Summit * Mon-Sat: 8 AM-6 PM * Sun: 12-6 PM * Weekdays: $8/person * Weekends + Fall Break Week: $10/person * Weekend admission includes the wagon ride + activity area If you're looking for a pumpkin patch that feels like the good old days, put Jacob's Family Orchard on your fall list.

I went on a day that they were offering sampling of all of the containers of preserves, dips,…read moresauces, and salsas they offer. It was extremely hot on this day and everything was sitting in the open, I still tried some of them that I fought the bees for. I purchased some of the Terrapin Ridge goods and also purchased a couple bags of their apples. It looked like you could try the apples too but all of those containers were empty. They had been open a few hours. I do not have young children so I did not try any of the outside activities. I have an orchard much closer that I love so I likely will not come back soon.

My 6 year old started crying and said what's wrong with his owie, it's very noticeable and needs to be addressed ASAP! I grew up on a farm and know animals and proper living, and I can honestly say some of this stuff was not ok and made me sad for these animals. We paid $5 a person to come today they should be getting way better care. I hope management sees this and addresses these issues. For the animals sake please!

We purchased 2 gourds and 2 pumpkins. Unfortunately on Friday, October 2nd our 2 pumpkins were mushy and moldy and we are very disappointed as we haven't carved them yet, just brought them home and had them displayed to carve later. I called the farm on Friday the 2nd and left a message. Thankfully I got a return call.on Sumday, October 4th apologizing and explaining what had happened. They not only apologized but offered to either give us new pumpkins or refund our money. Because of their great customer service we would definitely visit their farm again!

So this year, we finally got to enjoy it again, as a family. But this year, grandbabies joined us! At $5 a head, we had an enjoyable afternoon together. We didn't check out the corn maze, nor do pony rides. But we did enjoy some prime family photo time in the pumpkin patch, while picking out a few small pumpkins for the grand daughters. Compared to the cost of pumpkins in the store, they are a little higher. But you do get the experience of picking your own and supporting a local small business. Our granddaughter that's mobile enjoyed every bit of the sensory buffet available. From the play equipment, to dancing to the live music, and petting and interacting with the farm animals. She had a great time sliding down the huge pile of hay, over and over, by the pumpkin patch. We found the concessions to be a bit of a bummer. They didn't offer a lot of the great fall treats like they use to. And you can only use a card if you're spending at least $5. So when we all started to get thirsty and have the nibbles, we left and moved to our next destination.

We made the drive over from union city in anticipation of picking apples and purchasing some sweet treats from the bakery. Note that this is not actually a u-pick farm but there are bags of apples available for purchase in the store. The store featured a variety of treats and snacks ranging from local honey and Amish noodles to cider and pumpkin balls. I also noticed that they sell cider slushies. The front porch boasts pumpkins, mums and cornstalks for sale. The neighboring bakery is where you can find apple dumplings, sour cream doughnuts, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin cookies and more. They have a handful of patio seats to enjoy your treats on-sure. I'm not sure if this is a weekly fall fixture or not, but they also had a local coffee truck parked for call drinks to purchase. Lastly, there is a fall play area in the back that requires $12 admission per head for those four years and older. I have to admit this seems a bit steep given that many if the orchards we visit in the Indy area have the play areas as part of the experience vs. paid entrance. We easily dropped $75+ on good/drinks during our brief visit. Overall, a positive and fun fall experience. Just wishing there were some more built-in interactive elements without admission.
