History
Over the past 18 years, Larry has held the Peter Pumpkin Patch at the farm. Every year more than 6000 kids try the Creamery's pumpkin ice cream, dig their own potatoes, milk a cow, go for a hay ride, pet baby animals and pick out the perfect pumpkin while their parents listen to live music and enjoy free cheese tasting! It's a wonderful opportunity to build community and to teach kids where their food comes from.
Specialties
The Peter Pumpkin Patch is a popular destination for harvest time school field trips. We invite teachers to educate their students at our working dairy and farm. A visit to the Peter Pumpkin Patch encourages appreciation of our county's agricultural heritage. A field trip includes a tour of the farm, a pumpkin, hay maze, digging for potatoes (keeping up to five), cow milking, access to the corn pit, a hay ride, cheese tasting, and a scoop of homemade ice cream for each student. It's an educational, memorable experience for all!
