It doesn't have as much "glam" as Davison Orchards in Vernon BC, but it was still an enjoyable time. There is also, just down the road from this place, a "Kids Haunted Barn!" I've been here once, and it was awesome! Same road, a ways down, but it was a lot of fun.. They add to there decorations every year, they don't take them down. It's really worth checking out... They certainly have a huge field with a variety. And they have haybales and places to take pictures in their front yard."
