Shaffer's Pumpkin Patch
1160 Meadville Pike, Franklin, PA
About Us:
Shaffer's Pumpkin Patch was started in 1985 by Rob and Rebecca Shaffer with the help of their parents Orah and Dorothy Shaffer. They raised pumpkins for a 4-H project and had a few left over. They borrowed old clothing from their parents and created Ma and Pa farmer in their Grandma's front yard. That was such a hit with the neighbors that each year characters have been added.
In 1990 the 4-H club called the BSS'ers built a maze from corn stocks as a fund raiser. This tradition continued untiol 2002 when the mini maze was taken over by the Kappa PSi Fraternity at Pitt University. The money raised is used for the Family House in Pittsburgh Even though Rob and Rebecca have grown and moved away the tradition continues.

Coolspring Corn Maze

Cooper Farm Market
484 Cemetery Road, Falls Creek, PA
History:
The Cooper ancestors traveled from the British Isles in the early 1800's and settled in Bellefonte, Centre County, PA. In 1840, they relocated to a farm in the Village of Beechwoods, Jefferson County, PA (5 miles west of Falls Creek). Ownership of that farm has passed through the Cooper family for generations.
On nearly 200 acres of land, the Coopers have raised beef cattle, pigs, sheep and, recent additions, goats and chickens along with crops to feed the animals. The Coopers' always had a large garden from which they canned and froze vegetables for winter use. In the late 1970's, the sweet corn harvest was well beyond what Blake and Mabel Cooper's family needed. A card table was set up at the end of the driveway and they started selling produce to neighbors. Much beyond their wildest expectations, this was the start of the Cooper Farm Market. Business increased to the point where an 8 x 16 foot store was built in 1978 and the famous "Toot Horn for Service" sign was hung. While sweet corn and other summer vegetables were the initial offerings at the stand, fall crops including pumpkins, Indian corn, gourds, and corn stalks quickly became the core of the business.
Mabel Cooper always dreamed of having a pumpkin festival. Her dream came true in 1989 as the family, with much help from close friends and family, hosted the first annual Pumpkin Fest. Many Pumpkin Fests were held on the Cooper's front lawn. Family hand-made crafts, canned and baked goods were displayed on the porch. Pumpkins were lined in neat rows by size on the lawn. Indian corn, gourds and corn stalks were also aplenty. The earlier Pumpkin Fests featured old-time Country and Western music sung from the back porch of the house. Local schools, clubs and organizations visit annually to see the pumpkins and explore the farm.
In 1997, Blake and Mabel Cooper “retired” and their son, Bob and his wife Donna, took over the Cooper Farm Market. They expanded the existing business by building a new store filled with crafts, home decor and family-produced canned goods. The farm market is open from the beginning of August through October 31 and features locally-grown seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout the summer and fall. Pumpkins and apples are particular favorites in the fall. Taste of Christmas is three special weekends in November (Saturdays and Sundays only) from 10am until 5pm showcasing many hand-made items, home décor, canned and baked goods to get you in the mood for the holiday season.
Shenot Farm and Market
3754 Wexford Run Road, Wexford, PA
History:
The Shenot Family came to the Wexford area in the mid-1850's. During the early years of the farm, the operation included dairy cows, hogs and chickens, crops including apples, potatoes, grains and a few garden vegetables. Over the years each generation has focused on specific crops or products. Unfortunately, little is known about the earliest family members. Edward N. Shenot (1886-1948) grew significant acreage of potatoes. He was also known for his hard cider operation.
Edward's son, John (Bill) Wilson Shenot became renowned for growing sweet corn. At this time there was a small roadside stand along Wexford Run Road where produce was sold seasonally along with milk. In the 1960's, Bill sued the Allegheny County Health Department for the right to sell raw milk. After several defeats and appeals, Bill finally won the case in the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court. Shortly thereafter, Bill sold his dairy cows to make way for his son's crazy idea of focusing on fruits and vegetables. Bill was also a strong advocate for modern farming practices that build healthy ecosystems. He was also active in the earliest soil conservation efforts that introduced contour strip farming and cover cropping to the farm.
Bill's son, Edward (Ed) Wilson Shenot, joined his father in the operation after earning a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Penn State in 1971. This was a time of transition as cows, hogs and chickens were replaced with tomatoes, peppers and melons. Orchards have always been a major part of the farm with apples being at the core. However, Bill & Ed (father, son) were among the few in the region to have success growing peaches and nectarines.
Ed inherited the land from his parents and for many years worked along side his wife, Mary Lou and sister, Dianne. While Dianne had a full time teaching job, she eventually stepped away from the business to make room for future generations. Eventually, Ed and Mary Lou expanded the market to what you see today. This generation brought about changes to how our products were sold; what was once a small roadside shed quickly became a busy retail market built in 1972, then doubling in size in 1993. The growth of the retail market eliminated the need to haul extra produce to Pittsburgh's strip district. The business also expanded to include homemade fudge and hayrides to the pumpkin patch.
Ed and Mary Lou have 3 children (Heather, Angie and Rob) and 5 grandchildren. All of their children reside in the Wexford area, though Rob is the only one involved in the farm full time. Ed and Mary Lou live on the farm in the home they built in 1973 and are both still involved in the day to day operations of the business.
Today Ed and Rob (father, son) focus mainly on the production of a near 80 acres of sweet corn and assorted vegetables, our 20 acres of orchard and of course, our award winning apple cider! Mary Lou, Ed's wife, makes over 50 flavors of her signature fudge including caramel and fudge dipped apples as well as kettle corn. Leah, Rob's wife, oversees the events that we host throughout the year and focuses on the marketing of the business.
Rob, his wife, Leah and daughter, Pepper live on the farm in their house that Rob built in 2005. Rob graduated from Penn State University in 2001 with a degree in Horticulture. He moved back to the farm and applied his newfound knowledge of farm technology to the business. He and Leah married in 2014 and baby Pepper came along in 2016. Together, they look forward to what the farm holds for their future.

