It's been a while since you've heard from us and you might be wondering what a pumpkin farm does all summer before those lovely orange things are ready for pickin'. We're preparing for YOUR visit this Fall!!!! Here's just a glimpse of what we've been doing this summer.

Now it's not everyday that Jon and Jerry go flying. But it's the only way we can see if all our planning and cutting have paid off in the corn field. Here's a bird's eye view of our corn maze this year! Think you can conquer it?

And of course, we've been growing pumpkins!

Folks really enjoyed watching our ducks race last year! So we thought we'd add some more runners this Fall. Meet our newest athletes here at Hickory Creek Farms, and our new track for them to run on! Opening day is Saturday, September 24th. Can't wait! Ya'all come!!!

Have A Nice Fall!

Just wanted to let you know that our Fall season has started and runs through the month of October!!!

If pumpkins are what you want you may either pick your own or choose one from our display... anytime except Saturday and Sunday afternoon when you're invited to join us for Family Fun Days.

If you are wanting to add lots of fun activities to pumpkin pickin', come see us Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1PM-7PM. Admission is $7 (children under 2 are free). Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and peacefully stroll our real life farm. Admire farm animals in the Critter Corral. Watch firsthand the art of rope making, hay baling, and apple cider making (when available). Kids 9 and under will enjoy or Pumpkin Playground. And there's more...

Root for your favorite duck in our first ever REAL LIFE duck races!! Watch our new Punkin Chunkin' Catapult launch pumpkins. Jump in the hay wagon and enjoy a scenic ride through the timber. The kids will want to board the Hickory Creek Express (our barrel train) for a jaunt around the farm. And don't forget to get lost in our corn maze. If just takin' it easy on a bench drinkin' apple cider, enjoying the fresh country air is your forte', feel free to do that too!!

Whatever you choose you will make memories that will last for a lifetime!

Speaking of making memories last, how long has it been since you had a family picture taken? Don Runyon with Treasured Images in Pittsburg is planning to be with us on October 16-17. He's got some great affordable packages and will be available to take your picture behind the barn!

So plan to join us this Fall!

Plan Now

What better place to have a family reunion than on the farm.

Begin planning now to meet up with your family at Hickory Creek Farms. There are things to do for every age group.

The grandkids can ride horses, ride on the train with Grandma, milk a cow and ride on a tractor...

While the aunts, uncles, and grandparents watch the fun!

At the end of the day you can all enjoy a hayide together!!

Come on out for some family fun!

All Shapes and Sizes

If you come and see us right now you will see pumpkins of all shapes, colors and sizes. What Fun!

We can't wait until our fall season opens on September 25th!!! Hope to see YOU then!

Corn Maze

Our corn maze is cut and ready for YOU!!

Come venture through it this fall beginning the last week of September or earlier for groups. Just give us a call to schedule a time!!

...and as you can see our pumpkins are growing nicely and will be ready and waiting for you to choose one of your very own later on in the fall.

Already?!

Five days later and they are up! We've got pumpkin plants!

Pumpkin Plantin Time

So many people have asked us when we plant pumpkins...Well, it's pumpin plantin' time!

We started earlier this week and hope to finish by the end of the weekend. Can't wait to see ORANGE!

But, that will be a while...anywhere between 90-120 days, depending on the variety.

So.........now we wait!
