  A visitor writes on September 27, 2010: "This was very nice for the kids to go pumpkin picking. They had a haybale stack for the kids to climb up tp the top. They also had a haybale maze for the kids to play in. They also had a pony ride for an additional fee. Also, a large corn maze too. Their market had lots of yummy homemade treats like pies and donuts. We were accompanied on our hayride with a talking "scarecrow" that made the ride a lot of fun, he was great!
