Now closed.

It appears to be the end for the corn maze and pumpkin patch.

Hayride & pumpkin patch FAQs

When do hayrides to the pumpkin patch start?

At this time, it appears that the pumpkin patch will not open in 2024.

Do I have to take a hayride to pick a pumpkin?

Nope! You can always choose to walk to the pumpkin patch when it's open. It's a short distance, but remember to wear sturdy footwear.

What are your hours?

Once the pumpkin patch opens, we're typically there from 10am to 6pm. But again, please check back later for details.

Do I have to buy a ticket?

You only have to buy a ticket for a hayride and the corn maze, but there's no admission to the pumpkin patch itself. The price of pumpkins are extra.

How much does a pumpkin cost?

Pumpkin prices vary depending on the size of the pumpkin. Scroll down to see a photo of our Pumpkin Pricing Hoops™ for an idea of cost, which is shown on the "stem" of each hoop.

 

About the Hayrides

Take a hayride to the pumpkin patch and then jump back on with your pumpkin for a ride around the corn maze. ​Once the hay wagon drops you off in the pumpkin patch you can take as much time as you want to look around and pick out your perfect pumpkin. Pumpkins are paid for right in the field prior to catching a ride back on the hay wagon.

The hayride circles the corn maze and is an adventure in itself – you can just enjoy the ride even if picking out a pumpkin is not on your list!

There are 2 hay wagons that run nonstop on busy days. When it isn't as busy, hayrides occur on a more informal schedule – Murray, our fearless hayride operator, is just a text away.

Remember to account for the weather – both the day of your visit and from the preceding week or so. Dirt + water = mud, so bring your boots.

Purchasing Pumpkins

Our pumpkins range in price depending on the size and the variety. We've got some handy "pumpkin hoops" to help us determine how much to charge.

One of our customers said it best years ago: our pumpkins might cost a tad more than at big-box grocery stores, but the photos you'll get in our pumpkin patch will be a lot better!

Some Pumpkin Facts

  • Beginning early in May and continuing into June ~15,000 pumpkin seeds are planted in stages in peat pellets and set out in trays in the greenhouse
  • Once seeds have sprouted and plants are beginning to grow they are transplanted into the fields
  • This year we planted over 40 different kinds of pumpkins, including some exciting new varieties – we have:
    • large carving pumpkins
    • specialty pumpkins (red, yellow, striped, warty and more!)
    • small kid-sized pumpkins
    • pie pumpkins
    • white pumpkins in a range of sizes
    • hard-shelled painting pumpkins
    • miniature pumpkins (ideal for the little ones or fall displays)
  • Weeding and watering continues throughout the summer
  • Pumpkins become ripe starting in September and continuing through October, depending on the variety and weather
