Family Farms Gear Up For Stage Five

-- it's time for those yearly traditions -- that bring the season to life.

And while many of the fall favorites are postponed-- or cancelled all together-- many are expected to take advantage of the events that are happening 44news reporter marisa patwa is in evansville with more.

Local farmers -- uncertain all summer they would be able to host their fall on the farm events --- are feeling relief -- able to open up at full capacity starting saturday.

"you know this is our income and our livelihood.

So we can't be more thankful to know that we're not limited too 50 percent."

But even in stage five, goebel farms won't see the same amount of kids playing -- with local field trips still on hold for school districts "normally we have about twenty five hundred kids come out to goebel farms on field trips.

And we're hoping to get about 500 this year."

And with trick- or-treating still up in the air -- farm owners are happy to help provide some halloween fun.

"people are looking for things to do.

They are tired of being shut up in the house and everything.

They want to roam around.

So, i expect really good crowds this fall."

And safety precautions have been put in place "we put in a ticket booth over here in the alley between the greenhouses and the market.

So people when they come here they just come to the ticket booth and get their wrist bands and they can go right on out.

Before, it was all conglomerated inside the market, forty and fifty people in there and we know that wasn't going to work this year."

Play areas have been spaced out on these farms and hand sanitizing are now stations installed.

While all visitors are required to wear masks.
