The patch also provides a unique educational experience for both kids and adults alike by seeing different, bugs, weeds and varieties of items growing in the patch.  You will sometimes see honey bees pollinating pumpkin blossoms and see how God made things work in harmony to support each other. How the pumpkin blossom provides nectar for the bee and the bee pollinates the blossom to make the pumpkin is best witnessed up close. You can see this and more while you have fun roaming the patch.

They will always have a large selection of pumpkins in the barn, in the shade, to choose from as well. You will be amazed at all the different varieties of pumpkins available for purchase.
