Events and Activities

Here's what's going on throughout the season!

Wagon Rides:

Starting the weekend after Labor Day, we will offer FREE wagon rides on Sunday afternoons at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00. Come join us for a scenic tour of the farm!

Make Your Own Scarecrow:

On Saturdays and Sundays after Labor Day we offer our Make-Your-Own Scarecrow Activity. You and the kids can rummage through the bins to find the most interesting combination of shirt and pants for your scarecrow. You get to create and color your scarecrow's face, stuff the clothes with hay, and we even give you the straw hat to make it official! Just give your life-size scarecrow a name and he or she will be ready to go home and join the family!

Our Annual Gourd Hunt:

2008 will be our 14th Annual Gourd Hunt! The third Sunday in October (October 19th) is the traditional date for this event with the rain date being the following Sunday (October 26th).

What's a Gourd hunt???

So what's a Gourd Hunt? Picture an Easter Egg Hunt held in the fall with colorful gourds in the place of Easter Eggs. We hide these gourds out in our peach orchard for the kids to find. We have separate areas for 5 years and under and 6 to 12. Everyone finds a gourd and everyone wins a prize from a choice of prize tables. We hide two specially marked gourds in each section. These specially marked gourds are winners of more valuable prizes.

The Gourd Hunt is free for kids 12 and under. We also host free games for the kids. There's music and we have refreshments available.

The activities take place between 1 and 3 pm. The Hunt itself takes place at 2 pm so plan on a fun day at Easy Pickin's 14th Annual Gourd Hunt!
