Schumaker Farms
No autumn is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch.

Cost is $5 per carload and includes picking the perfect pumpkin and other fun activities. Take a hayride up to the field of pumpkins to choose just the right pumpkin for your Halloween jack-o-lantern this year or for the perfect pumpkin dessert. Other activities include a barn straw maze, playing in the corn in the grain bin, sliding down their huge slide, visiting with the animals, a corn maze for kids, hamster wheels, and many other fun fall-related games available as well. Food is also available for purchase and there are many picture opportunities set up throughout the grounds. Pumpkins are $0.30 a pound.
