Fall Harvest Days
Each September the farm comes alive as the pumpkin patch pops up its bright orange globes, the sunflowers get heavy heads, the bittersweet turns a red-orange, the corn shocks look like teepees, and the aroma of cider, apple butter, and sorghum fills the crisp fall air. It is a celebration of the harvest you won't want to miss.

Scarecrow Reunion & Contest
Each Fall Scarecrows from across Northern Indiana gather for their annual Haunting Reunion at Amish Acres. And the chance to win $1,000 in cash prizes is a highlight of the event.

From the imaginatively wild to the wonderfully whimsical, cleverly crafted hand-made scarecrows are gathering together and standing watch in the Amish Acres Courtyard. You may enter in either the group or individual category in which there will be a $300 1st prize, a $150 2nd prize, and a $50 3rd prize.
