Tweite's farm was founded in 1911, and spans over five generations. The land was used primarily to raise dairy cattle and grain until it was converted to a family entertainment farm in 1988 by Tom and Colleen Tweite, who own and operate the farm today.
The Tweite's have four daughters. Nichole and her husband Tim are both teachers, and have a son named Sawyer and a daughter named Matisse.
Danielle works as an HR generalist. She is married to Scott, who we are happy to welcome to our staff as the "Director of Fun", and they have a son named Conner. Molly is also a teacher, and she is married to a civil engineer, Adam. Maggie, the youngest, is in college majoring in studio art.
In addition to developing and maintaining the 10 acres of amusements, 6 acres of u-pick pumpkin patch, a corn maze and 29,000 square feet of permanent mazes, Tom and Colleen enjoy a full and active life in the community.
Tom serves on the Kalmar Township board and on the Olmsted County Planning Commission, and has served on the Byron school board in 
past years. Both are involved in their church and community, and Colleen pursues her interests in quilting and reading, when time allows.
"So many families have shared with us that we have become their favorite family farm or school group destination. We truly appreciate and we are grateful for your kind words. We’re proud that we have been making memories since 1988 and hope to continue to bring joy and laughter to you and your family."
Mission statement: Our purpose at Tweite's Pumpkin Patch is to enrich the lives of all children and their families by providing wholesome family fun for the young and young at heart.
