Sundaes on Sunday
As soon as the strawberries are ready, we plan to make Sundays special at Watermans Farm Market. Our Festival Field will be hopping with Bouncing Barnstorm for the kids, Ice Cream sundaes and Farm tour Hayrides. It's a great way to spend time with the family and enjoy farm-fresh produce.

October Birthday Party Package!
A weekday party for ten children and unlimited adults is $85; a party on Saturday or Sunday is $100.
The children and adults will be given a hayride through our fields and the children will recieve a small pumpkin. The adults are welcome to purchase their own pumpkins.
The children get to take a pony ride!
All can enjoy watching Tyranny, our huge pumpkin-eating dinosaur (a tyrascalsaurus Rex) who roars as she chomps on pumpkins and pumpkin chunks fall to the ground.
The children get to participate in all of our October activities, including:
- visiting the farm animals
- walking through our three cornfield mazes; the first, designed with the very young in mind, involves following a path through the cornfield; the second involves decision-making as to whether to go forward or backward, right or left; the third involves the same type of decision-making and it is longer and more complicated
- crawling through our strawbale maze, which is dark and has deadends in it
- climbing on straw mountain
- riding a tricycle on our tricycle trail
- digging in the sand with child-sized backhoes
The group may make a scarecrow to take home. If you would like for the scarecrow to commemorate the birthday child, bring along a shirt or other piece of clothing that makes you think of your child. We supply all the materials needed for making the scarecrow including the clothing, straw for stuffing and materials to hold it all together. You will be given a head that you decorate yourself.
As there are bound to be some thirsty people at your party, we also include in the birthday package a gallon of apple cider!
On weekends, there are bands performing music for your to enjoy. There is also food available, including hot dogs, bratwurst, funnel cakes, curly fries, tacos, and more.
Remember to bring your camera!
Fall Harvest Festival
In October the Fall Harvest Festival is in full swing. We offer pumpkins and tractor-drawn hayrides to the pumpkin patch where you may select from acres of pumpkins. Tyranny, our huge pumpkin-eating dinosaur, roars as she chomps on a pumpkin and the chunks fall to the ground. We offer our ever-popular 1,500-square foot strawbale maze. There are pony rides, farm animals to visit, a tricycle trail and clowns. Food concessions on weekends, musical bands on Saturdays and Sundays. We offer fall decorating items including pumpkins of various sizes from miniature to large, gourds, corn stalk bundles, strawbales, and Indian corn. Over the past several years, this event has become a central Indiana farm harvest and community tradition.
