While the Roloffs seem more than willing to share the details of their lives on the farm with the public, you can't just drive onto the farm and start exploring. Apart from private tours (offered by reservation only), the farm is closed to the public — except during pumpkin season in October, when the pumpkin patch is full of fruit and the farm transforms into a massive fall festival.
During October, the farm opens its doors to the public on Fridays and weekends, according to the Roloff Farm website. Once visitors arrive, there's plenty to do: you can pick pumpkins to take home, take a guided wagon tour of the farm, and visit the Adventure Zone, a playland featuring a petting zoo, maze, miniature train, and other attractions. Like any self-respecting fall festival, pumpkin season at the Roloff Farm also includes opportunities for face painting, shopping for souvenirs, and enjoying a hearty meal. Also, should you spot one of the Roloffs mingling in the crowd, don't be shy — as they note on their website, they enjoy meeting the public and are happy to sign autographs.
