Bring the family for a day or night down on the farm! There's endless fun, including apple picking & sunflowers (while supplies last), pumpkin picking, wagon rides, LIVE music, tasty food, spirited drinks, loads of activities for the kiddos + Eerie Illuminations...a super fun Halloween light show.








An annual trip to Pumpkinland has been a family tradition for generations of Delaware Valley Residents. During September and October, Pumpkinland takes center stage at Linvilla Orchards. Larger-than-life figures and scarecrows illustrate the legends and lore of the harvest season, local history, and some of the many stories of pumpkins and apples.

Our annual pumpkin harvest season at Milky Way Farm runs Sept 23-Oct 29, 2023. For Saturdays and Sundays, purchase $5 admission tickets for each person. Wander through the corn maze, take family photos, visit the farm animals, and stroll to one of our pumpkin patches through our farm meadow as part of your 2-hour experience. New this year, purchase a $9 admission ticket and also be able to hop on one of our ticketed hayrides to a different pumpkin patch.

Arasapha Farm is re-opening this year with lots of new additions and family fun. The corn maze has been planted, and new games make it more fun than ever. Other activities include pumpkin picking. This includes a Hayride to the Corn Maze and back to the courtyard. Our picnic areas and other activities are available for Birthday parties, family reunions, and other gatherings. Parties include a jump on the pillow bounce, pallet maze, tractor and truck playground, and corn cannons.

Pick-your-own pumpkin patch with a free hayride out to the fields.  Beyond the patch, you can find pumpkins and gourds in all sizes and colors, corn stalks, straw bales, a corn maze, and more.   





Ride a tractor-drawn wagon out to the pumpkin patch, where you can spend as long as you want to select the perfect pumpkins for every member of the family. Be sure you bring along your camera for some priceless photos. Of course, you can also just take the hayride and get your pumpkins on another weekend.

The Great Pumpkin Carve

In Chadds Ford

October 22-24

Cooler temperatures and falling leaves can mean only one thing – it's time to mark calendars for The Great Pumpkin Carve. At 5 p.m. on October 22 the artists will begin carving huge pumpkins in the grove behind the Chadds Ford Historical Society's Barn. Growers at S.I.W. Vegetables of Chadds Ford promise that this year's pumpkins will be "monstrous" in size. At nightfall the pumpkins are lit and the judges are ready to tackle the difficult job of choosing winners among 60+ hauntingly carved masterpieces.
A "People's Choice" award means that visitors can be judges and vote for their favorite pumpkin. Hunt Country Furniture of Chadds Ford will donate prizes for the carvers.
On Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24, is the Great Pumpkin Show. With the winners identified, the lit pumpkins will be displayed in all their ghostly glory. Live music, hot food and cozy hayrides will be available all three evenings.
This event is a Chadds Ford tradition in which carvers and visitors return year after year.
The Concordville-Chadds Ford Rotary will once again provide valuable assistance in planning and setting up the event as well as preparing and selling as much hot cider and food as the crowd demands. This year they will provide hot food all three evenings.
