Mike’s Farm Pumpkin Patch Hayrides
One of the most popular year-round events is our fun-filled hayrides. During these rides, both kids and adults can enjoy a relaxing ride on the farm. Many of the rides seem to beak out in a “singing jubilee” that can be heard all over Onslow County!
During the month of October, the hayride takes a stop at our Pumpkin Patch. You can walk through the fields and select the perfect pumpkin to bring home. Hayrides run Tuesday & Wednesday from 1:00-5:00, Thursday & Friday from 1:00-8:00, and Saturday from 10:00-8:00. The cost is $2.00 per person for ages 3 and older. Pumpkins are weighed and run $0.79 per pound with a $4.00 minimum.
Plus, come join us for our fun fall Saturdays on the farm during the month of October. Every Saturday throughout the month (weather permitting) we will have hayrides around the farm, pumpkin picking, live music, and more! Stay tuned for our fall music lineup and more details, we can’t be more excited!
