Lifelong Memories Are Sure To Be Made At This Wisconsin Farm

It may be hard to believe, but the start of fall is just weeks away. And there’s no better way to kick off the season than with a visit to Basse’s Taste of Country. Though open throughout the seasons, fall is the best time to visit since it’s when the farm hosts its annual Pumpkin Fest. And while the event does include hoards of gourds, it offers so much more. Take a look:

Located in Colgate, Basse’s Taste of County is a family-owned farm that, after one visit, is sure to become a family favorite.

A great day-trip destination for the young and old alike, Basse’s offers family-oriented fun and educational activities throughout the year.

In spring and summer, it’s the u-pick strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries that bring visitors to Basse’s.

But it’s when summer fades into fall that things really get good at Basse’s – and that’s because it’s when the farm puts on Pumpkin Fest, its annual fall celebration.

This year, the *ever-improving* festival will take place daily from September 19th thru October 31st.

During Pumpkin Fest, festival-goers can explore Basse’s Happy Jacks Pumpkin Land, which is brimming with pumpkins and gourds in practically every size, shape, and color imaginable.

In addition to already-picked gourds, there’s a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, so finding the perfect pumpkin – whatever your needs – shouldn’t be an issue.

The fun extends way beyond pumpkins, though. Since opening in 2000, Basse’s has grown tremendously and now includes more than 65 fun fall festivities.

Pumpkin Fest attendees can enjoy quintessential seasonal festivities, such as a corn maze, u-pick apple orchard, and hayrides as well as…

….some not-so-quintessential activities, like Farmer Skee Ball and supersized yard games.

There are peddle carts, slides of all sizes, a zip line, and a ropes course, too.

Remember how we said there’s something for everyone at Basse’s? Well, we meant it – and we think the fact that there’s a *beer barn* on the premises proves it. In addition to beer, of-age visitors can head into the barn to sip some cider.

The photo-ops at Basse’s are nearly as abundant as the opportunities for fun. From a giant rocking chair and family-sized swing to the array of festive photo-ops scattered around the farm, you’ll definitely want to have a camera handy during your visit.

Almost too good to be true, Basse's is like a fall fantasy brought to life!

Remember, Pumpkin Fest takes place daily from September 19^th thru October 31^st. On weekdays, it’s open from 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., and on weekends, it’s open 10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Keep in mind that Basse’s has gone cashless, which means payments must be made with a credit or debit card. Additionally, Basse’s accepts most digital, contactless payment methods, such as Apple Pay. For more information, call (262) 628-2626.
