Bring your friends and family to Island Farm for the 12th Annual Pumpkin Patch event. This year the Pumpkin Patch will feature  locally grown pumpkins from Chowan County by a descendant of Island Farm. Visitors can participate in historic games, wagon rides, doll crafting, candle making, free blacksmith shop giveaways, and a new lineup of fall activities. To temp your tastebuds, enjoy the very best open-fire cooked popcorn, hearth-cooked corn cakes, and delicious apple cider. In addition to the farm activities, the farm will host a variety of local artist and produce vendors.
