Upcoming Events

It's a busy time of year around here right now and we've been seeing lots of you coming out for a visit. Thanks! We really appreciate that. I wanted to take a minute to put up some information related to the next couple of weekends. This weekend, October 4 & 5, we'll be set up at Lincoln Days Festival in downtown Hodgenville. If you're coming to the festival be sure and stop by for a visit. Joanna will be taking care of the booth in town, and Jeremy will be keeping things going at the farm. We'll be open as usual from 9am - 6pm Saturday. On Sunday, we'll be open from 1-6 pm. We'll have hayrides to the pumpkin patch, the corn maze, our play areas, and our bouncy castle. We'll also have hamburgers & hot dogs, caramel apples & apple turnovers fresh from the kitchen. We have a great selection of pumpkins and other fall items, ready for you to decorate your home or business. Make us your one stop for all you fall items!

Next Saturday, October 11th will be our 5th Annual Pumpkinfest here at the farm. We'll have live music, pumpkin painting and the folks from Green River Cattle Company will be grilling ribeye sandwiches, hamburgers, beef brats, and hot dogs. That's in addition to our normal weekend activities. A highlight of this year festival will be free tethered hot air balloon rides from 5-7 pm sponsored in part by LaRue County Farm Bureau Insurance Agency. We're hoping for a big crowd at the end of the day to enjoy this special treat, so plan to come early, have a big day, and then finish it off with a balloon ride. Pumpkinfest is a great day for us and for you, so plan on bringing the whole family out for a great time at Hinton's Orchard.
