Welcome to the Gust Brothers Pumpkin Farm-- You just may want to head straight for the Donut Barn for fresh baked goods, fresh brewed coffee, apple fritters, pumpkin donuts, and lots more.
The perfect place for your family photo is right here.
Fuzzy friends are found everywhere at Gust.
Well Hello!
Cows are so sweet and cuddly and irresistible, especially with names like Blondie and Buttercup.
Thank you for showing off your photogenic side too. Because everybody loves cows.
Piglets! With piglety curly tails!
Must. Feed. Goats.
Heading back outside, where to next?
There is so much space to stretch your legs and roam, and breathe in the fresh air , though it is a bit muddy from the rain. Wear your ourdoor shoes!
Plenty of places to sit and relax, socially-distanced style.
The Bunny Barn! Who is more adorable, cows or bunnies?
The U-Pick Flower Field goes on forever. Stunning fall flowers.
Is it time to pick pumpkins in the U-Pick field? Acres of pumpkins await!
Or there are millions of pumpkins already picked, just plop a couple in the wagon. But leave room for the gourds, produce, corn shocks, and...maybe go back up front and grab an extra wheelbarrow too. The market is next.
The Gust Farm Market is very welcoming, and full of amazing produce, homemade Amish jam, maple syrup, honey, fall wreaths, and more!
So much wonderful, country-fresh deliciousness to take home with you!
There she is, Terese Gust hard at work in the Gust Farm Market. She has her own personal her "Haunted Sylvania" tote, where on earth did she get one of those!
