SANA YNEZ, Calif. – The normal entrance to the pumpkin-loaded Summerset Farm off of Highway 154 in the Santa Ynez Valley has been altered this year by a roundabout project, now under construction.
The farm hopes the shoppers will find the detour signs and use a roundabout to get around the roundabout work.
One detour is a bit easier than the other.
From Santa Ynez, it’s a straight shot down Edison Street.
From Highway 154, it’s a turn on Roblar, Refugio, and Baseline to get to the entrance.
This year there are 25 varieties of pumpkins. They are orange, pink, blue-gray, and white.
Salay Maher has been at the stand for 16 years and hopes customers can follow the detour signs for the highway work and come through the gates.
Allison Hill made it and is planning a field trip for young people. “I am glad they get to run their business this year and I think for the highway traffic, this whole area is going to have a hard time because the detours aren’t clear, because of all the small roads and stuff.”
