Farmer Ed said:
“Creating a pumpkin event on this scale is something I’ve dreamed of for years. From teens to grandparents, couples to families, we want everyone to feel the autumn magic. We can’t wait to welcome our first guests from September 27th.”
Tickets to Farmer Ed’s Pumpkin Patch can be purchased online, however, entry to the patch is also included in tickets for Piglets’ hugely popular Spooktacular Halloween event.
Pumpkin growing has been part of Piglets for over 20 years, with Farmer Ed and his father planting each season. Now, with his two young sons growing up on the farm, the tradition looks set to continue for generations.
Farmer Ed’s Pumpkin Patch is just the beginning of new farm-based experiences under the “Farmer Ed” name – with more exciting plans on the horizon.
