# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Pumpkin Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 11 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: October is when the farm starts to look a little more like the version of fall everyone has been waiting for. Pumpkins piled high, tractor rides looping around the orchard, something cinnamon-spiced coming out of the bakery, and plenty of reasons to stay awhile. 🎃

So for one weekend, we’re giving the pumpkin its proper celebration.

Join us October 10th – 11th for Pumpkin Festival, a weekend built around one of the most unmistakable signs of the season. Pick out a pumpkin to take home, put your creativity to work at pumpkin painting and carving, see how your find measures up in our smallest and largest pumpkin contest, and make a day of everything else happening around the farm.

🥮 Pumpkin Sweet Roll: Sat - Sun (While supplies last)
🍎 Pumpkin Spice Cider: Sat - Sun, 9am - 9pm 

AROUND THE FARM | Pumpkins may be the reason for the weekend, but there’s plenty happening beyond the pumpkin patch. Take a tractor ride around the orchard, stop for apple sampling if the crop allows, and spend some time wandering through the season while it’s at its most unmistakably fall.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Apple varieties, picking availability, activities, food specials, and times are subject to change.

The availability of our crops depends on two things we cannot fully predict: the weather and the crowd. Ripening shifts with the forecast, and a high-traffic day can clear a crop quickly. We will share updates on the status of our patches on social media. If you are traveling from a distance, please call ahead before you leave at 319.354.5651.
