Fall is a time for raking leaves, wearing sweaters, eating candy corn, jumping in piles of leaves someone just raked and a cornucopia of other annual autumnal activities. And if you don't go to a pumpkin patch to celebrate the start of the season, did the season really start at all? Well, yes, the season will start whether you go to a pumpkin patch or not, but you may as well take the short drive to Clinton Sease Farm and ring in the brisk weather right.
For just $1, you have unlimited pumpkin-picking access. You read that correctly: unlimited pumpkin-picking access. You can venture as far as the eye can see to find yourself the perfect pumpkin for this year's porch decor. Size matters at Sease's, since those pumpkins go for $0.70 per pound.
But maybe pumpkins aren't really your thing — that's fine. We won't judge and neither will the folks at the farm. There's a rolling sunflower field right near the field of jack-o-lanterns-to-be and a massive corn maze.
Have we not talked about the corn maze yet? Let's talk about the corn maze. It's humongous. Pay your $10 at the shed, venture through the rows of corn far taller than you, and try to get out of the 8-acre "Down on the Farm" themed maze. Bet it'll take longer than you think.
Between running around the pumpkin patch and frantically trying to escape that ridiculously colossal maze, you'll probably be pretty tuckered out and ready for a hayride. It's $2 per passenger to bump along the path to visit the cows. That's right, you can take the hay-filled express down to the pasture, learn about the rest of the farm and give the heifers a smile and a wave.
