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

Not dumb at all to target that money.

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.
