A note for our weekday guests: We do have school groups that come during the week and pick pumpkins, tour the farm, get a reserved hayride and educational lessons. The groups arrive between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. Their tours will be spread out around the farm for these lessons and take about two hours, and then they eat lunch. We do limit the amount of children coming on a school group as to not overload the farm or a tour group.
