Fall Grand Opening

September 30

We are getting ready for another amazing season of aMAZEing fun, 20+ attractions, a petting farm … and pumpkins! Get lost in our tall sorghum maze, enjoy wagon rides and the Pumpkin Patch! Stay after dark on Friday and Saturday nights to explore the maze with a flashlight (it’s NOT haunted).

Don’t forget to stop by the Calf-A for juicy hamburgers, hand-dipped corn dogs, and belly-filling chili. Got a sweet tooth? Enjoy a fresh oven-baked chocolate chip cookies or a sticky candied apple!

Repurposing Pumpkins

Halloween is over and it’s time to put that slumped over Jack-O-Lantern to better use. Here are some great ways to reuse your holiday pumpkins!

Awesome Compost
Turn your decaying Jack-O-Lanterns into plant-loving compost for the garden. Remove all candles or battery-operated tea lights along with any other decorations attached to the pumpkin (ribbons, googly eyes, etc.). Pumpkins that have been painted, coated in sealant, or covered in glitter cannot be composted. Be sure to remove all the pumpkin seeds as well. Failure to do so could result in your very own pumpkin patch!

Fall Feeder
Hollow out one side of your leftover pumpkin and fill with bird seed. If you have a bunch of baby pumpkins, you can tie a bit of cord at the top and hang the small feeders from trees in your yard. Your winged-friends will adore them!

Critter Treats
All kinds of animals, including squirrels and birds, would be very happy to munch on leftover pumpkins. Pumpkins are an excellent source of source of vitamin E, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and essential fatty acids.
