market offers fall produce including apples, cranberries and cranberry products, caramel apples, pumpkins from mini to giant, cornstalks and other fall decorations, and a wide selection of Halloween decorations, carving kits, and fun items.

On weekends, enjoy horse-drawn and free tractor driven hayrides to the pumpkin patch including a drive-thru corn maze, food stands for charity, pumpkin catapult (1 pm) and special events (see below). We also offer field trips to pre-school and grade school groups that schedule a visit during the week.
