Thank you, E-Z Trail, Inc. for the use of your trailers for our wagon ride! These “people movers” help thousands of visitors and school children get a closer look at how pumpkins are grown.

Located on Rt. 133 in Arthur, E-Z Trail has been in the farm wagon business since 1964. Be sure to check out their trailer tower when you’re here at the Patch, or better yet, go for a wagon ride and experience it for yourself!

We are so grateful for community partnerships.
