Jucker Farm

Yet again it is that time to visit Jucker farm to see the wonderful pumpkin exhibition and partake in the many delicious goodies to eat. It began at the end of August and carries on until November 6th. We arrived in time to see the weighting of the pumpkins, it is hard to imagine growing such huge ones.This year the theme of the exhibition is Swiss cliches most of them you know what they are suppose to be, plus it is written down. A swiss cow!
I did not check what this is but I think it is Heidi and family.

This is the Matterhorn!
Marmot animals, they run riot all over the place!
Alpine horn!
William Tell!
Not sure what that is supposed to be!


Of course you can buy from a huge assortiment of vegs and of course pumpkins. You can also carve out your pumpkin while you are there!

I bought a selection to use as decorations. As for food you can eat lots and with pumpkins in nearly everything, even the beer. I had a delicious dessert with pumpkins and the soup was just very tasty.
There is a giant haystack, a small petting zoo, hammocks to relax in and a orchard where they grow there own fruit. The location next to Lake Pfaffikon is wonderful and if you go on a sunny day it is just a great day out. It gets very busy but you can park at the train station and a shuttle bus takes you up to the farm.

On the 19th & 20th November they have a Christmas market, I have not been but will try to go this year, I am sure it will be great fun!
