It's easy to see why Sinkland Farms Pumpkin Festival has been voted #1 in the Commonwealth of Virginia year-after-year by Virginia Tourism.

Venture on a hayride or enjoy a relaxing nature stroll to 10 acres of pumpkin patch, meander through the corn maze, watch the pigs race, and breathe in the fresh country air while gazing upon five acres of sunflowers at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Children may enjoy our Kidz-Zone which includes a zip-line, giant slides and jumping pad, swings, ropes course, spider climber, and so much more! Skip over to see farm-ily, friendly animals, horseback trails & pony rides, walking trails, and The Tuscan Pond. Adult beverages are served on the Tuscan Terrace. Meet at The Cottage Shoppe for ice cream, kettle corn, jams, and goodies, live music, local artisans & food vendors to delight!
