Pumpkin Festival

Here at Farmer Charley’s , we just love the fall season!  The rich fall colors and smells of the fall season and all the fun fall activities that you can do only during these months.  Families come to Farmer Charley’s to play in the Courtyard with lots of fall activities for 2 to 92 years old.

There is something for every one to enjoy here.  Take a hayride to Nana’s Pumpkin Patch to pick those special pumpkins to make pies.  Get your Bales of Straw, Corn Stalks and Pumpkins for you to decorate your yard. There are more  decorations for Halloween you may choose from at the General Store. Shoot the Pumpkin Cannons and watch the pumpkins fly at 100 m/p/h.  Learn about all of our  Barnyard Friends animals and watch the Pig Races.  They will have you squealing. We have lots of things you can enjoy the whole day long.  See if you can figure out  how to get through our NO Right Turn Maze.  Don’t forget to let the kids take a PONY RIDES  for even more fun! 

We celebrate fall by taking Hayrides with our farm tractor driven through the cornfields creating even more fun!  Perhaps you might see deer playing along the paths of the hayride trails and you just might get to take a picture of them if you are quick.  We see deer running down the path ways of the maze as it is growing.  The deer sometimes stop and look at us as if to say, “Yea look at us, we found our way through the maze!”

We have evening activities like Flashlight Nights, the maze is pitch black and you find your way with only your flashlights or glow sticks. Then you might want to visit our bonfire with Glinda GoodWitch welcoming you.  You will want to sample some of her special fall treats.  Our wonderful Apple Fitters and Apple Bread are oh so good, you will want to take some home.  How about some Hot Chocolate to warm you up or roast some marshmallows and make some Smores?

We have a special activity for you to do this year.  It’s our “COW-A-BONGA” PUMPKIN CANNONS.  At Farmer Charley, we grows special pumpkins just the right size for you to shoot.  It will shoot 100 miles an hour (or so they say) and you will be shooting at targets.  See if you can hit the target.  Are you up for that?  They call this a “Boy Toy”, but we girls can hit that target just as good as the boys!  Our youngest person to sho0t the cannon was 18 months old and had the best shot of the season as her daddy held her up.

Have you ever seen Pig Races? Well, we have them and if you are a brave soul and love our little piggies, you can give him a little smack-a-rue (kiss) if you wish.  Of course we don’t want our piggies to get sick, so we use a sanitizer on his mouth so he doesn’t get your germs.  Ha Ha!!
