My family has visited numerous pumpkin patches in the area and Johnson Farms tops our list every year. One of things I love most, it is actually a working farm in addition to a pumpkin patch. You will find crops, baby animals, entertainment, mums and of course, pumpkins!
The Johnson's have been farming here for 10 years and offer fall fun and a full green house for your spring planting as well. I suggest getting there early or going just before closing time - it's breathtaking to catch the sun rising or setting over the fields.
If you visit, I suggest the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch, so you can search for unique pumpkins or gourds. Your kids will love the adventure! You can even step out into the fields to pick your own veggies or flowers. Take in the calmness of the 140 acres away from the kid areas. Breathe in the smells of the farm, fresh flowers and apple cider.
We had the chance to meet Jorge in his cowboy hat while we were there harvesting fresh beans. He has been working with the Johnson's for many years and you might also catch him on a tractor during your visit. He allowed us to get a few photos of him working the land and we must say he looks like he was put on earth to work in this beautiful spot.
Visiting the farm reminds me to slow down in my usually hectic life and appreciate everything around me even more. I hope you will find some time to visit this fall. The Johnson's are an amazing family and we encourage you to support their local business. Enjoy! -Lindsay
