The Pumpkin Patch is OPEN!
Yup – it’s that time of year! We’re opening up our ‘Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch’! We have a ‘Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch at the northern end of our property – area 12 on the Orchard Map. You can head out there and pick whichever pumpkin you want. We have a few wagons but if you’re worried about having to haul your pumpkins I would definitely recommend either bringing your own wagon for hauling or making sure that you pick pumpkins that you can carry back. We’re always collecting wagons for the orchard so feel free to drop your old ones off!

If you don’t feel like heading to the patch you can ‘Pick Your Own Pumpkin’ out of the ones we have pre-picked by the store. Slightly easier…
Regardless of how you decide to ‘Pick Your Own’ figuring out the price of your pumpkin stays the same. I’m going to give you a quick step by step on
How to Weigh & Pay for Your Pumpkin and/or Gourds
You are going to take your pumpkin and or gourds first to our ‘Pumpkin Weigh Station’. The Pumpkin Weigh Station is located in under the lean, just south of the store. I circled the location on the orchard map above.

Next weigh your pumpkin/gourd on the scale. Each pumpkin and/or gourd should be weighed individually.
Grab a sheet by the scale to fill out. There should be sheets and pencils. If there’s not, come into the store to get more. Mark on the sheet which wait group each pumpkin falls in – tallying works wonderfully! You can round down with your weights. For example if you pumpkin ways 7.56 lbs please mark it in the $3 category. If it weights 10.25 lbs it’s in the $4 category.
Feel free to take a break to pet one of our friendly kitties.
Once you have your pumpkins and gourds weighed and tallied put them in your car. We don’t need to see them in the store – we’re sure you’ve picked out a really amazing pumpkin or gourd but we’re really okay not seeing it.
Before you leave the orchard though please bring the your tally sheet into the store to pay for your pumpkins/gourds.
If you forget what I wrote in this blog post once you get to the store – you can find the instructions on the Pumpkin Weigh Station – I’ll probably post a sign a few other places too now that I think about it.
There are LOTS of really humungous gourds that grew this year! These are priced the same way as the pumpkins!
We’re very laid back about the pumpkin picking here – we hope you enjoy your experience!
