Students will learn how pumpkins & apples grow, discuss the seasons of growth, pollinators, andmore! Everyone will walk to the pumpkin patch to pick the perfect pumpkin, while there be sure to grab two freshly harvested apples from a bin. In addition to pumpkin picking, enjoy a tractor & wagon ride around the farm. Cider and a donut sample will be served, too! Make sure you save time to enjoy our expanded kids corral fun area.
