Pumpkin Patches in Detroit, Ann Arbor and Beyond

Are you looking for the perfect pumpkin to adorn your home this fall? Check out these pumpkin patches in Detroit and Ann Arbor for great gourds and seasonal fun.

As the fall season begins, finding a good pumpkin for carving becomes a family mission. Picking your own instead of going to the store can be fun for adults and kids alike. Visit one of these farms and locations to pick your own pumpkins and enjoy the fall season.

Many of these patches offer other fun fall activities like apple picking, corn mazes, hayrides and haunted houses, too. 

Note: Keep in mind to dress for the weather, as it can get very cold or rainy out on the pumpkin patches. Call ahead for inclement weather to see if the locations are open and call ahead for pricing as many go by pound. Many of them also don’t start selling until late September-October. 

Be sure to follow any COVID-19 safety protocol each location has in place.
