This winter Cameron is adding a water line into the pumpkin patch field! We are going to expand the size of our pumpkin patch so we can grow more. Plus we will be planting more varieties of pumpkins, including luminas, cinderellas and some BIG ones.
Welcome! We are a family owned farm in Spanish Springs, Nevada. We host field trips and events, board horses, sell eggs and produce we grow, and are open to the public during a PUMPKIN PATCH that is open each October!

New Additions to the Farm
We recently added 2 unique animals to our farm. Please welcome Gandalf and Aragorn - our Emus! (pronounced ee-moo or ee-mew)
Emus are very interesting birds. They will eat just about anything, are very curious and like to play in water. See the pictures below.
Emus are from Austrailia and are the 2nd largest flightless bird, (the largest are Ostriches). Emus are very friendly but their curious nature causes them to peck at most things (which is anoying if you happen to be in their pen fixing something). They can run very long distances at a time and can sprint up to 31 mph. Emus have a nail on their toes, like a knife, which is used in kicking away predators. They can go a long time without food, which is good because the boy emus will sit on the emu eggs until they hatch.

That is one big bird bath!
