Decker Farm

It was something to do on a fall day. However, $ 6 a person for a «pumpkin patch» that offers a short hay ride and children’s corn maze but doesn’t include a free pumpkin. Not worth the admission price. Won’t be visiting this farm again soon.

Flash cards with pictures of 18^th century furniture in the abandoned dilapidated farmhouse tour. The rest is just as everyone said with the exception of no pony rides because the pony was sick and the clearly miserable driver of the hay ride tractor.

After checking the website I thought this place would be a win with my toddler and family. I thought wrong… This place was a serious bust. Where to start? the website said the parking lot was free and available, but once there the workers said it was full so we found parking on the side streets. When we were entering we seen at least 9 empty spots :/​Well after paying $ 5 each we walk in to see a corn maze that had see thru walls. Go to use the bathroom and instantly was grossed out … Yuck! As we are looking around we see a sign saying the hay ride is closed. Then we go to let the kids ride the pony, another $ 5 each child … The pony looked depressed and tired and possibly pregnant, poor thing struggled to pull the wagon of 3 kids in a 9ft circle. I asked a worker where are the animals to feed and pet, he points to the chickens that were pecking at eachother behind a fence. We stared at the pathetic looking chickens and it felt like we were watching an animal cruelty commercial. My 3 yr old asked why are all the animals sad? We walked over to the last remaining activity, to pick a pumpkin… Ugh. broken pumpkins, no stems on most, and not enough small ones for kids to be able to hold (that weren’t broken). Then we overpay, again, for these busted looking pumpkins … After a few minutes struggling to find a brush to let the kids paint we gave up. It was a bit chilly so I try to get myself a cup of coffee and see the sign $ 2 for coffee, $ 2 hotdogs and I look at the bread that’s sitting outside uncovered and the coffee pot that had spilled everywhere. I gave up. I had to apologize to everyone for being the one who suggested this crappy place. I’m still so annoyed at the audacity they have for charging anyone to get in and then charge for everything! Nothing is included. except for the fungus that was growing into its own eco system in the port a pottys … Horrible horrible. I will never ever return here and prey for those poor animals. We would’ve been better off pumpkin picking at the supermarket.

I wish I could rate this a Zero! I went yesterday, October 20^th 2013 with my family of 9. The man in the front says oh I’ll give you a deal on admission price. it came out to 37 dollars. When I said how is that a deal he said its a good deal I said its simple math… so I just brushed it off and walked away. There was a terrible vendor who served tasteless food and stale bread charged 22 for 2 hamburgers and 2 shishkabobs. Then we began to look for pumpkins… The pumpkins were all brusied and mot were missing the stem. We finally found 2 ok pumpkins paid more money to buy them and went to find a spot to paint them. When we asked the woman who was giving out the paint where are the brushes, she said u have to find one on the table. We finally found one after 20 minutes and the kids were painting their pumpkins. The 2 minute hayride we waited on line for an hour to get on and the man who was driving it is obviously not all there, he stared everyone down with a nasty look. The half dead animals were huddling together for warmth they must be sick. The shuttle bus driver almost ran us over. Save your money and go elsewhere this place is definitely not worth anything!!!

took the families who participate in our non-​profit program for pumpkin picking. When the staff arrived a woman approached us and the first thing she said was you cannot park in this parking lot. No good morning, no smile nothing. The older woman who directed our children never once smiled, gave any history or information about the animals the children were seeing. The prople who put our pumpkins in the bag never looked up or smiled. There was no warmth or any enthusiasm among any of the staff. Our program will not return next year.

Saturday morning, throughout the season (April-​November), this farmstand offers up locally-​grown produce at amazing prices, as well as fresh-​baked bread, cheeses, jams, etc.
Associated with Old Richmond town, there are also a couple of historic displays (a larger educational center is in the works), and a few animals to see! (Chickens, goats, a horse & a pony).
