With a $20 weekend admission ticket, fall enthusiasts can ride the farm's pumpkin-themed train, explore its giant corn maze and compete in pie-eating contests, among other attractions.

Seems like a little more than just a pumpkin farm

If you read the article, he does not even grow his own pumpkins anymore but buys them from other farms in the area. It is more of a pumpkin themed seasonal theme park.

Not too dumb because pumpkin are part of one of the biggest holiday seasons

In the US, Halloween is the 2nd biggest holiday in terms of spending after XMas.

Not dumb at all to target that money.
