I love bringing my family here every year. There are not many true pumpkin patches in Florida, and since it has been a family tradition for years, we always have to go every fall. I have been to quite a few pumpkin patches in my day, and this one is unique. The family who owns this patch is a strong Christian family and that shows everywhere you look. You won't see any mention of Halloween, nothing haunted, nothing spooky. Everyone who works there, works hard and is full of heart. There are several sunflower patches, hay rises, a challenging corn maze, a tunnel of gourds where you leave notes and prayers, bluegrass bands that play saturdays and sundays, and of course an enormous pumpkin patch with pumpkins of all sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. They vary in price from $5 - $30, gourds are $4, and sunflowers are $3 each or 2 for $5. For the little ones there is a hay maze, a hay fort and slide, and other playing areas around the farm. This year they were selling water, soda, and apple juice for concessions. There is an incredible amount of picture taking areas for families and couples, and the property is so majestic it is nice to just be there. Entry is $5 per person and children under 5 are free. I highly recommend this place over any other patch and especially over getting your pumpkins from the grocery store. These people are so kind hearted and we are al blessed they open up their home for us to celebrate fall year after year. Shop local, support local farmers and families in our own community and help this family keep our traditions going! Thanks y'all!
