Harvest Time on the Farm
What started as a project selling corn from a small farm stand turned into a full-scale farm store that critically supports the farming operation of the farm. Harvest time is naturally their busiest time of year, not only for the harvesting of their food crops, it’s their public celebration, The Pumpkin Patch event, that celebrates the end of their growing season. We take a behind-the-scenes visit as they prepare for this event, and include a look at their 7-acre corn maze.
