One thing that I love about fall is the many fun activities for the whole family to enjoy minus the scorching heat of the sun. The weather was gorgeous on Sunday – the sun was shining but the air was crisp and cool – so we hit the road and drove to the neighboring town of Hendersonville to visit a pumpkin patch. This was the same pumpkin patch that we visited four years ago, Grandad’s Apples N’ Such.
With its location not too far from where we live, and not too far from the heart of Hendersonville, as its name entails, Grandad’s not only offers apples from its apple orchard, they also have a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, barnyard animals and a country store to buy food to snack on while having fun at the park.
And that’s exactly why I chose to go there again. It’s like a one stop shop for some family fall fun not to mention, admission is free! They’ve also added new things that were not there the first time we went, a giant jumping pillow and a hay stack. My son felt he’s too old for those, so we enjoyed ourselves watching the little kids having a good time.
The apples were all picked, but it was still fun roaming around the orchard and seeing the trees and the apples that have fallen on the ground which looked like potatoes, by the way.
And we were late for the pumpkins too. These were the only pumpkins left. I surely didn’t think they would be gone so soon!
They also have a goat in their barn now. We only saw a llama before. That was the goat up there on that ledge enjoying the food he was being fed.
There was a donkey now too which we found to be so cute!
Love this photo of our little kiddo and he has surely grown taller. He’s five feet now. Don’t be deceived. The part of the ground where he was standing was not level. 🙂
It is always fun to visit a farm at this time of year. Makes me want to have a farm myself.
How about you? Have you done any family fall fun activities lately?
That sounds like so much fun! I love to take my kids to farms like this. It’s such a great bonding experience.
We go to a local farm like this every fall. It’s a great way to bond, and who can say no to animals?
That looks the perfect place to spend a sunny fall day!! WE go to a place very similar near our house! I can’t wait!
Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of year because you can spend tons of time outside and the weather is absolutely gorgeous. Looks like you found a great farm to explore!
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I love that silo!
I love going to pumpkin patches and apple orchards this time of year. Fall is my favorite, its just so beautiful outside. Not too hot not to cold. It’s always fun when the farms have some of their animals out for visiting.
Sounds like a lot of fun – reminds me whenever we go out of town with my family, we go to farms and such as well.
This sounds like so much fun. I love all of the cute animals and can’t wait to head out to our local pumpkin farm this weekend to see some for ourselves. I love places like this!
That looks like so much fun! I love that they have those little height measure signs so you can track growth each year!
That looks like a lot of fun. My girls would enjoy something like this. I didn’t go to one this year, but hopefully next year.
Looks like so much fun. That is a good place to take my kids. I bet they have fun
We always hit the same pumpkin farm and get pictures. There’s an apple orchard we try to go to every other year also that has tons of stuff to do.
Apple and pumpkin picking is so much fun. It’s a staple for us to do as a family during the fall season.
What a fun place to visit! My daughter is reading over my shoulder and she wants to take a trip and go to this farm. So many fun activities to do during the fall.
