Pebble Rock Farm – Masontown
After a not-so-successful season in 2022, Pebble Rock Farm is hoping for a strong return in 2023. Last year’s yield wasn’t enough for an official opening. Although details for this year have not been posted on the farm’s Facebook page yet, in the past they have opened the pick-your-own pumpkin patch around Oct. 1 and have been open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
