Yorkshire Pumpkins have grown even more varieties of pumpkins than before – from ginormous carving pumpkins, to delicious squash, to beautiful decorative gourds, as well as a new pink pumpkin this year! Don’t forget to ask farmers Rob and David any questions you have about growing pumpkins.

This year we will have our usual delicious home made refreshments, hot and cold drinks and a horse box pizza van (please note no pizza van Thursday 24th & Friday 25th October).

Tickets – everyone needs a ticket except babes in arms. A ticket costs £1.50 and you’ll need one for each member of your party except babes in arms. Eg 2 adults + 3 children = 5 tickets needed. Please note the entry ticket does not include a pumpkin. Please bring along your booking confirmation to show on arrival – either on your smart phone or printed out. The ten minute time you book is just your arrival time – you’re welcome to stay all day if you want to!

The Pumpkin Patch Produce began in 2010 with 0.25 acres of land hand-planted with one thousand pumpkin plants that were then sold from the farm gate. After seeing how well-received they were by locals and passers-by we increased numbers for the following year…and the next! Here we find ourselves thirteen years later growing over twelve acres of pumpkins of over forty varieties.

As well as various sizes of carving pumpkins, our crop has grown to include various culinary pumpkins and squashes alongside all manner of decorative gourds. Thankfully we no longer plant the pumpkins into the field by hand, although every seed is still hand-sown into its starter pot! Luckily, we’re not short of help and with four generations of the Butler family aged 2 to 92 getting stuck in to help with the growing and harvesting of each crop, we remain very much a family business.
