Lattin Farms Fall Festival is every Saturday in October. It is a jubilee of family activities.

Visitors can take a hayride to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin, build a life-size scarecrow at the Scarecrow Factory, or treat the little ones to a cow train ride or a trip through Critterville. Pick-your-own raspberries and tomatoes are available for a short while.

Highlighting the festival is the Know Your Farmer Corn Maze. This year’s maze is carved out of 3 acres of corn, with a design that features produce, dairy and other farm products. The theme was inspired by the USDA Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative to better connect consumers with local producers.

“It’s important for people to know where their food comes from,” Rick Lattin, co-owner of Lattin Farms, a five-generation family farm, said in a statement. “And that’s why we picked this theme. Visitors can come out and have fun and see firsthand all the things we can grow in Nevada.”

The fall festival will be open every weekend in October, 5-8pm on Fridays, and 10am-8pm on Saturdays, beginning Oct. 1.

Lattin Farms is located at 1955 McLean Road in Fallon. For more information, call 866.638.6293 or visit www.lattinfarms.com.
