๐ Just Want a Pumpkin?
Not everyone wants to do the maze, wagon rides, and gamesโand thatโs okay! Weโll have a Farm Gate Pumpkin Store set up near the entrance where you can purchase pumpkins and fall dรฉcor without admission to the patch.
๐ What to Expect at the Patch?
- Explore 50+ pumpkin varieties – orange, white, blue, red, pink, yellow, black, warty, bumpy, tiny, giant…there’s one for every porch, pie, soup, and carving!
- Unlimited bale maze trips – Get lost, laugh loud, and try again!
- Kids’ games and wagon rides included with admission.
- Fantastic photo ops and NEW setups for 2025 – bring your camera!
- Farm-fresh Red Angus beef available: A la carte or bundle.
- Snacks for sale: cow tail candy, beef jerky & cold drinks.
ย ๐ Tip: Wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and bring gloves – the patch is rustic and real as the pumpkin leaves and stems are prickly.ย If raining, you may want to bring your umbrella!

โ Pumpkin FAQs
Are pumpkins sensitive to frost?
Absolutely! Pumpkins donโt like frost – even if cured! Once frost threatens, all remaining pumpkins will be harvested and stored safely.ย They’ll still be available for purchase near the patch.ย
How long will my pumpkins last?
If cured properly, pumpkins can last for several months. We’ll give simple care instructions which will be available at the patch so your pumpkins stay fresh and festive all season long.
ย ๐ฌ A Note from Our Family to Yours
Back in 2020, this all started as a “crazy idea” …and now here we are, five seasons later, thanks to your support, laughter, and love of all things fall. We’re beyond grateful to be a part of your family traditions.
