Onward Acres, LLC is a new pumpkin patch off Old Route 66 between Springfield and Joplin in southwest Missouri. The Onward community is a historic settlement in Lawrence County that has pre-Civil War roots.
Onward Acres is owned by Sarah (Johnson) Watson Larsen who is a fifth-generation landowner in her family, her great-great grandfather settling there just after the Civil War. She has a vision of a family-friendly destination, complete with a robust pumpkin patch where interesting varieties of pumpkins can be picked or purchased pre-picked, super-fun kids' activities, educational and interactive farm-animal exhibits and unique photo ops for beautiful fall pictures to document the experience.
