$5 for a Pumpkin-Farm Outing ($10 Value)

Admission grants visitors access to a hayride around the farm’s 70 acres of pumpkins (pumpkins available for an additional fee), a bale maze, a jumping pillow, a petting zoo, and a playground. The farm also houses a brand-new restaurant and general store. The farm opens for the season on September 24.

Tate Farms

In the early 20th century, Tate Farms was a social hub for sharecroppers, who congregated at farmer John Patterson's general store, blacksmith shop, and gristmill. More than 200 harvests later, John Patterson's grandson, Homer Tate's descendants continue to uphold the farm’s legacy as a community gathering spot. However, instead of waiting for a new batch of horseshoes or gossiping about which neighbor might be a spy for the Kaiser, people now come to pick from 90 varieties of pumpkins on the 70-acre pumpkin patch. Leading visitors across the wider 5,000-acre fields, tour guides not only illuminate the farm’s history but teach visitors rural-agriculture info, including lessons on the role bees play in pollinating pumpkins and cotton.

Though the Tate family strives to preserve the past, they have retrofitted the farm with a brand new 14,000-square-foot covered area. Here, visitors sample fresh pumpkin pie made with the farm’s own pumpkins at the Country Café or head to the bakery for fresh pumpkin muffins and cinnamon rolls.

The Groupon Guide to: Lifting Things with Balloons

Anyone who has seen the beloved animated film Balloon House knows that enough helium-filled balloons can make almost any object whimsically float without care across verdant fields strewn with uncomprehending cattle or directly through the extremely toxic particles that make up rainbows. What common items will you be able to lift with these quantities of balloons?

  • A Single Balloon: Common house toad
  • Two Dozen Balloons: A VCR containing a video-cassette birthday greeting to your bedridden sweetie, who cannot answer the door lest their measles leap from their face to yours
  • 500 Balloons: A couch, piano, or wrought-iron garden door affixed with decorative hen
  • Three Trillion Balloons: Titan, moon of Saturn, no longer on a deadly collision course with Earth
  • Infinity Balloons: Helios, the balloon god who—some argue—could make a balloon so floatsy that he himself would be carried away
  • -1 Balloon: These are just called rocks, and they help things float back down to the ground or to the bottom of ponds.

How many balloons would it take to move a planet out of orbit, and will there be time?
