Riamede Farms is a 35 acres orchard with half of this acreage still nurturing big old seedling apple trees planted a half century ago.

Riamede also has a large pumpkin field behind the orchard. The haywagon will drop you at the pumpkin field gate, and early in pumpkin season, it's "cut your own" pumpkins off the vine!

Hayrides through our orchard and out to the pumpkin patch are free on weekends. Our hay wagon rides circle the orchard continuously all day, Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.
