Love Creek Orchards; pioneers of the Texas Apple industry will be hosting the Great Hill Country Pumpkin Patch for 24th year beginning October 7th. . The event will be open to the public every Saturday, Sunday and Monday in October and open for school tours each Thursday and Friday.
“We want children to experience a day on the farm and have fun, says owner Bryan Hutzler. But we want to make it a learning experience as well. What a great way to learn about agriculture and how apples are grown and harvested. Our event is all about the harvest and life on a farm.” The Great Hill Country Pumpkin Patch will entertain and educate children at the same time! Where else can you enjoy hayrides, scarecrow building, pumpkin painting, pony rides, games and photo opportunities along with a petting zoo, apple orchard tours, cider making and processing apples on the apple line. We even have some fun events like pig races, storytelling and playing an instrument in the Great Hill Country Symphony. There is so much to do you will want to stay the whole day! Bring a picnic lunch or enjoy food from our vendors. Love Creek offers hot dogs, Hamburgers, apple pie, pumpkin pie, apple ice cream and of course, fresh squeezed apple cider. If you want pumpkins you will find the largest variety of pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, corn stalks and fall squashes and gourds available to buy.
You can’t visit the Pumpkin Patch and not visit the Apple Store that is just up the road. Famous for their Apple Pies, voted Best Apple Pie in Texas by Texas Monthly Magazine. The Apple Store makes over 50 different items made from fresh apples. We get so many orders for Apple Pie, be sure to call in your order for a fresh apple pie the day before you come to the patch. It will be ready when you head home!
