It’s been hammer down here at The Ranch this past month. The list seems to never end, yet when opening day arrives it seems to be done enough. We have an incredible support staff! If you’ve never been to The Pumpkin Ranch, I can’t wait for you to meet them. They all showed up Saturday and Sunday to clean, prep, haul, pick…you get the idea! And things are looking great! The biggest thrill for our kids is testing the zip line and climbing on all of the straw bales Dave has used to build houses, tunnels, etc.
