7. Riverside Market Dock & Pumpkin Patch
Position your agricultural paradise along the edge of a winding river or ocean inlet to incorporate maritime trade into your farmhouse theme. Construct a rustic wooden dock out of spruce planks and slab steps, complete with tethered custom boats loaded high with carved pumpkins and hay bales. The pumpkin patch itself should extend right to the water’s edge, separated only by a low-profile retaining wall of river rocks and cobblestone. Build a small merchant stall on the pier featuring vibrant striped wool awnings, barrels full of bone meal, and scales made of tripwire hooks and iron pressure plates. The reflection of the orange pumpkins and warm hanging lanterns on the water surface creates an ethereal, picture-perfect setting during sunset.
