Yolk Farm is an amazing place for a day out! They have a frightful selection of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes in our amazing pumpkin patch, where you’ll find our unique selfie spots too, as well as a carving barn.
They have an awesome egg restaurant on site, as well as their new play barn – The Yard At Yolk – with role play stations, a giant sand pit and mini trikes, as well as amazing coffee and snacks for hungry grown ups. Pick up some delicious local produce for tea at their on site farm shop.
