The Pumpkin Factory

I remember my mom taking my sister and I to The Pumpkin Factory when I was a little girl. It was so much fun that I have been taking my four children for the past 25 years. There are always lots of pumpkins to choose from. They are 40 cents per pound now. They have a refreshment counter inside where you can buy cider and donuts and a few other things. They used to sell a lot of Halloween stuff inside the store, but that has been cut way back. There is a petting farm and areas for little kids to play. I’ve always loved their Halloween decorations, although they have definitely cut back. They have a haunted house and haunted hay ride for $ 10 each per person. The «monsters» are very enthusiastic and try to get people involved. My family has always enjoyed this place and the fond memories it has made over the years.

Lots of fun! Petting farm, huge corn maze (bigger than Wiard’s), reasonable prices, decorations, donuts, real cider, no admission fee, and lots of pumpkins to choose from. We took a chance on this one this year and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. We will be coming here next year also!

I’ve been taking my kids here for the last 5 years. We absolutely love it! No parking fees, plenty room to move around, inexpensive, and fun! They have a tot playground, animals, a small haunted house, at no cost. There’s a giftshop/​food counter with cider, donuts, candy apples, hotdogs, etc. and pumpkin picking… They also offer pony rides, hayrides, cornmaze, and go-​carts for affordable prices. It’s very laid-​back and relaxing — so much better than all the hyped-​up, over-​priced, crowded cider mills and pumpkin patches!

I’ve been going to the Pumpkin Factory since I was a wee tot for all my Halloween needs, and I love it. This is nothing like the fancy orchards with hayrides and haunted houses and moon bounces and pony rides and $ 20 entrance fees. This is a u-​pick pumpkin place with a small Halloween shop and cider/​doughnut counter. Pumpkins are 35 cents a pound, and you wander around, pick some out, and bring them up to the big old-​fashioned scales to pay. They’ve got gourds and squash and Indian corn and all that decorative stuff for sale. They also have delightful cider and doughnuts, cheap – 75 cents per doughnut, 80 cents for a glass of cider. They have some Halloween decorations and costumes for sale, but most of the costumes looked about 20 years old. Pretty inexpensive decorations and little things like plastic spiders and the like. There’s a small «petting zoo» with a couple cows, a horse, and some goats that jump the fence like the little escape artists they are. None of this is extra money… they have a playground for kids too. They do have hayrides, which I believe are $ 7 and start at noon. Overall, this is my kind of pumpkin place… not over-​the-​top, not expensive, and the kids will be just as excited about it for ¼ of the price. It’s cash or check only, so come prepared!
