Rules & Safety
Are pets allowed?
We love animals, but please leave pets at home.
Outside animals can disturb our livestock and our working farm dogs.
To keep stress levels low and ensure the health and safety of our animals, no outside pets are allowed on the farm.
Thank you for respecting our animals and the hard work that goes into caring for them.
Can kids explore freely?
For safety, all children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
Turner Farms is a working farm, which means there’s equipment, tools, and animals that could be dangerous if not treated with care and respect.
We want everyone to have a fun and safe experience — please help us by keeping a close eye on your kiddos.

When you visit, you can expect to see:
Crops growing and being harvested
Livestock — our production animals are part of our farm operations
Pumpkin patch with a wide variety of pumpkins to choose from
Feed bags available for purchase so you can feed some of our animals
Old tractors for kids to climb on and enjoy — fun for adults too!

Countless beautiful photo ops scattered throughout the farm
A peaceful stroll through our five-acre farm, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of fall in Montana
Extra Tips for Visiting
Dress for the farm! Wear comfortable shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting a little dusty or muddy.
Bring a wagon or tote if you plan to pick lots of pumpkins.
Come hungry — food trucks and treats are available on festival weekends.
Plan your timing: Festival weekends tend to be busiest earlier in the afternoon. For a quieter experience, visit during the week or later in the weekend days.
We Can’t Wait to See You!
Our Pumpkin Festival is all about celebrating the harvest season, connecting with our community, and sharing the simple joys of farm life.
