Scarecrows, Pumpkins, and Gourds OH MY!

Pull out the orange sweaters, comfy shoes and pack up the kids for a journey to a fun-filled fall adventure! Just follow the windy, paved road to Sweet Berry Farm’s famous fall harvest festival, now through November 16th . This storybook backdrop of the “land of the pumpkins” offers a variety of fun activities for the whole family. Once you’ve stuffed your own scarecrow, painted your own pumpkin, taken a hay-ride, and played with the farm animals, you can rest at the picnic tables and enjoy a scoop of homemade pumpkin ice-cream. Your “munchkins” will be a-mazed in the kiddie hayfield maze and will love running wild in the wide open field! Weekend only events include face painting, pony rides, and lunch options from the Food Patch. On your way out, pick up a few pumpkins and gourds to take back home. There’s no place like Sweet Berry Farm. ….There’s no place like Sweet Berry farm…. It’s sure to become a family tradition! 8:30am-5:30pm M, T, TH, F & S 1pm-5pm Sun. Closed Wed. Look for the Sweet Berry Farm sign on FM 1431 just outside of Marble Falls. For more info and directions, go to www.sweetberryfarm.com.
