While getting to Bates Nut Farm can be a drive for most visitors it is a fun autumn day with beautiful scenery. The petting zoo has a variety of small animals, and there are pony rides too. There is a hay ride, corn maze, and endless pumpkins. The shop always has yummy treats to take home as well!
My husband and I have made it a tradition to go to this farm each year to pick out our pumpkins for the past 10 years. Now that we have a daughter we couldn't imagine stopping now! This is a true pumpkin patch! Hay rides, Corn Mazes, and patches full of pumpkins. You have the option to select a pumpkin from a pile or adventure into the feild and find the perfect one! The normal pumpkins are surprisingly well priced but the big ones can break the bank! There is also a craft faire and shop on site that offers holidays gifts!
