The ol' Punkin Patch

Schuh Farms has been around for a long time. First as pea farmers (a huge crop in the valley) and then different crops and now they grow corn and pumpkins and through-out the year they sell plants and veggies and local produce and the best milk and cream from a local creamery. Nowadays farmers have to diversify. Their Punkin Patch has been fun to go to for years




Ralph is a Patch inhabitant and feverishly mows the area so visitors can walk down the Punkin Path.


Oops, there were so happy to get married they did it twice. They are exhausted so they are sleeping.


Oh look! Is that MB? Whoa--look at those legs!!

There is a farm here that does the same thing. They have also tried sunflowers but I noticed they gave that up. But the pumpkins are a one time deal. Boy it takes a lot of pumpkins to pay for a farm mortgage. I would guess.

You managed to get the nicest pictures of this venture.

Oh what a neat place to visit, Mary Beth. I've seen Pumpkin Patches--but have seldom seen Pumpkin FARMS... They have it decorated so neat. I'll bet that kids love that place.

Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy

My kind of place! Great, great and more great!

Love the gentleman who is using the lawn mower!!

And the bride reminds me of that character in a Charles Dickens book -- Great Expectations I think! Wow!

Always fun places to visit. A lot of farms in Michigan have added corn mazes to their Fall offerings.

What a great and funny place to visit. Love the lawn mower guy. And I can't believe those are your legs. ;-)

I knew that cutting the grass and marriage would be the death of me!

I've never seen so many pumpkins in my life!

Sound like smart farmers, willing to change and diversify.

I like all these shots, MB.

Have a wonderful day. Don't get too pumped up or your kin may decide to visit!

Get it?

This is such a funny post! And I think I've never seen so many pumpkins as in the third photo!

Ooh I would love that place! The field is amazing! The decoration isn't half bad either, really getting us into the spirit of Halloween!

The Punkin' Patch looks like a hoot -- lots of fun. A farm near here does the same thing and add a little something each year. Last year they added a pumpkin catapult which made quite an impression.

Great fun! We have several farms here that have turned their farms into tourist destinations. Two of them seem to be doing quite well.

There sure are a lot of pumpkins!

Jim K said...

Wow, I would like to play around in that farm. Lots of pictures to take thats for sure.
