New chapter starts for Linder Farms owners with closure

KUNA, Idaho (CBS2 News) For 17 years, Randy and Sherrie Feist invited everyone to their pumpkin patch. Over time, their two-acre patch turned into 30. We had this really old tractor, said Sherrie about their opening. And it was so old that every day (my sister) would bring her crappy van and we jump

For 17 years, Randy and Sherrie Feist invited everyone to their pumpkin patch.

Over time, their two-acre patch turned into 30.

“We had this really old tractor,” said Sherrie about their opening. “And it was so old that every day (my sister) would bring her crappy van and we jump started it.”

Now, it’s time for a new chapter.

“We’re just so exhausted Nov. 1 that we don’t want to look in the backyard,” Randy said.

Randy recently retired from Micron and has his own information technology business. Sherrie teaches in Kuna.

“It’s been a long 17 years but yet it’s flown by,” Sherrie said.

The patch has always come first and fittingly, they say this year was their best crop ever.

“The corndogs come in a close second,” Sherrie added.

“I do like our corndogs,” Randy chimed in.

While not everyone enjoys having hundreds and thousands of guests trampling their yard, the Feists will miss it.

“Thank you for letting us be part of your family traditions,” Sherrie said. “Thank you for letting us be part of your memories.”

“It just warms my heart and makes me feel like people are appreciating all this effort,” Randy said. “I am going to miss that.”

As for what’s next?

They have a grandchild to go see.
