We visited the Sherman's Farm located in East Conway, NH in order to pickup our holiday pumpkin's.We took a nice "hayless" hayride around the permiter of a very large corn maze to the pumpkin field.
Most of the pumpkins in the field were in really rough shape with many rotted and moldy pumpkin (probably because we were late this year in picking them out and perhaps because of the wet cold summer). The kids were able to walk around a bit and find two in good shape. The "hayride" waits for everyone to pick their pumpkin before returning to the entrance.
The "hayride" was $4 per person (children under 4 free) and our medium size pumpkins were about $5 each. The $4 admission charge allows for you to visit the goals and jump in the corn seeds. They had a few food vendors serving kettle corn, hot dogs, etc. They had a a cow tractor ride for the young kids for $1 and a shooting game.
If rain wasn't in the forecast and I didn't injure my foot I would have considered entering the Maize. The Maize cost is $8 per person. I'm not sure if that includes the hayride.
It was a fun way to spend the morning but it would have been more economical to purchase the pumpkins at Walmart but pumpkin picking is one of family traditions.
