Have Lunch Before or After you Pick!
NOW PICKING (SATURDAYS ONLY)
We've got big pumpkins, we've got small pumpkins, we've got really small pumpkins, and we've got really really big pumpkins! Whatever type of pumpkin you're looking for, we've got it. White pumpkins, orange pumpkins, green pumpkins, eating pumpkins, carving pumpkins, painting pumpkins. We love to try out new varieties every year, and make sure to keep all of our favorites around. This year we have 20 varieties, which I believe is more than any one else in Oak Glen.
Our fields are several acres large, and you can hike out and pick out whatever pumpkins are perfect for you. This is another crop that has just exploded up here in Oak Glen. Just make sure you bring a few strong backs for hauling those pumpkins down the hills! If you don't have any strong backs available, we try to keep the store stocked with a large variety too. And if your pumpkin is too big for any size back, we've got a tractor to load it up onto a truck for you.
