Peggy Roloff has a great album on picasa of this years’ pumpkin patch. Looks like it was a busy year for the Roloffs. You can view the album here.

Always wanted to see the farm in person and take a tour? Well, we can’t all make it out to Oregon to see the farm, but thanks to Google Earth, you can take a self-guided tour.
You can drag the view around and get a birds eye view of not only the farm, but the surrounding landscape. It’s a lot of fun to zoom out and see where the farm is in perspective to the city.

Yes, you read that headline correct. For $8.00 + shipping, you can own a small piece of Roloff Farms. Just fill out the order form, and they will send you a jar full of dirt. But not just any old jar of dirt - just look at a few of the possible uses, as listed on the jar’s packaging:
• Use sparingly as an extra treat for your indoor house plants.
• Sprinkle some in your yard to inspire it with a little “country attitude”.
• Put some in the kitty box. Excellent for cats who don’t get outdoors.
• Rub some on your clothes for that “I just worked in the garden” feeling.
• Make a mud pie, “YUM!”
• Great gift idea for city folk.
Matt has always seemed like a great salesman on the show, but this just seals the deal. If he can convince people to pay money for dirt … well, that speaks for itself. I guess it’s kind of a neat souvenir if you’re a big fan of the show, but I wish the Roloffs would sign each jar or something.

I found this fun video over on youtube today of a tour of Roloff Farms. Jeremy guides the tour and answers a few questions along the way. At one point he tells the group that he’s “getting his license the 15th of October”, which was last Monday - the day of the season premiere. He also said it will be covered on the show in about 3 1/2 months.
I’m surprised at how accessible Jeremy is during parts of the video. You can clearly see the film crew from TLC in the background at one point, going about their business. Yet, they don’t seem too worried about people there with camcorders. Then again, I guess it is a reality show, and it makes sense that the crew would be used to filming in those types of situations. I don’t know, I guess for some reason I just imagined there would be some person from the crew going around telling people to turn off their camcorders while they’re working.

Pumpkin season is in full swing at Roloff Farms, and thanks to some fans who brought their camera’s along, we can all get a glimpse of what it’s like to visit the pumpkin patch. I gotta say, Matt looks like quite the rock star in a few of these pics, with a swarm of people around him. Go Matt!!

Over on Matt’s official site, some fans have a thread going which features some cool pics of Roloff Farms. I gathered some of favorites and included them below. Is it me, or does Jeremy look noticeably older in these pics?
