Pumpkin Patch News – As of 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 30+ years of offering family fun at the Pumpkin Patch, we have decided it\u2019s time to slow down and begin our journey into retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this change we will no longer be charging admission, nor offering tractor rides, camp fire rentals or entertainment activities but will continue with, our restaurant & bar and Madness operating the Haunted House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the farm moving forward, we will no longer be offering pumpkins but rather returning to our traditional roots of simply offering pick your own apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will still be open for food at our Apple Jack\u2019s at the Patch restaurant year round with open hours from 4 PM – 9 PM Thursday & Friday. We are closed Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. Be sure to check our FaceBook page for hours and details as we are taking more time off to relax and spend time with our family & friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madness Haunted Farm will still be here and open from mid September through October, so be sure to check out their website for details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to post additional information on our Facebook page, so please feel free to follow us there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to thank everyone that chose our place for their fall family fun these past many years! We are blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarry, Jan, Tyler, Nick & Sarah & and all of our incredible friends that helped us, we couldn\u2019t have done it without you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At our orchard we grow the classic favorites such as Red Delicious, Jonathan, Mackintosh & Fuji. Hopefully they meet your snacking & baking, needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, though we aim for a good crop each year, there are years that mother nature posses a challenge. So be sure to check our website for the current year apple crop status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

About Us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We bought our small farm just south of Council Bluffs in 1994 and moved into the existing old farmhouse which was built in 1890. We planted 627 apple trees in 1995 & 1996 and started building our current home ourselves as well. We also began selling pumpkins and apples as Pioneer Trail Orchard & Pumpkin Patch in 1995. Our children are, Tyler, Nick, and Sarah and have grown up working on the farm and have learned the value of hard work and entrepreneurship. Each year the surrounding community enjoys visiting the orchard as well as to stop out to our Apple Jacks restaurant which is open throughout the year. As shared above, we are beginning to move into retirement, so be sure to check out our FaceBook page for current details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
