East End farms hope for busy weekend after rainy start to the fall harvest

At Wickham's Fruit Farm in Cuttyhunk, fall means apples straight from the tree. There are 25 different types of apples and people have been picking their own apples now at this farm for a very long time. We were one of the first ones to have the U-Pick wagon rides as well as the apple cider donuts going. So we started that back in the 80s. The rain has definitely put a damper on us. We're having rain on just key U-Pick days. So this weekend should be gorgeous weather. It's going to be nice and seasonal. If it's a little chilly, we got the hot cider pot going on in the farm stand. The farm has been in production for 300 years and after a wet stretch the hope that some sunshine will bring more families out to enjoy the harvest and in Riverhead Holzman's farm is offering plenty of ways to make a day of it. Daryl and Audrey Holzman grow 20 different varieties of pumpkins including some you may have never seen before. You can take a cart or a wheelbarrow you can go out to our fields our first fields are orange pumpkins. Our next fields are specialty pumpkins like these pumpkins you see here and you can fill it as high as you can and it's the same price. We don't weigh your pumpkins. As long as you can roll it in they're all yours to take home. And after you pick your pumpkins you can step on into the corn maze. This year since we had a lot of rain the corn is about 10 feet tall. There are also hay rides, bungee, rubber duck races, which is new, and even photo ops with straw animals. Plus your four-legged family members are welcome too. On the East End, Jen Seelig, News 12.
