The Pumpkins Patch: What to Expect!
Our pumpkin patch is a fun filled field of pre cut pumpkins, as well as some still growing on the vines, as well as a short story of their life! We also have a few traditional pumpkin patch games and photo opportunities in the field.
We have grown 2 varieties of pumpkin this year. The larger ‘Dependable’ and smaller ‘Magical’. Both perfect for Jack ‘o’ Lanterns and baking! They vary in irregularities, colour, shape and size!

FAQ
Q.Will I get to pick my own pumpkin?
A. Yes, you will get to pick it from a huge selection dotted around the filed, but as Pumpkins need to ripen, they have been pre cut, and lay to ripen, and harden on the ground in the field.
Q. Do I need to book?
A. No, no need to book. When we run out of pumpkins, that’s unfortunately it!
Q. Do you grow squashes and different varieties of pumpkins too?
A. No, Just the traditional pumpkin. We have grown two varieties this year. Large ‘Dependable’ variety of pumpkin & the smaller ‘Magical’ Variety.

Hello pumpkins!!!!
Today we started sowing our pumpkins! Yay!!! It was all hands on deck. Myself, the kids and 3 very hardworking p5s helped sow almost two thirds of our pumpkins. Phew! Hopefully between feeding lambs and checking sheep we will finish the rest by Wednesday. 🌱
