Pumpkin Patch

 Any visitor may purchase small pumpkins for pie-making or small decorations and large pumpkins for porch decorations and jack-o-lanterns at prices-per-pound. However, access to the Pumpkin Patch requires a wristband purchase.

We hope you enjoy taking little ones to the pumpkin patch to choose their own pumpkin.  There’s nothing quite like watching them wander through a field of pumpkins, wheels in their head turning, as they debate and consider the virtues of each one.

 

In our experience, each child seems to have a different criteria for the perfect pumpkin… There are those that go for the roundest, most orange specimen. But plenty of others look for tallest, bumpiest, greenest, whitest, or even (and we’re not making this up) “witchy-est” face.

 

In pumpkin patches, as in life, perfection can be found almost anywhere, it all depends on what says “perfection” to you. 

Since the pumpkins are grown, the patch won’t be restocked. So expect to find the best pumpkins early in the season and dry vines closer to Halloween. The early bird gets the worm!

We’d like to thank our “Adopt a Row” participants for the 2024 season. They help maintain the beauty of the patch and we’d like to wish them all a “Happy Pumpkin Season!”
