FAMILY FUN ON THE FARM

Every autumn, the Dinges family’s charming farmstead transforms into a spooky, silly spot for pumpkin patch adventure. Monsters and ghouls appear. A cornfield becomes a life-size maze. Little ones delight at hayrides, games, and Halloween attractions. All while the animals look on as if it’s business as usual. No tricks here—Dinges is a real deal, old school family treat.

The farm produces a fantastic variety of pumpkins and gourds, some really large and exotic. Demand for those beauties can be high, though, so visit early in the season for the very best selection.

Local Tips: Well-behaved pups are welcome, and come prepared to pay with cash or check.
