Great Selection of Pumpkins 
To provide every color, shape, size, bump, and stripe, we grow over 200 varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squashes. The name pumpkin, gourd and  squash is used very often interchangeably and there is a little bit of confusion about which is which. If you follow their Latin names, actually they are all gourds! They belong to Cucurbitaceae family and Cucurbita genus, which means "gourd".
But if you want to explain the name confusion to a child, a good way is this:
Squashes are to eat, Pumpkins are to carve, Gourds are to decorate with.  

We grow 5 of the genus:
- Cucurbita argyrosperma - for example cushaw and silver edged squashes
- Cucurbita maxima - for example banana, hubbard and buttercup squashes
- Cucurbita moschata - for example butternut squash
- Cucurbita pepo - for example the orange carving pumpkins
- Cucurbita ficifolia - for example the chilacayote

We also grow some of the African green gourds:
- Lagenaria siceraria - for example the birdhouse
 
Often asked questions:
​

  • How much does it cost to come to the Pumpkin Patch? - We do not charge admission or parking fees, we charge just for pumpkins, Corn Maze tickets, and any merchandise.

  • How can I pay? - We take credit cards, checks and cash.

  • Can I take pictures? - Yes please! See more info in "Photography" section.

  • Can I have a party at the Pumpkin Patch? - Sorry, we are not set up to host any events. Please do not bring any equipment (tables, chairs, tents, etc.), party food or group game equipment (soccer or volleyballs, badminton, etc.). We would like all and every of our guest to have equal access to all that we offer and have an equal opportunity to enjoy fully the Pumpkin Patch and the Corn Maze.  

  • Can I bring my dog? - Dogs socialized with people and other dogs, on a short leash are welcomed. See more info in "Pet Friendly" section. 

  • Are we handicap accessible? - Yes. We have concrete and hard gravel around the shop. Our bathroom is handicap accessible. The Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze though, is just dirt and is not wheelchair friendly, especially after rain. 

  • Can I save seeds from the pumpkins for my own garden? - Many of our pumpkins are hybrids so you won't get the same variety next year. Also, we grow all the varieties together and they crosspollinate - another reason you probably won't get the same pumpkin next year.
