Post Street Farms is an absolute gem, and Matt is the heart and soul behind its magic. Every visit…read morefeels personal and special because Matt always takes the time to say hi, chat with my kids, and show them something new--whether it's how to gently feed the rabbits, point out a hidden spooky detail in the decorations, or explain how the pumpkins grow. His warmth and enthusiasm make every trip memorable. And let's talk about the Halloween setup--hands down the best pumpkin patch around. Matt's attention to detail is incredible. The displays are creative, immersive, and perfectly balanced: spooky enough to thrill the older kids, but never too scary for the little ones. From fog-drenched graveyards to glowing jack-o'-lantern paths and clever animatronics, it feels like stepping into a storybook haunted harvest. The variety of pumpkins, gourds, and photo ops is unmatched. If you want a pumpkin patch that's more than just rows of orange spheres--if you want magic, community, and a place where your kids light up with wonder--Post Street Farms is it. Matt doesn't just run a farm; he creates memories. We'll be back every year. Oh and I told me he also does a Christmas tree farm- excited to see it!

JUNE, SUMMER VISIT: Pumpkin patch not open but the barn…read moremarket still is Some neat finds, lots of stuff in the barn. Vegetables, corn, lettuce, peas, strawberries, jam, soap, chocolate, more. Picked up a jar of picked quail eggs, onions, cucumber and carrot to try at home Good prices for strawberries, $6 for good size box, good for a farm along the highway. At Another farm nearby it was much pricier. In June, it's in season, so it was sweet. Water pipe was not working so could not use sink to wash the fruit first. Staff advised I could just eat them as is from the box. It's certified organic

It was one of the smaller patches we'd end up seeing this year, but it had such character and the staff was so friendly. There was a ton of fun stuff everywhere, like a big ruler where you could stand with partners/kids/dogs for cute photo ops, wagons and little carts for the little ones, and of course - pumpkins! The parking fee was not so high, and it counts toward your purchase of a pumpkin. It is dog friendly and the owners we encountered were all mindful and careful, asking before petting - it was great and a great value as well. Would absolutely recommend!

Thankfully they were open because it was a bit of a drive to get here! The farm owner was friendly and helpful.

The good: This place is just all-so American and I love it…read more My aunt comes here for the berry pie and buys several of them to bring to me in SoCal. She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment. The interesting: They're family owned and have been around for decades. You can pick fruits here too.

We came here for the first time today to visit.

Come to find out that this was the owner of the ranch! My wife, who suffers from stage-4 cancer and has difficulty walking needed to park close to the shop and this was a perfect spot. She was excited to purchase a pie and other treats, but was shocked and disappointed when the extremely rude owner turned us away. We had driven very far to see the ranch and were extremely disappointed. Never coming back and would recommend others not visit because of the discrimination this business owner showed for absolutely no reason.

I am not going to lie. Looked like i stepped foot onto a scene from a horror movie, imagine running in the cornfield but a small strawberry field. It was infested with so many flies walking down the road to get to the patch, the sink to rinse your strawberries was not what I had pictured including the port o potty which always disgusts me. I held it until I got to my next destination. Rows of tiny strawberries. Organic, was told there are no pesticides. They will rot if not eaten in two days. I don't know how I feel about this farm. The inside cashier was cool. 80's vibe. Bought a strawberry cobbler. One of their popular desserts they say. Would I come back? Probably not. It was an awesome experience but it was a run down farm. Pictures can be deceiving online. Maybe once upon a time the farm was boomin but I can't see how. Should really invest it to make it enjoyable for family and kids of all ages especially those visiting.

IMHO Every year…read moreSpina Farms Pumpkin Patch keeps upping their game with new attractions, more dining options and old favorites. This year I noticed a new layout for the hayride, where you walk through a "dino walk" before arriving at the hayride entrance. It's a lovely leisurely walk-through rows of marigolds and zinnias and cornfields. Happily, there are more food vendors and they open early for us hungry visitors. Our favorite vendor is ADK Tacos. We indulged in what we called our appetizer, the $5 taco with your choice of protein. Delicious "bang-for-your-buck" snack! I love the animatronic Godzilla and Kong that greet you at the entrance, and the dinos throughout the massive patch. There are many fun picture opportunities here! If you're shopping, save some money by paying cash as they charge a 3% credit card fee. Also, if you come on a weekend, bring cash to pay the $30 parking fee. And if you're a senior, don't forget to ask for your senior discount! Thanks Spina Farms, see ya next year!!!

I wouldn't recommend going to Moreland Pumpkin Patch if you're planning on doing the family walk…read more It was quite expensive at $15 per person, even for my 2yo. We lined up at our 730pm check-in time and waited 35 minutes in the cold and were only halfway through the line. We left because it would have been another 25-35 more minutes to get through the line. However, the staff was great and the carnival games were fun. Nice to have all of the thoughtful decorations as well, our child loved playing with all of the pumpkins.

This patch is cute…read more The haunted trail costs $15 per person and there are scheduled appointment times to go in, however the line backs up and you have to wait at least 30 minutes past your appointment time before entering. We did not enter the trail until 720pm, and that is after getting in line at 640pm. Just be aware. Which is fine, my family had fun and the actors inside are funny and well rehearsed. However, since we waited so long, we got out of the trail around 750pm. My kid wanted to play the carnival games, which close at 8pm, so we bought some tickets to play, and were out to the carnival by 752pm, they had already taken everything down and had only a few simple games still up. My kid was bummed, but I figured since there were no refunds, I could go back and get a snack instead with my tickets. I was denied and told to come back next week to redeem the tickets. I know this is all for a good cause and it really isn't too big of a deal, but it is silly that I literally bought the tickets within a minute and then walked back after the carnival being closed and then denied to even use the tickets on anything else and then told to come back next week. They were told not to sell any tickets since they were closing up the carnival early, but I guess it wasn't communicated well. I guess we will be back to use up the tickets next weekend...?
