Great article! It’s nice to have all of the packages laid out prior to getting there because that can be overwhelming.! We love Country Pumpkins!
We haven’t been able to visit this farm since 2019. There’s not many farms that offer hands on experiences for kids like we had growing up and I appreciate all the details this family puts into their farm.
Thank you Bridget!
I always appreciate how thorough your blogs are Nedra! This place looks like a blast!
We have been wanting to check this place out for a few years but schedules just never lined up. It looks so fun!! I can tell you right now Charlotte will be all about that slide and I will beeline it to the cider donuts!
My family and I love to check out different places each year, and this is one we haven’t been to! We would love to win and see it this year!
We have been there before with our kids for Families With ASD outings and it was so much fun! We’re now looking forward to bringing our 19 month old granddaughter for her 1st pumpkin patch experience.
