Welcome to the patch! A real working family farm rooted in tradition, built with love, and open to all. We’re here so families can make lifelong memories, no matter the season or your budget.

-
Over 70 kinds of u-pick pumpkins, squash, and gourds (10 acres!)
-
32 colors of homegrown mums—one of the largest fields in the area.
-
Fresh-cut Christmas trees (70+ displayed indoors).
-
Interactive hayrides, tall-corn maze, and a one-of-a-kind kids’ area.
-
Petting zoo, goats, and hands-on activities for all ages.
-
Ag-education field trips (hosting 2,500+ kids each October!)
-
Seasonal vendor events, decorating services, and more!
At The Patch, you’re not just a visitor, you’re part of our story. This farm is my dream come true, inspired by childhood memories with my mom and fueled by my love for agriculture, animals, and family. Watching you make memories here brings me so much joy.
We know life is expensive, but fun and tradition shouldn’t be. That’s why we work hard to keep The Patch affordable, welcoming, and packed with homegrown hospitality.
Our Farm, Our Family, Our Story
Meet The Family
Welcome to The Patch, our family’s dream come true. I started this farm with a heart full of memories from my own childhood, inspired by days spent with my mom at a local agritourism farm back in Ohio. After she passed, I wanted to create a place where families could slow down, make memories together, and feel right at home—just like I did growing up. With the support of my husband Adam and my dad, what began as a small dream has blossomed into a farm full of laughter, learning, and tradition. Whether you’re picking pumpkins, wandering our corn maze, or just soaking in the season, we’re so grateful you’re here and hope The Patch becomes a special place for your family, too.
From our family to yours, welcome home.
