Priddy Farms

This was my first real experience at a pumpkin patch so maybe my expectations were a little high.
The atmosphere was great for young kids and families. There were lots of bounce houses and playgrounds. There was also a cute little barrel train.
The pumpkin selection was pretty good and the prices seemed reasonable. (I usually buy my pumpkins from a tent on the side of the road.) We bought three pumpkins, two large and one small, for $ 21.
There was a short little hay ride to a «pumpkin patch» where you could pick your own small pumpkin. Cute idea. My one year old loved it.
There are several fun little photo op places set up throughout.
Now the bad: the ladies working the tent where you pay were so rude and grumpy. They seemed really annoyed when people tried to pay for an activity (you pay for everything at the end). God forbid you not know that you’re supposed to wait and pay for everything at once AT THE END. Sorry lady, I was just trying to pay you for a hay ride. Next time I’ll just take one for free. Just kidding, I’m not coming back, I’ll drive farther out of town to one of those other farms where people don’t roll their eyes at you when you’re a first time customer and don’t know their protocol.
I’m usually very giving with my stars and hate giving bad reviews, but I watched one of those ladies roll her eyes at three different customers while my family waited in line to pay for our pumpkins, and she was rude to my husband when he tried to pay for something before we were ready to leave.

We stopped Friday afternoon to look at the trees. No one at the business came out. Another gentleman pulled up after us. From what we saw the trees had sun damage and were pricey. We left along with the guy that came in behind us. We went and got our tree at Big Jim’s Tree Lot. Much better prices and great customer service.

As pumpkin patches go, this one is a-​okay. Closer than the Disneyland of pumpkin patches down in Mississippi, this pumpkin patch is small but offers many recreational activities: a hayride to pick a pumpkin from the ground, a miniature barrel train, a scarecrow stuffing station, and a large play structure to climb on. Everyone was having a good time, and it seemed like many people had made an afternoon of hanging out with the kids here. The only reasons that this patch gets 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 were difficulty parking (somewhat understandable as this is not a tourist attraction but a real farm with some close neighbors — just be prepared to go very slowly in the grassy lot and watch out for other drivers/​kids on foot) and the demeanor of the folks working the table to be paid. Maybe having kids traipse all over the farm makes them grumpy, or maybe it was an off day — but either way, a smile would have gone a long way toward making us feel welcome.

The Priddys open their farm for one month in the fall and you should make sure to visit. A private farm in Bartlett, Priddy’s Farm offers hayrides, a pumpkin patch, bonfires, tractor rides and large playgrounds for the kiddies.
Bring some of your kids’ old clothes and grab some stuffing to make your very own scarecrow. Kids may also pick their own pumpkins.
Group rates are available so this is a great place for a fall party. Come back in the winter at the end of November to choose your Christmas tree.

A fun place to go for a pumpkin, and hay ride in the fall and a Christmas tree in the winter. It’s located on a family farm in Bartlett.
The fall times and hours are September 26 — October 31

You can reserve times for groups and birthday parties during the fall. My son had his 3^rd birthday party here and it was perfect for that age. It would be a great place for a youth group outing or a class field trip.
