We love to welcome professional photographers to our infamous Pumpkin Patch! Bring your clients and let the pumpkin fields provide them with the perfect backdrop for autumnal photoshoots!

Planned opening dates for 2022

We are not sure if we can open right up to Halloween due to the weather and stock availability so please visit us as early as you can…. the pumpkins will keep if left uncarved until Halloween!
Please check our website and social media the morning of your visit to confirm that we are open, as we sometimes need to close due to weather and stock availability.
