  • A visitor writes on September 23, 2009: "I drove a half hour with my 1 year old son, after seeing their website. They list they have a pumpkin patch which parents like to use for taking pictures of their children. VERY disappointed. 1. After gathering MANY items to purchase in the store, I go to pay and find out they ONLY ACCEPT CASH. I was dumbfounded in 2009 if you have a big enough operation to have a store that you don't take cards!!!! They even take Pie orders for Thanksgiving...they do this all with cash?? I don't really care-its their choice however they should REALLY consider at least listing this on their website, because I wouldn't have bothered if I saw that. 2. The pumpkin area was TINY, there couldn't of been more than maybe 75.....and they were in a box-type seclusion, so I don't know how anyone could feel invited to take pictures or sprawl through the obvious made-for-retail-section.
