It is that time of year!  Where apple cider is the drink of choice, the leaves are changing, the weather is crisp and pumpkin everything is all the rage.  While you may be enjoying pumpkin-flavored drinks, beer, cookies, pies, etc. it is also time to get your pumpkins for carving!  There are plenty of places in Hancock County to do so, check out some of our recommendations below:

Homestead Fall Farm has everything you can imagine to prepare your home for Fall.  There are pumpkins that you can collect from the patch, multi-colored corn and corn stalks, sunflowers, gourds, a great gift shop, and much more!  Add in on the fun by playing a round of ‘Punkins and Putters’ putt-putt golf, find your way in the corn maze, play on the playground, go on a hay ride or a barrel train ride.
