The human condition,
Round and round we go
As the worm turns…

One world

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us this fall. We are SOLD OUT OF PUMPKINS for the 2025 season! We hope to see you next year.

Today is National cat day. We thought we'd take a moment to highlight the real stars of our pumpkin operation, the cats.

We currently have three barn cats of our own and stray who is almost tame enough to take to be vetted. Our barn cats do important work keeping the local rodent population down. They are all spayed/ neutered and are vaccinated against rabies and FIV. In addition to all the rodents they can eat they also get cat kibble twice a day and a warm, dry barn to live in.

Mama Kitty is the black cat who you'll see most often loving up the pumpkins. She's five years old. As a kitten in the spring of 2020 she had our kids full attention for at least 18 months. She managed to have a litter of kittens before we were able to get her in to be spayed, hence the name.

Chubbers is the grey tiger with the white paws and the sad meow. Chubbers is at least eight years old. He's less friendly with strangers so you may have seen him across the yard vs. up close.

Mittens is the long haired cat who is usually too busy hunting to visit with anyone. She's our oldest cat at thirteen years. We joke that she is like Yoda. To see her walking across the yard you'd think she was way to old to do anything besides nap in the sun. Once she sees a mouse she moves so fast you can't see her go. She brings down mice, voles, chipmunks, small rabbits and once a very unwary squirrel.

Stay kitty is the brown-ish tiger cat in the picture of the pumpkins in the wagon. He's been hanging around almost a year and he has gotten to the point where he'll watch us put the food in the cat dish from only a few feet away.

Please note that while we love our barn cats but we don't need any more. The cost of properly vetting and feeding these guys is enough for us and we don't take in unwanted pet cats.

Today we are down to $2, $4 & $6 size pumpkins in the yard - the field is completely picked out. We still have a few mums as well as cornstalks, straw bales and ornamental corn. The cows are in the barnyard eating their hay bale and the chickens are always ready to show off. Once we are out of pumpkins we'll update here.

10/24/2025

We're ready for our last weekend of the 2025 season. The weather is crisp and the patch is open. We still have a good selection of sizes to choose from. We're open until the end of the month, M-Sa 10am-6pm, Su 11a-5pm

10/19/2025

We got some much needed rain last night and there is still a chance of rain today. We're open our normal Sunday hours (11am-5pm) but we don't have the model A ford truck out today. The ornamental corn is also under cover, but still available. The u-pick patch is very muddy today, so plan accordingly if you want to pick your own. We expect that by Monday morning the standing water will have been absorbed and it will be much dryer.

10/18/2025

We're ready for another nice day. Stop out and visit us for U-Pick pumpkins, cornstalks, straw bales and mums in a quiet country setting without leaving town. We're open until the end of October, Monday-Saturday 10am - 6pm, Sundays 11am-5pm. We take cash or card. Please leave your pets at home. We are open rain or shine, but if there is significant rain forecast the model A Ford will not be out in the yard.

10/16/2025

Ever wonder how fast our old model AA Ford moves? The answer is not very fast. That is the original horn honking. We move it in and out of the shed to keep it dry if there is rain in the forecast.

10/15/2025

We've had to fence in our u-pick patch to keep the local deer herd from eating the pumpkins in the field. It is a smaller area, but we've got lots of nice pumpkins to hunt for.

Stop out and say "hello" to our curious chickens and pick up some fall decorations. The birds are right in front of our parking area.
