Fashion Farm shares plans for the future

LIGONIER, Ind. — Fashion Farms will be closing down at the end of 2025.

This fall also marks the final season for their “Pumpkin Fantasyland”, an attraction that’s been a community staple for more than 50 years.

The farm suffered a devastating blow last month when a fire burned down most of the restaurant on the property.

That restaurant had just celebrated 50 years.

Owners had already decided to sell the property before the fire, but will now have to tear down the restaurant portion of the building and start fresh before they can sell.

The third-generation family that runs Fashion Farms remains positive despite the difficulties that came from the fire, and will still host their annual Pumpkin Fantasyland one last time.

It opens to the public on October 1st and runs through Halloween.
