Autumn is incomplete without the quintessential pumpkin treats - pies, spice, and the annual Pumpkin Carving with Goats event at Pactamere Farm. This fall festival offers a bounty of gourds, friendly farm animals, and festive decorations.
Head to Pactamere's brand new pumpkin patch to select the perfect pumpkin, then carve or paint it alongside the farm's adorable, nibbling goats in the pasture. All necessary tools, paints, and brushes will be provided.
In addition to the goats, you can meet other Pactamere residents, including two mini pigs (Johnny & June) and a fluffy alpaca crew, all eager for attention and treats. After carving, take your pumpkin and seeds home in a provided plastic bag.
To keep you fueled, hot cider, cocoa, and snacks will be available for purchase, with a cozy bonfire perfect for making s'mores. Brave visitors can even venture into the haunted "Boo Barn" for a spooky good time.
Tickets are online-only, with farm entry at $15 per person and pumpkins ranging from $8-$16. Children 2 and under get in free. The event runs from September 21st through October 31st, with limited arrival time slots to ensure an enjoyable experience. Rain or shine, the pumpkin carving will move indoors if needed. No refunds or outside pumpkins allowed.
