There’s no shortage of pumpkin patches throughout Forsyth County. But with hayrides, storytelling and critters, there’s much more than pumpkins to be discovered this fall.At Kinsey Family Farm, customers can make a full day of buying a pumpkin.The north Forsyth farm offers hayrides and a try at their apple cannons. And in addition to the farm’s new, 1-acre sunflower farm, co-owner Andy Kinsey said they’ve also added a small petting zoo.The zoo has cows and goats for children to feed and pet, which may be as much fun for Kinsey as the children.“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard kids go, ‘I’ve never been this close to a cow before,’” he said.
