Why Picking Your Own Pumpkin at Foxes Farm Beats Buying One from a Shop

At Foxes Farm in Colchester and Basildon, we don’t just grow pumpkins, we grow unforgettable autumn days.

Supermarket pumpkins? Grown for mass sale, not for flavour. At our 10‑year anniversary patch, you pull your pumpkin straight from the vine, fresh from Essex soil! Full of colour, character, and culinary potential.

Our spooky-themed fields, tractor rides, hay forts and photo stations turn pumpkin picking into a story your family will talk about for years. This is how autumn memories are made and shared.

This isn’t just pumpkin shopping. This is what families live for: local, hands-on, shareable experiences that align with their values.
