New Jersey Pumpkin Patch Urges Visitors to Stop Damaging Pumpkins

Problems at the Pumpkin Patch

• 🎃 Pumpkin patches are facing issues with visitors damaging pumpkins, with some people sitting on them for photos and others deliberately smashing them.
• 📸 The owners are warning visitors to stop this behavior, especially since 95% of people behave well, but a few are causing significant problems.
• 💔 It's disheartening to see kids deliberately smashing pumpkins while parents either do nothing or find it amusing.

Farm Activities and Attractions

• 🍎 The farm offers alternative activities like an apple blaster, described as a giant gun that shoots apples up to a thousand feet.
• 🌽 Visitors can also enjoy corn blasters and navigate a famous corn maze, which this year features Elmo and Big Bird.
• 🐾 The farm also has a variety of animals to pet, including baby cows, donkeys, chickens, sheep, miniature pigs, and goats.

Protecting and Selling Pumpkins

• 💰 Pumpkins that are not damaged sell for $10 to $20 a piece.
• 🌱 The farm has protected the pumpkins since June, fighting against deer, weather, and groundhogs to ensure a good crop.
• 🍩 For those looking to indulge, the farm also offers cider donuts.
