Spooner farms has been one of our go-to patches, especially now that Fiona is getting older. Not only do we find our pumpkins here but we visit with the farm animals, snap pictures in the photo booth, try our best at the pumpkin sling shot, and snack on caramel corn along the way. The patch itself is free to enter but you can pay to venture through corn maze, play in Pumpkin Pete’s Playtown, or take a sweet pony ride. There are plenty of food vendors and a gift shop to satisfy any savory or sweet tooth. Check out this flyer for a full list of activities and pricing!

It’s no secret that John and I are brewery people. Last year as we looked around for pumpkin patches it was a pleasant surprise to find a brewhouse attached to this sweet farm. That’s right parents, sip on a local craft beer or cider while the kids get their energy out running around the play area. Fiona had a blast in the hay bale ball pit and enjoyed snacking on some fresh fruit from the produce stand. The McMillin farmers highly recommend a trip through the corn maze after picking out our favorite pumpkin. We are definitely looking forward to visiting again this year. Admission is free!
Bonus: They are hosting a Home Grown Spooky Night Market on October 19th!
