Fall is beautiful in Lake County. The leaves are starting to change and the air is crisp. The stores and catalogs have all of the Halloween decorations and costumes out and ready. Visiting Didier Farms really does get you in the fall holiday spirit. Reese and I visited during their annual Pumpkin Festival. When you pull up, you see hundreds of pumpkins lined up. Pumpkins of all different sizes, shapes and even color! Hail bays line the pathway of the farm as you enter. We purchased tickets for the fun things we planned on doing, grabbed a wagon and we were on our way.

Didier Farms is a big open area. There is so much to do and see. We were not sure where to begin. After weaving in and out of the pumpkins for awhile, we came up to the pony ride. Reese took a nice long ride along with several other kids. After that we noticed a bunch of other fun rides, Reese was excited about a ride on the train.

The area we spent the most time in which was also our favorite part of our visit, was the petting zoo. We were able to see goats, chickens ducks and sheep close up. We were even able to feed them! We also saw a mama pig who just had babies – there were probably about 10 of them. The piglets were so adorable and little. Reese was amazed at seeing the newborn piglets.
We picked out our pumpkins and purchased some apple cider to take home with us from the farm stand. The farm stand had a huge variety of fruit and vegetables. We would definitely recommend a day at Didier Farms. It was such a fun and relaxing environment for a family to visit and the people working there were very helpful and friendly.
