Can I bring my pet to the farm?

Being Tennessee's largest petting farm means we love animals of all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, our insurance carriers and USDA regulations regarding animal welfare prohibit us from allowing outside animals onto the property.

 

Can I drop my children off at the farm and pick them up later?

No. For the safety of all, an adult (18 years or older) must accompany children under 12 years old at all times while visiting Lucky Ladd Farms. We encourage families to experience the attractions together.

 

GROUP INFORMATION

 

Do you offer a group discount?

Yes. On Friday, Saturday or Sunday, if one individual pays for 20 or more admission tickets, we will offer a discounted rate of $7 per person. We recommend you call ahead so we can have the tickets ready for you when you arrive at the farm, however, you may also ask for the group discount at the main entrance upon arrival. Cannot be combined with any other discount offer. Only one payment will be accepted for the entire group.

 

Are you open during the week for school groups, daycare's, or mothers-day-out programs?

PUMPKIN PATCH INFORMATION

 

Do you have a pumpkin patch?

Yes, in the fall we have both a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and a large variety of pre-picked pumpkins available for purchase. Most pumpkins will already be cut from the vine to make handling easier for young hands.

 

How much are pumpkins?

Prices vary depending on size. Our pumpkins start at $.75 each and go up according to size.

 

Can I buy pumpkin without paying to do all the other activities?

Yes. You may purchase pumpkins available in front of our Farm Market without purchasing a general admission ticket for the petting farm, corn maze and other activities. Take your pumpkin to the admission booth to pay for your purchase.

 

Do you wholesale pumpkins?

Currently we do not wholesale any pumpkins. We suggest you visit the "Pick Tennessee Products" to locate a wholesale producer.

 

INFORMATION ABOUT ACTITIVITES AND ATTRACTIONS

 

How long is the sorghum (corn) maze?

Our maze is a little over three acres in size. The amount of time it takes to complete depends on how well you answer the questions that guide you along the way. The average time is 30 minutes, but don't worry we have any exit at the half-way point should you find the maze too challenging.

 

How long is the hay ride?

The hay ride lasts about 30 minutes and features wildlife you would find across the state of Tennessee. No the animals are not real, but it's still fun to find them hidden along the trail through the woods. Fun facts and history about native wildlife and agriculture are shared along the way.

 

Is it safe for children to pet the animals?

Yes. Animals at Lucky Ladd Farms are under the routine care of a veterinarian and our farm is USDA licensed and inspected to ensure all animals are maintained in a clean and healthy environment. We require adult supervision at all times around the animals and recommend that everyone use handwashing stations available when exiting the animal areas.
