Agritourism Offers More Haunting Experiences
A quick visit with Jeff Alsup, owner of Honeysuckle Hill Farm and Scream Creek in Springfield, Tennessee.
I just returned from a trip to Tennessee and took the time to visit one of our friends Jeff Alsup at Honeysuckle Hill Farm outside of Nashville. Jeff gave me a walking tour of his farm and it was truly amazing how in just a few short years Jeff has developed his agritourism farm to be one of the best fall family experiences in Tennessee.
It’s interesting that Jeff’s background had been as a CPA but he was drawn to life on the farm and developing a fall season business because it just looked like fun. Honeysuckle Hill offers both a small and large corn maze, duck pond, pig races, pedal tractors, jumping pillow, large playground, a beautiful pond to feed the fish plus plenty of space to enjoy the beauty of his farm.
Just two years ago Jeff decided to go into the nighttime business of providing a Halloween “haunting experience.” The new effort is called ScreamCreek that incorporates both wagon rides and walking through a haunted forest. He hires actors to provide the truly scarey and frightful experiences. Scream Creek is geared toward the teen and young adult that doesn’t mind the dark and some pretty loud noises.
The admission is a reasonable $15 but Jeff came up with an even better idea. The $20 priced ticket gains you entrance to the “VIP” lounge with comfortable seating, free concessions and front of the line entrance to board the wagons.
With October just a little over a month away, I know all of the fall season farms are getting ready to provide their customers the best of the fall including plenty of pumpkins and decorations. As children are now returning to school we know that apples and pumpkins are sure to follow.
