Welcome to The Burch Barn at Iron & Pine Reserve!

The story of our pumpkin patch began back in 2010 when the Burch family returned to their hometown of Spooner, Wisconsin. Wanting to teach the next generation the value of hard work, "Grandpa Burch" grew his first crop of pumpkins and built a simple roadside pumpkin wagon with Dan and the kids—Jerad, Jace, and Emma.

What started as a small family project quickly captured the hearts of the community. Year after year, the wagon grew to include pallets of colorful squash, corn stalks, straw bales, and sweet treats from Emma’s annual bake sales. As community support poured in, a simple roadside stand blossomed into a beloved fall tradition, officially establishing the pumpkin farm on the property.

Today, the Dillon family is honored to carry the torch as the new stewards of the grounds. While the property has evolved into Iron & Pine Reserve, the heart of our fall festivities will always be The Burch Barn. As a local family deeply rooted in the area, our mission is to protect the heartfelt history built here while keeping it a warm, welcoming space where families can slow down, savor sweet moments together, and celebrate the crisp magic of autumn.

Whether you’ve been visiting us since the original pumpkin wagon days or are starting a new family tradition with us this year, the Dillon family welcomes you to the farm!
