What you can pick here

Typical US ranges from extension service crop calendars, not this farm's own dates. Seasons shift by region and weather, so check with the farm.

Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Look at the farm website: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • Boots that can get muddy
  • A wagon or sturdy bag for heavy pumpkins, if allowed
  • Hand wipes
  • Containers only if the farm allows them (some weigh yours first)
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • A cooler for the drive home
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.

More tips: your first u-pick visit.

How to pick like a pro

  • Is it ripe?

    Look for an even, deep color, a hard rind your fingernail cannot dent, and a dry, firm stem.

  • How to pick

    Cut the vine with pruners and leave 3 to 4 inches of stem. Carry pumpkins from underneath, never by the stem.

  • Best time to go

    Late September to mid October for the best selection. Go after a few dry days; patches get muddy after rain.

  • Keep it fresh

    Uncarved pumpkins last 2 to 3 months in a cool, dry spot. Carved ones last about a week.
