Millennium Farms Pumpkin Patch began when we grew our first pumpkins in May 2003. We opened for business in September, and we sold pre-picked pumpkins & gourds out of our yard, and provided a petting zoo in our barn. We had local schools visiting the farm on field trips during the weekdays.

The following year, Spring/Fall 2004, we planted a 2-acre field close to the house and offered a U-Pick for families to walk out and pick their own pumpkins, and still offered pre-picked assortments of pumpkins and gourds for sale. We added a few more animals to our petting zoo, and built a Straw Maze that year, which everyone enjoyed. The number of schools scheduling field trips grew rapidly, and our small little pumpkin patch was a huge attraction to local families & schools.
Millennium Farms
In 2005, we began offering pumpkin hayrides to our pumpkin field were families picked their own pumpkins. Also, we planted our first Corn Maze, and brought in an Inflatable Bounce House, which was a huge attraction to those who visited the farm. Our weekdays became booked with school tours, and word began to spread about our pumpkin farm, and we started having visitors from miles away coming to our pumpkin farm. We were astonished and could not believe our small pumpkin venture which started just 3 short years ago, had turned into an Agri-tourism Business right before our eyes.

We couldn’t stop here, and decided we would have to add something new the next year. So, in 2006 we added the Train Barrel Rides and offered Food & Beverages. In 2007 we added pony rides. We look forward to having all of you visit the farm, enjoy the pumpkins and activities with your family and friends, and we are so honored you have chose the Millennium Farms Pumpkin Patch to help you build memories to last a lifetime! Happy Fall!
