Church website and email from the church's webmaster, 25 Sep 2026

How these were checked

Each listing was built from the farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages, then confirmed by email where those pages disagreed with one another. The date of that check sits on every listing above.

Four farms have told us something their own websites got wrong. Rosehill's opening was pushed back by a delivery delay; the patch now opens on 26 September. Harvest Season Farms is running October weekends only, not the six-week season their site advertises — and 2026 is their last pumpkin year. HALTER's site shows last year's weekend. Old MacDonald's own pumpkin page shows an out-of-date price, and the farm confirmed $21.00 plus tax is correct.

Spot something that has gone stale? Say so and it gets fixed.

By town

Farms sit outside the city limits, so a farm often appears on several town pages. Same checked data on each.
