Wagon with child and pumpkin

Wagons and Strollers Recommended

Strollers and wagons are great to transport children around our large farm! Plus they are perfect for carrying pumpkins. Our farm has pumpkin carts, but they can be limited on weekends and are not for carrying children.

Dogs on leash at the farm at tree season only

Service Animals Only

Sorry, no pet dogs! Pumpkins are a food crop. Please note: under the Americans with Disabilities Act, “a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.” Also, “emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA.” Dogs on leashes are permitted ONLY during tree season.

Food and Snacks

We offer farm-fresh snacks, including farm-made pumpkin cranberry cookies and apple cider. We also have local apples, cheese, and crackers. We do not allow outside food nor tailgating.

Tractor rainboots at the farm

Dress for the Weather

Pumpkinseed Hill can warm and sunny, or breezy with a seasonal autumn chill - or both on the same day! Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes. Boots are good for damp days and dewy mornings.

Visit to the Winery

Jones Winery is 1.5 miles from Pumpkinseed Hill, and is open without reservations. Before or after your pumpkin visit, enjoy a wine tasting in our Tasting Room or glass of wine and local cheese in our beautiful courtyard.

As we reflect on our agricultural adventures and experiences, I find it exciting to realize that our many environmental practices work in symbiosis with the positive ecological impacts and the economic success of our farm.

I believe this is a critical message for our nation to embrace.
