Pumpkin picking season is upon us. If you are not careful, the very simple of idea of going on a hayride to pick the perfect pumpkin can turn into a VERY expensive outing! Here is a comparison of area farms and their prices along with their additional attractions. Remember, if you are pumpkin picking the cost of the pumpkin is , for most cases, an additional cost from the wagon or hayride to the patch. Please check their website for complete information. If you use another farm, please email me and I'll add it to the list! You make the decision, who has the best deal?
Prices are subject to change. Call ahead and/or check website.
