It's pumpkin time again at Devine Pumpkin Patch [http://www.devinefarms.com/Month/index.php] and, time for school to start again! Where did the summer time go? We hope you had a nice summer. It was undeniably a hot one and still is! The pumpkins are looking high-quality and we are getting the farm ready for our annual pumpkin season. As you see on the website, our Opening Day for Pumpkins & the Barrel Train Ride is Saturday, Sept. 18th. For teachers and group leaders, our field trips begin after our opening weekend! We have made a few modifications to the site. We still have the convenient booking form for you to fill out and submit. This way, we can check and see if the date you select to visit is available before we return your call.

New this year is a video about our school tours and field trips! Please click onto the General Information tab, then onto Field Trips. The video pops up on every page but the bigger version of the video is on the Field Trip tab. You will see that the video captures the essence of our farm and outlines the educational standards that our field trips meet. We look forward to your visit to Devine Farms this fall. Enjoy the rest of your summer time and the opening weeks of the new school year. We'll be right here tending to the pumpkin patch and washing out the barns in anticipation of your visit!

If you are a group leader and you are interested in bringing a group on a weekend, give us a buzz. We can explain how you can have weekend fun with your group without a reservation.

If this is your first visit, Devine Farms pumpkin patch is in Hebron, Ohio about 20 minutes from Newark, 30 minutes from Zanesville, and 30 minutes east of Columbus, Ohio.

Oh.....just in case the kids ask or you're wondering........the Bee Hives are still operational in the pumpkin patch. They arrived in July and the hives will be removed in September just before we begin to harvest the pumpkins and gourds. Bees love hot, dry conditions so they have been lovin' this summer!
