"My family can't wait for the Fall Festival!!! We
love any excuse to come to your lovely farm, but the Fall Festival is something we wait ALL year for!!! There's nothing like
spending a cool fall evening picking a pumpkin, eating a delicious burger, and just enjoying the best time of the year that
is fall....thanks for opening up your home and your farm for everyone to enjoy... " James Passannanti

"I would have
to say this was the most fun we have had at a farm. We were there Saturday from 4pm - 7:30pm and we loved every minute of
it. My son didn't want to leave. The Charlie Brown movie was the perfect ending to our wonderful visit! We just may have
to come back before Halloween to enjoy more family fun!" (October, 2011)
