Not Open for 2026...

This is a post we never wanted to make, but due to the current economic climate, we’ve made the difficult decision to not open the pumpkin patch this season.

​

Many of you know that we also own other seasonal businesses. Like many small businesses, we’ve seen a significant decline in sales this year. Based on our experience and the projections we use to plan each season, we simply cannot make opening the patch financially sustainable this year.

​

We have never operated the patch with the goal of getting rich. In fact, last season our profit was less than five thousand dollars. We do this because we genuinely love it. Our family loves it, our kids love it, and creating a place where our community can gather each fall has always been the greatest reward. However, like any small business, we have to make responsible financial decisions, and this year’s projections indicate we would operate at a substantial loss.

​

While this decision is heartbreaking, we fully intend to reopen next year if conditions improve. We sincerely appreciate your understanding, your encouragement, and the support you’ve show our family over the years.  

 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the patch as soon as we can. Thank you for being a part of our story – we can’t wait to see you again.

​

Thank You

Lauren, Chris and the Kids
