A farm store up Preston Rd in Gunter, with goats, pigs, donkeys, and chickens in the yard year-round and free animal viewing; in October the whole place becomes the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm, with hayrides, a corn maze, and mountains of pumpkins.

💡 Tips

Visiting the animals and browsing the store is free the rest of the year; buy a bag of feed inside for the goats. Pumpkin-season weekends are busy, so be there at opening; check the website for admission and activities. It's a 40-minute drive, and you can stop in the small town of Celina on the way.
