HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. — 13Sports director Dave Calabro took his fall farm tour north this week in search of some Good News.
A week after visiting Kelsay Farms in Whiteland, Dave headed to Tuttle Orchards in Hancock County, where children were picking out the perfect pumpkin and enjoying all the farm had to offer.
"The perfect pumpkin is the one my granddaughter's picking," said one man.
"One that's easy to carve, but also big. Has a lot of surface area. I think I'm going to do a cat face," said one girl.
"I'm going to do a head rolling," said another girl.
"I think what makes a pumpkin great is, like, how you feel with it. if you feel that it's a good one and you know that's what you're looking for," said a girl at the orchard with her family.
It wasn't just about the pumpkins, Dave learned. A day on the farm meant good news in other way.
"I get to be with family," a visitor said.
Once the pumpkins were picked, children played in a giant sandbox-like corn crib and on kid-sized tractors.
The Tuttle family has been growing apples in the same orchard for nearly 100 years.
"It's so much fun. It is a lot of fun, memories and I think it makes all the hard work worth it to get to see all the kids having fun and having a lot of good family memories together," said Tuttle Orchards general manager Ruth Ann Roney.
