The pumpkin theme is everywhere at Butler's Orchard in Germantown， Maryland. It has thousands of pumpkins， including a pumpkin patch （菜地） where people can pick their own pumpkin. There are also other things to do， like riding a pony， rushing down a slide or walking around a corn maze with its confusing winding pathways. Some children discover the big orange fruits weigh more than they think. Visitors can pick their own in season fruits， vegetables and flowers. Butler's Orchard opened more than sixty years ago， as one of the first pick-your-own farms in the area.
Ken Merriam brought his children. He says Butler's Orchard brings back good memories of growing up on a farm in Honduras. “It's a little bit of what I used to have as a kid， so that's why I think it's nice to bring them over here. Get them out of the city.” Shirley Butler's grandchildren who are in their 30s are now the third generation to run the farm. General manager Tyler Butler says children who usually only see pumpkins in grocery stores can learn how pumpkins are grown.
“I didn't know pumpkins came from a vine. There are flowers on this vine. There are roots.” These little girls are learning about pumpkins during their first trip to a pumpkin patch to feel the nature and the fruits. For Tristan Piazza's mother， the Fall Festival is an annual （一年一次的） event. “My parents have always brought me. I bring my kid now. I hope he stays in the area and he can bring his kids.” Since family funds are hard to keep afloat these days， Tyler Butler appreciates the tens of thousands of visitors who come to the Fall Festival each year.
