As the crisp autumn air sets in and the leaves begin to change, there's no better time to plan a field trip that your students will never forget. Acres of Grace Farms in Red Boiling Springs, TN, is excited to offer an expanded, hands-on pumpkin patch experience that’s both fun and educational. Whether you're a teacher looking to immerse your students in the wonders of farming or a parent seeking a memorable day out for your little ones, our farm has something for everyone.
The Ultimate Pumpkin Patch Experience
At Acres of Grace Farms, we believe that every child should experience the joy of picking their own pumpkin straight from the vine. Our 5-acre pumpkin patch is just a short, scenic hayride away from the main farm. During this 10-minute journey, students will enjoy the sights and sounds of the countryside before arriving at the patch, where they can choose their very own pumpkin to take home.
For younger children (10 years and under), we offer the convenience of bringing the pumpkins to the farm. We can place them in a designated area for the kids to pick or hold onto them until it’s time to head back, ensuring each child receives a pumpkin as a souvenir of their visit. And for those who love to get creative, we can set up a pumpkin painting station upon request—just let us know in advance, and we’ll have all the supplies ready!
Educational Opportunities on the Farm
Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom, and our farm is the perfect place to bring lessons to life. In addition to the hands-on experience of pumpkin picking, we offer educational components that highlight the lifecycle of pumpkins. We also provide readings of our special book, Where Oh Where Does the Yellow Corn Grow, which introduces students to the fascinating process of growing corn.
Activities for All Ages
Beyond the pumpkin patch, Acres of Grace Farms is filled with a variety of activities designed to entertain and engage children of all ages. Your field trip includes access to:
Playgrounds: Let the kids burn off energy with our fun and safe play areas.
Slides and Obstacle Course: Challenge your students with physical activities that are as fun as they are healthy.
Mini Excavators: Kids can operate real mini excavators for a truly hands-on experience.
Petting Zoo: Meet and greet some of our friendly farm animals.
Hamster Wheels and Bounce Houses: Non-stop fun that will keep the kids entertained for hours.
Mud Kitchens, Duck Race, and More: Creativity and competition combine in these interactive exhibits.
For those interested in an additional experience, gem mining is available at a small extra cost, with prices varying based on the size of the mining bag. While mini pumpkins are included with admission, larger pumpkins are available for purchase at an additional fee.
Comfort and Convenience
We want your visit to be as comfortable as it is fun. Our farm is equipped with on-site restrooms, including a family and handicap-accessible stall. When it's time to eat, we have a heated and cooled indoor area with tables and chairs, perfect for a lunch break. And don’t forget to stop by our gift shop, where you can find farm-related items and, soon, a selection of snacks and drinks.
