Wightman’s Pumpkin + Apple Farms

If you were asked to describe the season of fall to an otherworldly alien, we bet some of your key words would be: pumpkin, farm, apple, harvest, corn maze, light sweaters, crisp mornings, and cider. Or, you could skip all the word games and instead tell the Earth visitor to just go to Wightman Farms in Morristown, NJ. That’s what our Activity Specialist, Courtney, and our client, Jean, did one Saturday afternoon in October. It was as if they stepped into an Autumn painting come to life.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

As one would expect, Jean and Courtney went apple and pumpkin picking, but that was just the warm up. They played a pumpkin sling shot game. They shopped for fresh pies and homemade ice cream at the store. They ate Philly cheesesteak sandwiches for lunch, rode on a hay ride, and attempted four different mazes – the corn maze, the labyrinth maze, the tile maze and the rope maze. The only maze that bested them was the corn maze; it was tough! (They’ll conquer it next year, we believe in them). And since this is 2023, they climbed a few hay stacks for a photo shoot because, well, why else are those hay stacks there? Courtney and Jean fully enjoyed themselves spending a Saturday that would make any of us jealous.
