Good to know

No reservation needed

Papa's Pumpkin Patch at Wachlin Farms in Sherwood started as Bob Wachlin's high-school roadside stand and now covers around 50 acres of pumpkins and squash. Visitors pick pumpkins directly from the fields against the backdrop of a 1910 red barn, with fall decorations and gourds for sale. The farm keeps things deliberately low-key — free admission, accessible field pathways, and a pet-friendly policy — favoring an authentic farm experience over carnival-style attractions. The patch opens mid-September and runs through October 31.

Seasons and hours change with the weather and the crop — always check the farm's site before you go.
