At the Corner of Grant Road and Levin Road is a 15 acre property known lovingly as the “Pumpkin Patch.” For years it was used as a small farm that grew fresh vegetables which were sold at the on site vegetable stand. During the fall, the site was turned into a large pumpkin patch (hence it’s name) with small farm animals, hay bails and a train that took children amongst the thousands of pumpkins. In December, the property was turned into a Christmas tree lot.

There may not be too many more opportunities to enjoy the fields of flowers at the Pumpkin Patch as Summerhill Homes is developing the 15 acre parcel into a 54-unit single family home subdivision.
I go by this site almost daily. Today, I decided to stop and smell the flowers (actually take pictures). I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

It makes me sad to see this beautiful piece of natural land destroyed for the sake of profit (which i assume is what’s happening). I’ve brought my kids here since they were little for the pumpkin patch and always thought how lovely it was that something so ‘natural’ still stood here. I loved the tractors, the feeling that I was on a farm, that people grew things here, that it was not ‘developed’. I wish I had the power to stop this project and preserve the land in its untainted nature.
