DO I NEED A PICKING APPOINTMENT?
Pumpkin picking is available this fall for families to enjoy picking their own pumpkins right off the vine. There is plenty of room in our 10 acre pumpkin patch for families to spread out and social distance from others. Due to Covid-19, we will be following Virginia's social gathering guidelines and, because of the high demand for Saturday and Sunday visits, we encourage you to make a picking appointment on those two days (no reservations needed on Thur or Fri.). Call us during regular business hours to make a reservation - please do not leave a message because our machine does not cooperate:
757-294-3970.
If you have difficulty getting through (the phone rings constantly so you may get a busy signal), send us a FACEBOOK MESSAGE or EMAIL, but please know it may take us a while to reply.
Covid-19 restrictions prevent us from allowing groups, field trips, picnics, or any other activities other than family pumpkin picking. Thank you for your understanding and thank you for respecting
these changes.
When you arrive to the farm, please stay in your vehicle and drive to the tent to check-in. Thank you!
What are the pumpkin picking changes since 2019? Safety is our top priority so please read over the modifications that we have in place that are different from past years at the pumpkin farm:
- Social Distancing is REQUIRED at all times - you can still drive into the pumpkin patch (weather permitting) or park and access the pumpkin field by foot. We have relocated our parking area this fall - follow the signs upon arrival.
- A NEW online checkout system is available for contactless payment- or pay with cash/check via the curbside line. Please wear a mask when coming through the checkin line and curbside pickup line. (the farm store remains closed to customers but you can still purchase ice cream for curbside pickup - see details below.)
- Bring your own stem-cutters.
- We can not accommodate any groups this season - individual families only.
- No pets allowed.
- NO Restrooms. The farm store, picnic area, & pumpkin market are all CLOSED.
- No activities other than pumpkin picking are allowed at the farm - no groups, picnics, tailgating, field trips, photography sessions.....FAMILY PUMPKIN PICKING ONLY!
- Contact us with questions
Is pumpkin ice cream still available?
Even though our ice cream counter remains closed to customers due to covid-19, you can still purchase to-go containers of our yummy pumpkin and vanilla ice cream in pint and quart-sized containers. Order online through our online store and pickup in our curbside pickup line. We might have extras available but, to ensure availability, purchase in advance to reserve yours! :) If we happen to be sold out, no worries because we will be making more and restocking the online store soon!
