Pumpkin Picking at Joe’s Farm

Make this Halloween extra special with a visit to Joe’s Farm, where you can take a walk around the scenic grounds, learn a little about farming, and pick your very own pumpkin to carve, decorate or simply display at home.

On selected dates live actors roam the grounds, adding an extra layer of spine-tingling excitement to the experience.
