Created in 1993 by Drew and Melanie Wickham, the Pick'n Patch is a team effort with the couple and their four children: Sam, Tim, Ben and Dan. The Wickham's are one of first family farms to combine farming and fun. Agri-tainment at its finest can be found right down the road at the Pick'n Patch.

It began as a place for families to experience pumpkin pick'n with family fun. The first opening season they offered families pumpkins, fall decorations, a straw maze, rhymies (nursery rhymes built with pumpkin heads) and farm animals. Much of the business was on the honor system. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

Listening to their families needs, the Wickham's added a kiddie train ride and small corn maze and the stage was set for expansion on a yearly basis. As the children grew so did the ideas. They began to make suggestions, design new attractions and even create the corn mazes.

Daughter Sam was the original train conductor, "All Aboard" and "All off at the Pick'n Patch station. Have a nice day," are her trademark. Sons Tim and Ben took over management of the corn mazes. And the boomer attraction was added so the youngest son, Dan had a job to call his own.
The Wickham's continue to offer new experiences and create fall fun for Finger Lakes families. As their family grows so do the Pick'n Patch attractions. Realizing teenagers are looking for fall fun (and the kiddie train ride just isn't their speed…..) they took a leap into the world of giant corn mazes. And they've continued down that path of offering older family fun with their 8-acre corn maze and corn cannon this year.
