“Pumpkin-Palooza is intended to be a free festival that we will hold at the farm each year,” said Libby Pataki, Putnam's tourism director. “This year we will feature hayrides, family pumpkin painting, a costume contest, a pie tasting contest plus other fresh foods, cider and live entertainment.” Families will also be able to visit with the farm’s flock of chickens and its two KuneKune piglets, Penelope and Ginger. County Executive MaryEllen Odell noted there will be a welcome area where the immediate and long-term plans for the 199-acre farm can be viewed by the public. “The vision for Tilly Foster Farm is to be a Putnam County-owned property and facility that fosters financial, environmental, social and historical stewardship through a variety of program offerings by means of public-private partnerships,” she said.
