Not much history listed on their website, but this farm has at least two generations of the Long family working it. (visit link)

They have a beautiful apple orchard and a big ol' pumpkin patch; you can pick your own if you want.

Also on the farm is 5 acres of corn they make a maze in.
This year it looks like a train.

Asparagus in May, Strawberries in June, Sweet Corn & Garden Vegetables from Mid-July through August, Apples & Cider from September through November, and Pumpkins in October pretty much rounds out their growing season.
