Peck's Farm Market has two big produce stands just down the road from each other. They also sell other foods and gifts, and feature a petting zoo, horse drawn wagon rides, and a children's play area. Peck's Farm Market was established in 1966. I don't know how long these giant food statues have been here. There is another ear of corn like this one in Arcadia, IN. For more, see this website.

Giant Pumpkin [gone?]
Vandalia, IL
 Pumpkin Patch Ride
St. Paul, MN
 Pumpkin House
Brainerd, MN
The Pumpkin in Vandalia is made of concrete. This photo is from 2010. I think this Pumpkin might be gone. I can't locate it at Google Street View.

This Pumpkin Patch is a kiddie ride at Como Town, located in Como Park. For more kiddie rides, see this section.

This Pumpkin House is located at Paul Bunyan Land. It may have been moved here from someplace else.

Giant Pumpkin
Milton, WI
This fiberglass Giant Pumpkin was installed on top of an empty silo at Meyer's Farm Market. The fiberglass pumpkin was built by FAST and had been there since 2004. The first photo above is from 2008. During a storm in 2010, the pumpkin was knocked off the silo and broken. It was rebuilt and reinstalled in 2011. Just weeks later, the new pumpkin was also knocked off the silo. The photos from 2011 above show the remains of both broken pumpkins. There were plans to build a third pumpkin. The other two were covered by insurance. However, the pumpkin is still in pieces on the ground. For more, see this website. [first photo thanks Mark Comstock] [map]
