Fort Vannoy is hosting their annual Fall Harvest Festival this year, starting on Oct. 1, 2022.

You can enjoy a variety of different activities that Fort Vannoy has to offer such as: picking out pumpkins, riding on the cow train, trying to escape the corn maze, and enjoying food from their many vendors.
FORT VANNOY HISTORY
Fort Vannoy Farms has been around since 1923. At the start, Fort Vannoy was originally a dairy farm until 1962, when it was changed to crop production. The farm is owned by the Crouse Family who, to this day, keep the farm traditions alive. On Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm, Fort Vannoy has a self-serving farm stand with fresh produce, located at the farm.

At Fort Vannoy Farm, there are eight acres of pumpkin patches with a wide selection to choose from. For $.39/lb, select any kind of shape, size, or color of pumpkin to take home, carve, or just use for decoration. Grab a wheelbarrow and enjoy the day picking out the perfect pumpkins!
COW TRAIN
The cow train is a fun and bumpy ride at Fort Vannoy Farm. Choose a cart and enjoy the ride with all your friends and family for $6 per person. As an ATV pulls the carts through a dirt course, passengers will be bumped around, go up and down hills, and go in loops. This is a great way to spend time with the people you love most!
