Pumpkin Picking

The Gilbert Family at The Farm Patch Ledbury

Home of Country Pumpkins

Another perfect event at The Farm Patch to get everyone together and have some fun!

We’ve been all about pumpkin picking since the very beginning. Back when we were ‘Country Pumpkins!’

As you may already know, we don’t just get a lorry load of pumpkins tipped on the grass, like some of the other patches. We take you back to the traditional experience, growing a huge range of pumpkin varieties for you to pick from right from the field.

There’s not just a single variety either! We also grow several special spooky pumpkins – like Knuckleheads, Crown Prince, Spitfire, Zombie, and Chucky. As well as the traditional favourite Harvest Moon.

There are also the extremely popular mini-pumpkins! Such as Jill be Little, Casperita, and Sweet Lightning. These are perfect miniature pumpkins for decorations and seasonal displays around the home.

All of our pumpkins are edible and very delicious too!

About Pumpkin Picking

The Farm Patch is a traditional patch where visitors can see where our pumpkins have been growing since May – On a sunny autumn day it’s a lovely peaceful place to have a country walk (with or without your four-legged friends!). There are some photo props and games around the patch and having picked your pumpkin, you can relax in our new café area – The Bull Pen – and enjoy both hot and cold refreshments and some delicious pizza. What’s not to like?!

Halloween Pumpkins

There’s not just the traditional Harvest Moon pumpkins here! We also grow several special spooky pumpkins – like Knuckleheads, Crown Prince & Spitfire.

Late Night Pumpkin Picking

Each year we are open several nights for late night pumpkin picking. Late nights are announced closer to the time, as we aim to do on the nights with the best weather! We recommend bringing a torch, but we do have some lighting around the patch to help you find your perfect pumpkin.

Be sure to follow us on social media for announcements on the dates.