Country Creek Produce Farm

About Us:
Nestled just North of the Mason-Dixon line in Chambersburg, PA, Country Creek Produce Farm is situated right off the Conococheague Creek, allowing the free-flowing stream to play a vital part in the farm today. We started vegetable farming in 2007 with a picnic table and a handful of customers. Now there are three road-side markets in Chambersburg and we deliver to local grocery store chains and local restaurants.
My dream has always been to farm and give back to the community I grew up in. We started in 2007 and use the same 60 acres my grandfather used in the '60s. Our season begins with Pick Your Own Strawberries in late May/early June and ends with Pick Your Own Pumpkins in the fall, with over 20 varieties of vegetables and fruits throughout the summer! Our produce is picked at the peak of ripeness and typically sold the same day, so we are confident our customers are getting the most nutrition and the most flavor in our farm fresh produce. My mission is to fill as many homes in Franklin County with our produce, so that everyone can taste the difference! Whether you visit one of our road-side stands, or come out to the Corn Maze, my family and I appreciate all your support and love seeing you at our farm.
Ard's Farm

Fields of Adventure at Smithfield Farms
64 Tree Lane, Aspers, PA
About Us:
We (Chris and Debbie Smith) own a 64 acre plot of land in the midst of Apple Country and in the shadows of the beautiful South Mountain in South Central Pennsylvania. We share this experience with our 4 children, Delani, Courtney, Connor and Drew.
We purchased the property in 2005 from Dave & Freda Smiley. Prior to them the farm was owned by Carl Slaybaugh and his parents. One thing I find neat is that Chris’s grandparents lived in the very same farmhouse we currently live in when they were newly married. We moved in almost 50 years later to the day they moved in.
On our farm and other leased acreage Chris produces corn, soybeans, spelt, sorghum, hay, alfalfa, sweet corn, pumpkins and gourds. We also raise steers, hogs, chickens and turkeys for on and off farm meat sales.
We hope you’ll make lots of memories, as we are with our family, and possibly discover new paths as you venture through our fields.
Whether you’re coming from near or far, thank you for visiting Fields of Adventure!
Paulus Mt. Airy Orchards
522 East Mount Airy Road, Dillsburg, PA
About Us:
Dan and Karen purchased the orchard in 1999. The orchard is located in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. They farm about 150 acres of mostly apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, blueberries, and pumpkins.
Dan grew up on a farm in Mechanicsburg where he and his siblings grew potatoes and sold them out of the barn next to their home. As a child he thought it would be great to have enough children to have his own baseball team!
Karen grew up in the suburbs…always longing for the country and dreaming of owning a horse and other animals. As a child, Karen didn’t put much thought into how many kids she wanted…she was more concerned about saving every animal she saw and was known for bringing home all kinds of critters.
After high school, Dan went to Delaware Valley College, getting a degree in agri-business. Karen graduated high school and started attending Penn State. Once they were hours apart they thought it would be a good idea to start dating….did I mention they lived in the same town beforehand but didn’t date then? And cell phones and internet were not around yet!
After Dan graduated college, he started working for Perdue Farms, in Salisbury, MD. Dan and Karen were married and Karen finished college at Salisbury State University graduating with a degree in chemistry. For several years Dan worked in sales and Karen taught high school chemistry.
They made the big leap to move back to Pennsylvania and purchase the orchard. Dan is living out his dream of owning his own business and working outdoors.
Karen was home with their 3 children while they were young and then worked part-time for her church and as an adjunct at Messiah College. Karen never got that horse but she’s also living out a dream and couldn’t be happier.
