Myers Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze offers a taste of East Tennessee autumn

corlissEnjoy autumn in a unique way at Myer’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze in Bulls Gap, TN. The visit to the Pumpkin Patch, operated by Vera Ann Myers ’87, has become an increasingly popular event for alumni since it was added a few years ago.

“We weren’t sure what the Pumpkin Patch trip would be, but were pleasantly surprised at the wealth of information on farming and farm families in Greene County that we were given,” Tippy Dell’Aquila Corliss ’58 said of her trip to the Pumpkin Patch last year. “Our hostess was knowledgeable and entertaining.  We came away with a better understanding of the hard work and dedication of small family farmers and dairymen.  She told us about the many programs they present for the children of the area giving them a better understanding of where the food on their tables comes from.  The gift shop had delightful; reasonably priced items including jars of delicious jams. (We brought three!!)”
