A Keezletown farm will not open for its fall harvest festival because all of the pumpkin plants died as did much of the sunflowers and evergreen seedlings. The farm does not have irrigation to sustain the crops when it’s dry. Cattle were being fed hay because the pasture was dry. The farm will open for the Christmas season.
