Services & Process

Yenser Tree Farm runs a pumpkin patch and pick-your-own farm operation where families can harvest seasonal produce directly from the field, a hands-on experience that's become increasingly popular across Carbon County. Their gift shop rounds out the visit with farm-made and locally sourced products, which often includes honey, beeswax items, and other goods tied to the working farm ecosystem. Pick-your-own operations like this one rely heavily on strong pollinator populations throughout the growing season, which means bees are as much a part of the operation as tractors and irrigation. For visitors curious about where their food comes from, a farm like this offers a direct connection to the agricultural cycle that starts with flowering plants and pollinating insects.

Service Area

Yenser Tree Farm serves the Lehighton area and draws visitors from across Carbon County and the greater Lehigh Valley. The farm's location near Jim Thorpe and the Pocono region makes it a natural stop for weekend visitors coming from Allentown, Bethlehem, or the Poconos. Call (570) 386-2073 for seasonal hours before making the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do pick-your-own farms benefit from having beehives nearby?
Bees are responsible for pollinating a huge percentage of the fruits, vegetables, and gourds that pick-your-own farms depend on, including pumpkins, apples, and berries. Without strong pollinator populations visiting the flowers during the growing season, crop yields drop significantly and the fruit that does develop is often misshapen or small.
Does Yenser Tree Farm sell honey or beeswax products in their gift shop?
Many farm gift shops in Carbon County carry locally sourced honey and beeswax-based products alongside their own seasonal goods. It's worth calling ahead at (570) 386-2073 to confirm what's currently stocked, since inventory often changes based on the season and local supplier availability.
When is the best time to visit for pumpkin picking?
Pumpkin season in Carbon County typically runs from late September through October, with the best selection available in early October before the most popular weekends thin out the fields. Weekday visits tend to offer a less crowded experience and sometimes better picking conditions.
Are there beekeeping supplies available at farm gift shops like this one?
Farm gift shops in agricultural areas like Lehighton sometimes carry beginner beekeeping items or at minimum can point you toward local suppliers and beekeeping clubs in Carbon County. If you're just starting out and want to know what's available locally, it's a good conversation to start during your visit.
Can visiting a working farm help kids learn about bees and pollination?
Yes, pick-your-own farms are one of the best informal settings for kids to see pollination in action because they're surrounded by the actual plants and crops that depend on it. Many farms in the Lehighton area welcome questions about their agricultural practices, and some host educational events tied to the growing season.
What other fall activities are available near Lehighton and Carbon County?
Carbon County is packed with fall options, including the historic town of Jim Thorpe just a few miles from Lehighton, which offers leaf peeping, hiking on the Lehigh Gorge trail, and fall festivals. Pairing a visit to Yenser Tree Farm with a stop in Jim Thorpe makes for a full and memorable fall day trip from the Lehigh Valley or Poconos.
