Kick-off the fall pumpkin season starting September 16th at Susanna Farms located in Lake Villa. Four-generations of Heffernans welcome guests to step back in time and share their love of the land and home-spun sense of adventure.
Children of all ages are invited to hone their orienteering skills at the farm’s five acre, ten-foot tall corn maze or children’s mini-maze, take a 30-minute hayride through the fields, channel their inner creativity while painting a totem pole, visit with the horses, pigs, goats, lambs, Scottish Highland cattle and chickens, take in the farm equipment display, visit the frog pond, try their luck at the bean bag toss or bozo buckets and cap it all with a photo opportunity at one of the many photo settings. Everyone will especially enjoy seeing Little Red, the new Scottish Highland calf born on August 7th.
Mums, decorative cabbage plants, bundles of corn stocks as well as additional ornamental plants, decorations and of course pumpkins of every size and shape are available for purchase. And the Susanna Farms Snack Shack is always open for brats, hotdogs, burgers and fall sweet treats.
Susanna Farms is a wonderful place to take the kids for a visit to a real working farm. There is nothing fancy here just farm life and all of the wonderful animals that go with it. This is great for little ones who may become overwhelmed by all of the action and crowds at many of the more commercial farms/pumpkin places.
Our family LOVES Susanna Farms! There is nothing pretentious about this place . . . just good old-fashioned family fun! It is what a pumpkin farm should be . . . no exotic animals or robotic, pumpkin-smashing dinosaurs or overpriced gift shop . . . just good old family values, mother nature and lots of home-spun fun. Love it!
