Leeds Farm

Leeds Farm is North of Columbus and based between Delaware and Marysville by the US-36. Enjoy all the fun of the Fall season at this farm!

About Leeds Farm

In the early years, the Leeds family concentrated on growing traditional crops. Corn, soybeans, wheat, and even Hereford cattle were raised on the farm. Bob and his wife also raised their children on the farm. Bob’s children decided to go into pumpkin farming. The first pumpkin patch was sown in 1988. The kids decided to sell these pumpkins at the front of the farm.

In 1994, Rob and Christy Leeds invested money into some new land near Ostrander. It is this land that is now known as the Leeds Pumpkin Farm.

The huge barn that is at the entrance of Leeds Farm was built in 1904. If you go into the barn you will be able to see beams. This barn was used to house the various animals that were kept at the farm at that time. The Barn was renovated in 2004.

Activities

Leeds Farm is the ultimate Pumpkin Farm day out. Of course, Pumpkins are a big part of the experience, but there is so much more to do and their activities for all members of the family, young and old.

Combine Slides and Corn Boxes

This is the only Titan II Combine Slide not just in Ohio, but the entire Midwest. Visitors have the opportunity to climb into the seat of the cab of a 8820 John Deere. Visitors can also climb up the stairs to the grain hopper and slide down the combine. For the more technically minded visitors, you will be able to take a look inside this beast of a machine and see how it harvests crops.

Visitors are also able to come and play in Ohio’s biggest corn boxes.  Children and adults can play in the corn and make different shapes and sizes. 

Green Acres At Leeds Farm

This is the perfect place for your kids to run riot and burn off some steam!

Green Acres features:

• The Pumpkin Plunge Slide – are you brave enough to plunge down the pumpkin-orange straightaway?
• Picture on the Porch – take a photo of your friends that will make you marvel at what your eyes can ‘see.’
• Gravity Wagon Basketball & Football – try shooting hoops, farm style.
• Tilt Barn – experience gravity in a new dimension; seeing is not always believing!
• Vintage Tractor – climb up on a 1930s Case tractor featuring its original pumpkin-orange hue.
• Grain Bin Bar – treats available at the Grain Bin Bar include Mini Donuts (exclusively available at Green Acres) and Kettle Corn—yum!

Take a Hayride

If you fancy a slower pace of life and you want to enjoy the farm, why not take a Hayride? Hayrides depart every 30 minutes and you are able to relax and enjoy the grounds of the farm. The good news is that a Hayride is included with the price of admission.  Visitors under 2 years old are free!

Tractor hayrides are available for visitors at the weekend. Hayrides depart from the west side of the pond every 20-30 minutes from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

For two days only, horse-drawn hayrides are offered at Leeds Farm along with the tractor hayrides.

Holstein Hustle and Iron Horse Corral

The Holstein Hustle is a lovely mode of transport for the kids. They will be able to ride around Leeds Farm in their own Holstein Cow. The Iron Horse Corral is also a good way to get some lovely photos. Visitors young and old can go on the horses.

Mini Zip Lines and Mountain Slides

The mini zip lines are designed for younger visitors. The mini-zips are great fun and are ideal for visitors who are 3 to 4 feet tall.

The Mountain slides are great fun for kids and adults alike!  To go on these slides, you must go to the top of the Mountaintop gazebo and take flight down the slides. There are 2 slides. One of the slides is 20 feet and the other slide is 40 feet.

Pedal Carts and Pig Races

The pedal carts are like a cross between a bicycle and a Tuk-Tuk without a motor. You get 4 wheels and a steering wheel. Your legs will do the work whilst you are able to pedal around the Leeds Farm Cart track.

If you are after some more excitement, you can also go and see the Pig Races.  At the weekends, there will be 2 or 3 races at the Leeds Farm Arena. The Pigs will be released and they will be under starters orders. You will be able to cheer on your favorite to the finish line.

Pumpkin Jump and Pumpkin Plunge

The Pumpkin Jump is great fun and available to visitors aged 2 and above. Just think of a large, overgrown trampoline and that is what you get!

The Pumpkin Plunge is for the braver visitors. You have to grab a tube and go on a fast ride down the slide.  Due to the speed and nature of this activity, all users must be over 42″ to ride the Pumpkin Plunge.

Racer Slides, Straw Barn Forts, and Slides

The Racer slides are great fun! Visitors can climb to the top of the straw bales on the farm and then slide down the Racer Slides.

You can also be a farm kid for the day, a traditional activity of playing in the straw. You can even jump in the straw fort, and then slide down the straw pyramid to the bottom.

Tractor Tire Tower, Trike Track, and Tube Time

Have you ever seen a tractor tire? You have the chance to explore many of the old tires at Leeds Farm. You can even climb to the top of the tire tower.

The Trike Track offers adult-sized trikes that are perfect for burning some rubber and blasting around the trike track. If you also like spinning, why not try Leeds Farm Tube Time Corral? These are like large glorified gerbil wheels and they are big enough for a few chums to roll with it.

As always, please be sure to check on Leeds Farm’s Website, Facebook, and Instagram for changes to prices & availability!

Witches Night Event

Be sure to check out Witches Night for an adults-only (21+) girls’ night at Leeds Farm! A wicked fun evening set up for a good cause and local charity. For more information and availability, click here!

Big Zip

The Big Zip zipline is 400 feet long, launching from 30 feet in the air. This is the only activity at Leeds Farm that has an extra charge. All others are in the general admission charge.

Pumpkin and Squash Picking

Although visitors may not go to the field to pick their own pumpkin, the harvested pumpkins and squash are available to browse and purchase. You will find blue pumpkins, pie pumpkins, Galeaux d’Eysines, mini-pumpkins, and fairytale pumpkins. Squash varieties include Speckled Swan, Cushaw, Turk’s Turbans, Acorn, Butternut, Delicata, Spaghetti Squash, and Blue Hubbard.

Meet the Animals and Feed the Fish

Meet the animals and feed the fish at Pond Bridge

You can visit the animals that make Leeds Farm their home. The farm animals are a firm favorite on the farm. There are two miniature donkeys who are Mother and Daughter.  They like to talk to visitors when it is feeding time. Children can feed the goats and these guys eat whenever food is available! Cups of animal feed are available for a small charge.

You can also go and take a look at the Pond Bridge. This is a lovely stroll where visitors can relax and feed the fish.

Food

Calf-A is open whenever the farm is open. It is operated by Pies From the Heart. The menu varies each week, but will generally include:

If you like pie, there are different varieties of pies available and these are available subject to availability.  Some pies include banana creme, cherry, Dutch Apple, Coconut Creme, and many more flavors. 

Kettle Corn is popped fresh at weekends in the Grain Bin Bar, weather permitting. Enjoy the caramel popcorn smell as you visit the Pumpkin House and hunt for the perfect pumpkin!
