MMMMMM Pie
We have take and bake apple pie and apple crisp available at the farm. There are two versions of apple pie available, a regular piecrust and a Dutch or crumble crust. Plus we have strawberry rhubarb pie and pumpkin pie. This just-like-homemade product keeps well in the freezer.
Reserve a Firepit
There is still time to reserve a firepit for your group. We ask for a minimum of 10 paid admissions for the group experience. Bring your own food, beverages and enjoy the camaraderie around the LP-firepit and a group hayride. Please contact us on the Web site or via e-mail to reserve a firepit. There is a $5 group fee for use of the firepit payable at check-in.
