Pumpkin Avalanche & Smash Fest, Nov 6

On Sunday, November 6, we will have a little fun. The Pumpkin Avalanche is our famous “roll a bunch of pumpkin down a big hill, watch them fly to pieces and then smash the remaining pieces.”
-At 2:00pm we need volunteers to help load the wagon with pumpkins from the patch. (The more volunteers, the more pumpkins we will have to roll!)
-At 2:30, the volunteers will have a chance to roll a single pumpkin down the hill.
-At 2:45, the Official AVALANCHE will begin. Watch the pumpkins roll and tumble, flying to pieces as the force builds…
-After the “all clear” signal, the crowd will be able to enter the meadow and SMASH any remaining pumpkins.

Note: NO ONE may be in meadow during the avalanche. Please watch the avalanche from the road bank, or the adjacent pumpkin field.

Admission Fee: Bring a donation for the Octorara Food Cupboard.

Strawberries on Monday!

The 2022 Strawberry Season starts on Monday (May 23) at 10:00am. ONLY pre-picked berries will be available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 10:00am until sold out. (As the quantity of berries increases, more days, hours and PYO will be added.) Hopefully, the Pick-Your-Own fields will open soon. Stay tuned.

Strawberry is coming soon!

The strawberry season is beginning soon, but the cold Spring weather has delayed the season by 2+ weeks.  Hopefully, we will open the Stand by May 31, and the pick-your-own fields soon after that. Stay tuned!

If you are interested in part time job picking strawberries for about 2 hours each morning (Monday- Saturday) call 610-593-5656 for details.
