Students from Paintsville Elementary took a field trip today to one of the hottest autumn attractions in eastern Kentucky, the White Oak Pumpkin Patch. The farm which dates back into the 1800s has seen a lot of different crops over the years, but its recent turn as a tourist attraction brings in school kids from around the region. Well we started locally, my son's school Wrigley Elementary. They brought a few groups and then Morgan Central and then East Valley. So we started in Morgan County and then word caught on and we send packets out every year, but then schools also contact us, they've heard about it or seen pictures. So it's actually become a pretty big thing. I think we're going to do about 5,000 kids this season, maybe a little bit more, and we just love seeing the kids. During today's field trip, students got to wander through a corn maze, take a hayride and enjoy the petting zoo. The old field farm has passed down through the family for generations, but as small farms began to fade from the landscape, the owners started looking at ways to diversify. It was about 6 years ago, we just decided to throw out some pumpkin seeds to see how they do. This farm is a thousand acres, it's been farmed for tobacco, cattle, vegetable crops, all sorts of things over the years and we just wanted to sort of diversify and when tobacco went out, it was just a good way to bring life again to the farm. The White Oak Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal attraction opening in the fall and then again after Thanksgiving for Christmas trees and Santa Claus, coming new to the farm in 2017, a strawberry festival planned for the spring.
