Firstly, I'm a researcher before I ever step foot anyplace. I did a quick read up on this first and it was my pleasure to fine on generation who bought the farm in '95 had recently sold to a new family, looking to give the farm an opportunity to raise another generation and keep agriculture alive.
Pulling up on a fall day, it is quite literally pretty as a picture. We actually walked to pumpkin patch however you CAN take a tractor ride (you can bet we took one back). There is such an abundance of varieties that it felt like every few feet I was finding a new one that I HAD to take home. Which, resulted in a VERY full wagon.
While getting onto the tractor, you're helped to place your pumpkins inside for their ride back to be paid for and taken home. I'm a NY native with the gift of gab, and the gentleman giving us the ride was very genuine and seemed so truly happy to be doing what he was doing. So I had to ask- "are you the new owner?!" With a smile he told me yes and I complimented him and wished him the best of luck on this endeavor, I truly find it SO satisfying when I find people giving life to agriculture.
While placing our pumpkin babies in the wagon to pay, I dented on. He very kindly followed us and insisted it be free. I couldn't help but then spend MORE money, so we purchased three mums. A overflowing wagon of pumpkins and three HUGE mums, only $88!
What a pleasurable time, what a reasonable price, and what lovely people to be giving my money to. Please consider Brookfield on your pick-your-own adventure! read more
