A Real Fall Highlight: Brookfield Farms Pumpkin Patch!
Hey all,
One of the great things that happens in our neighborhood at this time of year: Brookfield Pumpkins opens to the public for a fall celebration!
Created by Sam and Mary Jane Roop and their three children in 1996, the Brookfield Farms Pumpkin Patch has been in operation every fall since then. This year, following Farmer Sam’s retirement, Kelsey and Dan Maslen and their three children continue the tradition as the new owners of Brookfield Pumpkins.
Brookfield offers hayrides to their 15 acre Pumpkin Patch (where you can pick your own pumpkin), a corn maze (whose proceeds are donated to charities), a farm animal petting zoo, and other activities to entertain your children. It’s a great experience and an opportunity to take home the perfect pumpkin for Halloween! And we know you’ll like seeing the farm itself, which always makes us feel like we’re walking around in a carefully tended garden.
We hope you’ll visit Brookfield Pumpkins to enjoy a special family adventure that has become a tradition in our area.
You’ll find Brookfield Farms at 8302 Ramsburg Rd, Thurmont, MD 21788, just up the road from Links Bridge. The Pumpkin Patch is open September 27 through Oct 31. Mon-Thurs 3pm-6pm. Fri-Sun 10am-6pm. Visit www.BrookfieldPumpkins.com for more information.
Best wishes for a great October!
Bob & Joan
