Fall is a very special time at Howell farm – we invite you to join us for our fall festival beginning on the second weekend in September and runs through the last weekend of October. Sample refreshments as you explore, the barn, farm yard, corn maze or pumpkin patch and visit with the farm animals.
The barn, the centerpiece of our operation. It is surrounded by hundreds of big beautiful fall mums and asters. Fresh bittersweet and Indian corn hang in the drive way. The left is full of our beautiful harvest of dried flowers and preserved foliages. The gift shop is filled with an array of dried floral harvest arrangements, wreaths, and seasonal décor. It’s a fall spectacular – a decorators dream!
The farm yard is filled with antique wagons full of pumpkins, gourds, decorative squash, straw bales and corn shocks.
The pumpkin patch, a wagon ride takes you to the pumpkin patch and corn maze, where you can search for that perfect pumpkin and explore the maze.
