More Fall Fun at Verner Farm

When my husband suggested stopping by another pumpkin patch this weekend, I looked lovingly at him and said, "this is why I married you."

We really expected Verner's on Rt 113 out by Collegeville to be similar to The Farmer's Daughter. Boy was I wrong! Verner's is pumpkin patch paradise! Given it was a nice day, the place was packed with kids and didn't see one who wasn't grinning like a jack-o-lantern!

For the year and under crowd, there's a little farmville area with a horse, a pony, some goats, pigs, chickens, and bunnies. My daughter finally got to see a horse up close and was jumping for joy!

There was also an interesting tractor pull of sorts where a train of wagons were hitched to a large John Deer. Adults seemed to be enjoying the ride too!

Speaking of tractors there were trike tractors and a small hay racetrack for the toddlers as well as hay bail and mini corn mazes. If I were a kid here I would be in seventh heaven. I actually fantasized about taking my baby here next year again so she could partake in some of the older kid activities.

As if this wasn't enough, Verner's offers free pumpkin painting and scarecrow making stations and hayrides! The only charge is $5 for a TWO ACRE corn maze...which is simply the biggest corn maze I have ever heard of.

Verner's also has a pick your own apples orchard, great cider, and lots of homemade food made to order. Honestly, you could spend the day they and not get bored.

Unfortunately they are closed Sundays, so make your plans for next Saturday, and I'll see you back out there!

Pumpkin Patches and Apple Cider!

Autumn is in the air and the urge for apple cider and pumpkin patches has taken over! We finally settled on visiting The Farmer's Daughter on Rt 724 past the WaWa.

Farmer's Daughter is perfect family fun. They have corn makes, hayrides, and tons of pumpkins! They also have a great produce section indoors and the best cider I've ever tasted!

We made a day of it and had a picnic there (lots of tables for eating what you buy!)

We'll be checking out other pumpkin patches in the area such as Varner's Farms on rt 113 or Linville in Media. If anyone has other holiday suggestions post them here!
