Iron Kettle Farm

CANDOR, N.Y. -- For the 47th year in a row, Iron Kettle Farm in Candor will be kicking off their Fall Spooktacular this weekend, celebrating all the best things the season has to offer!
You'll find everything from pumpkin picking, a corn maze, and hay rides -- to farm animals, a "spook barn," and their most popular attraction --- a giant pumpkin display. You can see scenes of your favorite cartoon and nursery rhyme characters, and a lot of Disney princesses.
The owners of the farm have been hard at work creating it for the last few weeks, it's definitely a cool site to see, and that activity is free of charge. And while there is just so much to see and do, the owners say the best part is the family atmosphere.
"It's a tradition, and that's the thing I think that is what's so exciting. You know, there's grandkids coming, their parents came when they were kids, and you know it's a fun tradition, we try to make it a family experience,” said Jennifer Jennison, the Iron Kettle Farm co-owner.
You can also find fresh produce and homemade sweets inside farm's market every day.
As for the activities, this weekend is just the soft opening for those, so not everything will be up and running just yet. If you come back the weekend of the September 24 you'll have full access to all the fun. And then for the entire month of October, the activities will be in full swing every day.
And for more information on hours and ticket sales, just head to their website.
