We hold fall family fun-oriented "pumpkin weekends" during October at our farm in Chesapeake, VA. We grow the pumpkins on site. Customers are given cutters to take to the field, where they cut their own pumpkins off the vine. We also have horse-drawn hayrides and a small, old-fashioned play area for younger kids. New and VERY popular in 2010 was U-SHELL POPCORN--customers shell our home-grown popcorn from the cob using our antique, hand-cranked corn sheller. Brookdale Farm has become a favorite for those looking for low key, not scary, non-commercialized family fun in the fall.
