Pumpkin Days at Mainstay Farm

Huge news here! I’m so excited to tell you that because of overwhelming popularity, Mainstay Farm will be open on Sundays this year! They are open every weekend in October – Saturdays from 11 am to 5 pm and Sundays from 12:30 to 5 pm. They will have hayrides, Hay Play and Jump, The Dig, Dress a Scarecrow, Little Farmer Acres (duck racing, flying cub, a triple decker tree house fort, spider climb, standing teeter totters, mazes and a labyrinth, games like sand volleyball and horseshoes), and if that’s not enough, there will sometimes be sheep racing! They also have a HUGE variety of pumpkins to choose from. This place is wonderful and is not one to miss!

Archie’s Gardenland 3rd Annual Scarecrow Day

On Saturday, October 1, grab an old shirt and some raggedy pants or jeans and head to Archie’s to build your very own scarecrow from 10 am to 2 pm! Not only can you create your own scarecrow (how cool is that?), but they will have lots of pumpkins!

The Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch at Double Oak Ranch

Open from October 1 through October 31 from 9 am to 7 pm, this pumpkin patch is great fun. You can find the perfect pumpkin, cornstalks, and hay bales, plus baked goods and refreshments. They also have hay bale mazes, a bounce house, slides, and train rides for the little ones.

Nash Farm Fall Round-Up

On October 15 from 10 am to 2 pm, Nash Farm is holding their annual Fall Round-Up. This family-friendly event includes pony rides, kitchen gardening demonstrations, cotton planting, farm animals, wagon rides, heritage toys, wood carving demonstrations, jump rope making, wood stove cooking, and blacksmithing demonstrations.

Wild Berry Farm

This farm is a little bit of a drive (an hour and a half away), but once you get there, you will be glad you made the trip. They have a HUGE Texas-themed corn maze, a smaller hay maze for the little ones, hay rides, pumpkin bowling, and a mini-farmland adventure. Plus you can pick out the perfect pumpkin from the pumpkin patch and get your family pictures taken, as well! They are open Fridays (4 to 8 pm) and Saturdays and Sundays (noon to 6 pm) starting on October 1. There are no pesticides used here!

    The Mattress Factory

    A Fort Worth Original Since 1896! Harry Keeton, Sr., began selling mattress supplies in Fort Worth, Texas, back in 1896. Little did he know that this was the beginning of what was later to become the fastest growing chain of factory direct sleep stores. His two sons, Harry and Frank took over the business and expanded into Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California; shipping furniture and mattress supplies all over the world. Four generations later, Peter Duncan, Jr., realized that there was a need for Factory Direct Marketing and began selling his products directly to the consumer at wholesale prices. This concept has spread like wildfire. Public acceptance has been overwhelming. This great demand has caused the Mattress Factory to become a leader in the industry. Our production exceeds 10000 pieces manufactured each year. Our buying power, along with the "no middleman" concept give maximum savings, which are passed along to the customer... you! When you purchase from the Original Mattress Factory you save 50% off the purchase price at a retail store.
