Information flyer for this years fall event

Last year, one of the best compliments we received was, “It felt like we weren’t in the RGV.” We’re bringing that magic back this year by transforming our 10-acre farm into a pumpkin paradise, filled with an incredible variety of pumpkins in all shapes, colors, and sizes. With countless photo ops and over 70 alpacas, you’re sure to capture some Instagram-worthy moments. A viral vlogger even called us the most “Instagrammable farm” in the area!
