Get into the season with all things autumn at this family farm just northwest of town in Brookshire. Find your great pumpkin or enjoy one of more than thirty attractions.
Dewberry Farm has the standard Houston pumpkin patch for those adorable seasonal pictures with the kids, but they have cultivated more than just pumpkins. These guys are all about entertaining the kids for the day.
General admission gets you plenty of farm-style entertainment. Cheer on your favorite sow at the pig races, laugh at the chicken puppet show, and try your navigational skills at the corn maze. You can also ride the barrel train, the giant slide and the trampoline. Be sure to catch the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Sure, its close enough to walk, but you’d miss the commentary of the knowledgeable hayride driver sharing his tidbits about the history of this working farm. The pumpkins are $.50 a pound so load up. You can grab a wheelbarrow to help you carry your load to the checkout stands.
While you’re out picking pumpkins, you can also pick a bouquet of fresh wildflowers grown in fields at the farm. You’ll pay a few dollars per cup and makes a beautiful centerpiece on the cheap. There are some add-on activities for additional fees, such as the pony rides, feeding the goats, and launching corn cobs from a cannon. The Mustang Sally Carousel is new for the 2013 season.
We highly recommend buying your tickets online as the lines can be long. We also suggest bringing cash because the ATMs have been empty in the past and credit cards are not accepted. Dewberry offers multiple food options and outside food and drinks are not permitted. Also new this year is The Nest, an air- conditioned nursing room and changing station so trips to the farm are more convenient for those nursing or diapering. But do wear your Halloween costumes and get ready for a great day on the farm.
