Hi Foggy friends! I hope you all are well. Farmer Emmett has been working on Climate Mobilization the last few years and wants to share this update. If you're inspired, there's a link at the bottom where you can support the project.

Support healing, mutual aid, and bold action

Did you carve your pumpkins yet?! We still have lots of nice pumpkins. Open until 4 pm today!

10/29/2021

Pumpkins large and small,
squash and gourds for one and all!

Come for a visit, 10 to 4,
Today or tomorrow, for pumpkins and more!

Elves and fairies hide about,
One can almost hear them shout:

“Don’t be caught on Halloween
Without any pumpkins on the scene!”

Friday: 10:00am-4:00pm
Saturday: 10:00am-4:00pm

Well, we have come out the other end of the storm and the pumpkin patch is draining and drying! As you can see, during and immediately after the heaviest rainfall, our lowest sections were underwater, pumpkins set sail on a glassy sea. This level of flooding is perfectly ordinary in January, but it is absolutely extraordinary for a single storm in October. The photo on the lower right shows how much things have drained already by this morning.

So… we are opening up this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and we hope you will come out and support us if you haven’t picked up your Halloween carving pumpkins yet or could use a pantry restock of winter squash or decorative gourds for Thanksgiving. We had to close last weekend entirely and could use your support now!

We have many good, beautiful carving pumpkins still in the upper part of the field and we will also be bringing some more bins of pumpkins and winter squash up from our storage barn where they were kept cozy and dry.

We plan to have a drive through station set up for those who want to quickly grab some pumpkins/squash/gourds and move along. And for those who want to search in the field, bring your mud boots and rain pants!

Planned hours*
Thursday 12:00-4:00pm
Friday 10:00-4:00pm
Saturday 10:00-4:00pm

It's super soggy out there!
Just want to let everyone know that the farm stand and pumpkin patch will be CLOSED THIS WEEKEND (Friday 10/22 - Sunday 10/24) due to high rain volume and resulting mud.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and please check back for news about reopening next week/weekend.

We had a school group out this morning, and--between cars almost getting stuck on the edges of the parking area, boots getting stuck in thick mud, canopies breaking from excessive rain pooling, and our all-terrain wagon tires getting so gummed up with mud that they could barely move-- well, we decided we better take a break while we're ahead.

Surprising how fast the ground became super-saturated!

It’s a lovely morning to visit the pumpkin patch, whether you have 2 legs or 4. Fall is in the air…warm sunshine with high clouds and a crisp Autumn breeze. A perfect day to come grab your pumpkins if you haven’t yet!

It’s costume season at the pumpkin patch! No pressure, but these guys set the bar pretty high… Thing one, Thing two (and thing 3 & notice thing 4 on the way), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, princesses… We were totally impressed.

Your daily dose of pumpkin patch cuteness.

Meh meh meh! Meh meh maaaah! Meh mah meh mah meeeeeh meh!

Translation: “good morning! Why are you holding that thing and pointing it at us? We’re eating our breakfast of the same-old-alfalfa here at the pumpkin patch. Please find some people to visit us and feed us pumpkins.”

You heard the goats! They want to see you. Come on out and visit them today at Foggy River Farm, during their once-a-weekend appearance.
