Miscellaneous Wednesdays: Pumpkinland at Linvilla Orchards

Linvilla Orchards in Media, Pa is one of my favorite places to be!  Especially while Pumpkinland is open.  Pumpkinland offers thousands of pumpkins for sale in all shapes and sizes along with other kinds of autumn decorations and a costume shop.  All along the perimeter are life size decorations and picture ops.  (Seen in the back of the picture is the GIGANTIC scarecrow that is famous to the site.)

Along with pumpkins upon pumpkins, Linvilla plays home to all sorts of animals and a newly refurbished playground.  There's always plenty to eat year round.  The Farm Market, opened all year, offers fresh produce, candies, a full bakery, and much much more!  There is an entire outdoor food section (open seasonally) with a cider stand (I highly recommend the cider doughnuts!) apple taffies, deep fried oreos, and so on... Really, try the doughnuts.

If you still haven't had enough, try the Pick-Your-Own.  This past season, I've picked peaches, blueberries, and for the first time ever, apples!  (Which I made a delicious apple crumble out of!)  Check on their website to see which fruits and veggies are in season.

During December, you can even pick-your-own Christmas tree!  My family has cut our own tree down at Linvilla for the past few years.  They offer a warm fire, marshmallows to roast, and hot cider to accompany your tree-hunting adventure!

Going back the Halloween season, Linvilla Orchards also runs "Hayrides to the Witches House."  Running through October 30th, the hayride is a family friendly ride.  A good alternative to the haunted hayrides while the kids are still young.  (Or while the adults still get nightmares...)

While I visit Linvilla all year round, it is especially magical during the fall season.  If you're in the area, I highly suggest a trip.  Go while the air is cool, the fire is lit, and the smell of Halloween is still strong!
