Bomke's Patch

Bomke's Patch was established in 2002, planting our first christmas trees.   In the beginning, Bomke's Patch was a Christmas tree only farm, opening our doors in 2009.  As you can understand, trees take a while to mature, so we waited (not so) patiently, tending to the trees each year in preparation for the time that they would be big enough to be sold to our guests, and adding new trees each year.  In 2009, we opened with only a handful of family members on staff, selling roughly 100 trees.  Each year, we continued to grow the size of our tree farm.  Today, our farm is composed of nearly 13,000 trees on 12 acres of land.  In 2011, we tried our hand at pumpkins with a 2 acre lot.  To our surprise, we sold out of stock very quickly!  To  keep up with the demand, as we did with our Christmas trees, we continued to grow the size of our pumpkin patch.  Today, we offer 13 acres of over 50 varieties of pumpkins and gourds.  With both crops, our guests can choose to cut their own, or browse through our pre-picked selections.  In time, we have added activities and events that are fun for all ages.  We feel so grateful to serve this community with fall and Christmas family-friendly fun!  We cannot thank our patrons enough for their continued support over the years.  Bomke's Patch truly is "A place where tradition begins..".
