Don't ever go here! - Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

This doesn't really fit into any other category, but this is a pumpkin farm in Midland, on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. I accompanied my son's kindergarten class here for a field trip and I was really shocked at how the owner treated the kids. It was terrible. She came into the barn where they were looking at all the animals and talking to them. She was really mad at all the kids and accused them of dragging the sawdust around by the way they were walking. She didn't want any of the sawdust to be moved. I guess they were just supposed to float around the barn in the air? She spoke very rudely to the children and told them they should have been talking quieter. How are they supposed to know this, I was even in there talking loudly, there was no sign saying "Quiet" or anything like that. Then one kid smiled and she just got really mad and picked on him for a couple of minutes. These kids are 5 years old and were behaving so well. I will never go back to this farm or allow my kids to go there. Very rude, very overcrowded, tons of bumblebees, and just not worth the drive!!! There are about 5 other farms near Charlotte that are soo much better and we've always had a good experience with them.
