Our Pumpkin Season runs from mid to late September all the way through November. HOWEVER our PYO only runs every Saturday in October, 8:00am to 4:30pm. Tractors are on a constant rotation so they come around every 10-15 minutes.

General Rules

• Make sure you have PRE-PAID for a PYO ticket (a.k.a. a pumpkin sticker). Tickets are sold at the register.
• Do NOT smash or harm the pumpkins.
• Children must be monitored at all times.
• Use the clippers/shears properly and safely.
• Red hand wagons are meant for pumpkin transportation not children transportation.
• Do not wander to other fields.
• It is OK to sit a short while and enjoy our farm.  But please understand that we are not a park, and need to cover our costs by selling food.

Rules for Hayride/ Wagon Ride

• Do not enter or exit the wagon unless directed to do so by the driver.
• Please stay seated for the duration of the ride.
• Keep arms and legs inside the wagon at all times.
• Supervise your children.
• Follow any directions given by staff or the driver.

Disclaimer for Hayride/Wagon Ride:

For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, wagon rides are a farm activity and include natural bumps and movement. By riding, you agree to ride at your own risk, and the orchard is not responsible for injury or loss.

Picking Your Pumpkin!

Depending on what field you are in there may be many more varieties to choose from than just your standard Jack-o-Lantern or face pumpkin! Your PYO Pumpkin ticket secures you any size or variety of pumpkin so pick whichever one calls to you! If you’re looking for a baking pumpkin ask one of the market girlies before heading out into the field or ask the driver to help point some out to you!

There should be shears out in the field to help you cut the stem of your pumpkin if it is too thick to break. However, there may not be enough shears to go around, especially of it’s Saturday, so feel free to bring your own pumpkin harvesting tool but please use all of these tools SAFELY! You can always ask your driver for help!

Picked Extra Pumpkins?

Since you’ve already paid for your PYO Pumpkin ticket, your first pumpkin is included! If you’d like more pumpkins beyond the one included per person, feel free to pick as many as you want. Just bring them back to the market and we’ll weigh them and charge you by the pound (the biggest pumpkin is the free one!)

Pricing Guidlines

For PYO Pumpkins we do use a ticket system as this allows us to not only account for the pumpkins being purchased but also the people riding in and out of the field. When purchasing your ticket it’s $9.00 per person and this includes ONE pumpkin for each of you, no matter the pumpkins size. Not only are you paying for a pumpkin and permission into the field but you are also paying for your seat on the wagon.

Scenarios:

• If you have a baby, we will not charge you for them as they will not take up another seat on the wagon and are not getting a pumpkin.
• If you have a young child who will sit on your lap but wants a pumpkin they will need a ticket.
• If you have a member of your party that doesn’t want a pumpkin but that wants to ride the wagon they will still need a ticket.
• If you have a party of 5 or more but only want 5 pumpkins, we will only charge you for those 5 tickets.

Our Pick-Your-Own (PYO) Pumpkin ticket system may seem old-fashioned but it works because of the honesty and understanding of our guests. We truly appreciate you helping us keep things fair and enjoyable for everyone!
