We are
Jeff & Denise Johns owners of Lonesome Valley Farms.
Ours is a family owned and operated farm
since 1963. It is located 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Greensburg,
Pennsylvania. At the home farm, Jeff & Denise along with their children, Jeff
Jr & Alicia have raised registered American Saddlebred show
horses, Haflinger Draft horses, dairy heifers and beef cattle. We also raise crops on the farm, hay, grain,
pumpkins, pumpkins, decorative gourds & Indian corn. Farming is an awesome and rewarding lifestyle. Yes, it is a
tremendous amount of work, but a healthy and fulfilling way of life. There
is nothing to compare to a day on a farm.
Through the events that we host, our mission is to share a little
piece of the country experience with others who love the outdoors &
appreciate country life.
Lonesome Valley Farms has hosted the
"Haunted
Hayrides" for 20 years. The hayrides have become one of the most talked
about haunted events in the area. The hayride takes you on a wagon ride you won't soon
forget, complete with a "Killer Combine" attack and of course Freddy,
Jason and all the special effects. You are then dropped off at the haunted walk to experience the thrill of fear up
close, with no where to escape. Just when you think you're safe
the paths take you to the Haunted Corn Maze, paths that twist & turn through the
rows of corn, leaving you susceptible to whatever lurks around each corner.
Beware---You never know what's in the cornfield!
In 2000, we created the "Get Lost Corn Maze". We
cut a giant puzzle into one of our corn fields and opened it to the public. Wow, what an awesome
adventure! Not only did people come out and get lost, but they left wandering
just how they got out. It's a great way to spend a fall evening. Hopefully you
will leave with a little better understanding of how agriculture is an important
part of ALL of our lives.
New in 2003, we added the "Ole-Fashioned Country
Hayride." It is a peaceful, non-haunted hayride for those
that want to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the country. Kick back
& just take it all in. What a fun way
to make memories for the young & to stir up memories for the "young at
heart"..
At each of our events we have
concessions, fire sites and a gift shop complete with gourds, pumpkins, Indian corn,
more pumpkins, corn stalks, and everything you need for your fall decorating needs.
We have gifts, some crafts and glow stuff. A little something for everyone.
New in 2004 we created
"The Pumpkin Sling"! It's awesome!!! You can sling a pumpkin at the
"Pumpkin Celebrity" (chevy celebrity that is) & try to
break the side window out of it. If you break the window you win the cash
in the window. U break
it-U take it. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
We have something for everyone to
enjoy. Many people believe that farming is a lot of work, it is, but obviously it can be a
lot
of fun too! Come visit us at Lonesome Valley Farms and take memories with you
that last a lifetime. You can contact the farm at 724-423-4290.
