After trying your luck in the corn maze, exit to the nearby pumpkin patch to pick your pumpkin. Carving pumpkins are 85 cents per pound. White and yellow varieties are also available at $1 per pound. 

Rent some shears and head to the field to pick sunflowers that grow four to six feet tall, at $2 per stem. Add wild zinnias and other flowers to make a bouquet. Don’t forget to visit the playground and animals – those are free!
