It is the time of year for apples, pumpkins, corn mazes and donuts with cider! Oh, and don't forget the giant pumpkin drop...yea, it's a real thing!

It was a sunny fall day and I decided to take myself to the apple orchard (if I wait for a date to take me, in may be fall 2022, that happens)!

I had the best time wandering around 'Gull Meadow Farms' and discovering all the fun things they offer for a date or a family! Here are just some of the things you can do!

Where To Go

Looking at the map, I am torn at which adventure I choose to go on first. It is almost like asking the Scarecrow from the 'Wizard of Oz', which way to go. The truth is, which ever path you follow leads to fun.

Special Fun...

Family Friendly Flashlight Maze
Kalamazoo Balloon Fest (Oct. 27th - Oct. 29th)
Giant Pumpkin Drop (Oct.29th)

Waiting For the Big Drop

Can you imagine a 1,097 pound pumpkin falling from the sky? 'Henny Penny' would lose her mind. Remember the story...

"One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the cornyard when--whack!--something hit her upon the head. 'Goodness gracious me!' said Henny-penny; 'the sky's a-going to fall; I must go and tell the king.'

Then the hilarity and fun starts in the classic story! If you have not read the story yet, I highly encourage you to do so, the tale is super cute!

Remeber, you have no worries, nothing will fall on your head, but it will be really cool to watch the giant pumpkin race to the ground!

Special Treats...

U-Pick Apples
U-Pick Pumpkin Patch
Donuts
Pies
Carmel Apples
Fall Flowers

Gull Meadows Farm

If you look closely at the contents of the brown bag, muffins and donuts are at the top, and the healthy treat (pink lady apples) are at the bottom...I still bought healthy food, don't judge!

You can find Gull Meadow Farms at 8544 Gull Road in Richland!

Gull Meadow Farms

I love the bales of hay dressed up like a couple! Creative, cool and I am assuming a tone of work! These guys greet you as you pull into the farm.
