Pumpkins: Just the Beginning of Fall Fun at Brown's Harvest

Once the fall wind begins to blow, leaves begin to turn and cover lawns across town, it's virtually impossible to keep your attention from turning to Brown's Harvest and its popular pumpkin patches.

With about twenty-eight different types of pumpkins grown right here in Windsor, Brown's is an autumn wonderland full of seasonal fun for families to enjoy.

With such a variety of gords on display and for sale it's only appropriate each has been given a unique name. There are "Cinderella," "warts-galore," "cotton candy," "fairy tale," "black night," "lunch lady," and more; but the pumpkins are just the tip of the entertainment iceberg at the Poquonock Avenue farm plot.

Open daily from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. through the end of October, Brown's has a schedule chalk full of special youth and family activities planned, highlighted by their popular hayrides on weekends.

This weekend alone, Brown's is scheduled to have a movie night hosted by Spookley the Square Pumpkin in addition to Trevor "The Games Man," The Guitar Dudes and Hunter Hill Alpacas.

Brown's corn maze, which has been tailored to entertain youth aged 2 through 12, cider donuts made on site, pumpkin ice cream and mums for sale offer a day of smiles for any age.
