Top Texas Pumpkin Patches

Happy Fall, Y’all! Let’s hope for a wonderful and long autumn this year! With the summer heat, I don’t know who wouldn’t want to feel a cool breeze.

Bring the family to these pumpkin patches in Texas this fall–don’t forget your camera.

    We would like to invite you to visit our pumpkin patch here in South Texas. We are a REAL pumpkin patch. We grow 4 acres of pumpkins. Visitors to our farm get a hayride out to the patch where they get to pick their own pumpkin off the vine. We grow various sizes, shapes, and colors. If you are looking for a commercialized event…well that is not us. We are a true working vegetable farm that opens our farm up for pumpkin picking on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weekends in October. The rest of the year we grow produce that we sell at our farm stand and various farmers markets. During our pumpkin patch, we offer carnival-like games, face painting, corn crip, tube slide, and mini animal barnyard. We would be honored to be included on your list if you deem our farm worthy. We appreciate your consideration.
