Wondering what to do with those carved pumpkins after Halloween? Join in the Pumpkin Chunkin' fun at Great Country Farms and watch those orange faces fly!
The Silo Drop and the Zip Wire Sploosh let you do the smashin’ yourself, or bring your pumpkin to the Pumpkin Drop Zone and add it to the upside down “fireworks display” as the pumpkins are dropped from a 40-foot lift. What happens to all those smashed pumpkins? The pigs and cows love to eat them, and the rest gets composted.
