Gallmeyer Farms may not have all the fancy things that bigger farms around the area have but it's…read moreone of the few farms that allow you to come to pick your own pumpkin without charging an entrance fee. They have a large area to browse for the perfect pumpkin and cute/trendy pumpkins up front by the checkout stand. They also have a hayride, maze, funnel cake & cotton candy stand and a small playground for the kids. The pumpkins were reasonably priced and there is plenty of parking available. It is right in the middle of a built up area but they've managed to make you feel like you're right on a family farm.

I thought it was adorable and purchased it with excitement. I got home, put it on my planter I just purchased from them and it fell and broke into pieces (Highly Fragile). I took it back the next day with the receipt and the customer service representative said when it left their place, it was in good condition and would not even listen to me. For Christians and as a customer service representative, this is not the way to handle things. I am a local and have been to Crowders several times and I've never had this experience with them before. Buy your pot hangers off Amazon. It is safer.

It's a good thing we decided to get there when they open because when we left around 1130, the line was very, very long! We got in line for donuts. They were pretty ready. I was put off by a female employee who was smoking while working. She lit it up after walking out of a door nearby. She had the cigarette in the palm of her hand holding it with her pointer finger and thumb. That was not cool in my book. We waited in line for a wagon to take us to the pumpkin field. We waited not too long for that. While waiting so walked into the nursery area to look at all the flowers... mostly mums. Pricing was fairly reasonable. We finally got on the wagon. It was actually a pretty good ride to the field. We were dropped off and have free reign of the field. We could stay as long as we would like. Then we take a wagon back when we were ready. There was some confusion or lack of communication on how picking and paying for pumpkins went. We thought we would pay by weight and not the whole, "pay a set rate for as many as you can hold while taking 3 steps." A staff member was very kind to us when we returned. We were about to go back out and get more pumpkins to make it worth our trip. There was also confusion on entering the kids play area. We had tickets online, but did not realize we needed to go I see the gift shop to get the wrist bands. The ground in that area where the inflatables were, was really hard in the feet if you took your shoes off in order to play on/in the inflatables. We ended up telling our kids to keep their shoes in to avoid an injury's. For us, this was a one and done.

Wondered why the parking lot was empty on a Saturday @ 12:30 p.m. when we pulled in. Now we know…read more Much of the produce was past its prime. It should have been removed from sale. The cart I picked was caked with mud on the bottom inside and I had to sort through a stack of shopping baskets to find one that was clean enough to use. Produce, flowers and general merchandise are more expensive than at similar markets in Hanover County. Upon cleaning a plastic clamshell of strawberries at home, more than 1/2 of them were rotten and the proprietors had to know this. They must have been in the cooler box for more than a week. Two employees sat and chatted when they could have been culling the produce of outdated stock. Decided to pass on the "direct from our farm" frozen meats because the whole atmosphere of the place was "iffy" when it came to cleanliness and quality control. However, if you want a 5' tall cement ape for your front lawn, this is the place for you. (But it's probably 50% more than you could find it elsewhere.)

This place was so packed and we went on a late Saturday evening, thinking all the families would be gone. Haha we were wrong. It's cool that a lot of the kids' activities are free, just be patient enough to wait in lines. There doesn't seem to be any order in terms of where to go to pay for pumpkins. There weren't any signs for prices or where to go to pay. The pumpkins were all spread out. A lot of pumpkins didn't have stems, probably due to people lifting pumpkins up by them. But overall, nice and free activity for the kids.

Went here recently with my parents to enjoy the nice day and get some fall activities in. It's nice that they let people 60+ in for free so my parents didn't have to pay, and my basic ticket was $10. The all-inclusive pass is $25 but frankly this isn't really worth getting except for families looking to use the children's attractions like the slide and bounce house. There were plenty of chickens wandering around, as well as ducks, pigs, and other assorted barnyard animals in various pens which were fun to see. The pumpkin launching thing was a blast though $10 for three small pumpkins to fire is pretty pricey. The apple cider donuts were expensive too, 2 for $5 for small donuts. Thankfully the short hayride experience was included in the admission. While this was a cute experience, I think the main draw is for families with young children who would make the most use of all the activities here or older folks who are able to enjoy it for free. Otherwise, there's not much for those in their 20's-40's to do, though I did enjoy the brief time with the pumpkin launcher. If you have kids, definitely come! Others might want to review their other options. --- Overall: 4.0 stars Pros: - Nice staff, very friendly and helpful. - Inviting family-friendly atmosphere. - Free for 60+, not too expensive for others if you skip the kid stuff. - Plenty of stuff for kids if you're here for that. Cons: - Everything is a bit of an abridged version of things you might find elsewhere: very short small hayride, small play areas for kids. - Nothing to do for those without kids, nothing like rope swings or wine tasting.

I stopped off here instead of college farm where we usually get pumpkins bc it's closer. It was…read morenice that the prices were on thre pumpkins. However. I had never gotten a rotten pumpkin, so I didn't think to inspect it thoroughly. Drove 45 minutes home & sat my $13 punkin down to decide on decorating. Bugs later appearing & when I flipped it over, I noticed it was rotten. Had to throw it outside. (I usually but Cinderella or Fairytale pumpkins bc I like the taste. I usually only put the cheap pumpkins outside.) Personally, I'll stick with college farm. This farm did seem to have a lot for children to keep entertained & sold clothes, fresh eggs, & other jams, etc. (For kids, I prefer Dardens. The owner loves to educate kids & allow them to touch everything. They have breast cancer pink pumpkins that they donate money to fight breast cancer. They also have great pies & smoked ham.)
