The Mum Farm in Jonestown: A Local Stop for Fall Porch Season

ByMichael Sechman

You do not need to redo the whole front porch to make it feel like fall. A few mums, a pumpkin with a little character, and room to sit with a cup of coffee can be plenty.

The Mum Farm in Jonestown is one of Michael Sechman’s local recommendations for the season. If your idea of a fall outing includes choosing something for home, this is a place to put on your list.

Where to find The Mum Farm

The farm is at 823 Ono Road, Jonestown. Visit Lebanon Valley’s September 2026 listing describes fall merchandise including mums, pumpkins, gourds, decorative corn, and straw bales. Selection changes, so arrive with a general idea rather than a shopping list that depends on one exact color or size. Local visitor information.

Take a porch photo before you shop

A quick picture of your entrance makes choosing decorations easier. Look at the width of the steps, the door color, and where you actually have room for pots. Measure existing planters if you hope to reuse them.

Try picking one main color and a second that works with it. A small grouping can look intentional without filling every step. Keep the doorway and handrail clear, and leave enough space to carry groceries through the entrance comfortably.

If you are choosing living plants, ask about watering, light, and the conditions where you plan to keep them. A covered porch and an exposed sunny step can need different care.

Make it an outing, not another chore

Leave room in the car, bring something to protect the trunk from soil, and give yourself time to browse. Choose pieces you will enjoy seeing every day rather than trying to recreate an elaborate display all at once.
