They’ve hidden themselves in the trickiest spots, waiting for clever kids to come find them! Stop by the Checkout Stand to grab a scavenger hunt sheet with clues to help you find each of the bubble wand characters throughout the patch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my pet?
For the safety and enjoyment of all attendees, we do not allow pets in the patch. Please leave your furry friends at home for this family-friendly event!
How much does it cost?
Entrance to the patch is completely free, as are the majority of our fun activities, such as the bounce houses, hayride, face painting, hay labyrinth, scavenger hunt, yard games, and photo ops. Pumpkins and decorative gourds are available for purchase, with prices ranging from $1-$40. The pumpkin trebuchet activity requires a ticket that can be purchased for $4, which includes the cost of the pumpkin used. We also have a small concession stand with snacks and other items for sale. On certain weekend dates we will also have food/dessert trucks parked nearby with items available to purchase.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, though we ask that you please take any trash with you, and be mindful of others sharing the space (no picnic blankets or camping chairs in the patch, please).
Where do the pumpkins come from?
The pumpkins are grown in Navajo Nation near Farmington, New Mexico. The company that grows them employs more than 700 Native Americans during harvest season, where pumpkins are picked across nearly two square miles of farmland. This partnership provides meaningful work in a region facing significant unemployment and creates a lasting economic impact.
Are there bathrooms on site?
Yes, we allow the use of our church restrooms for pumpkin patch attendees. There will be signs pointing to the glass entrance doors or ask a volunteer and they will be happy to direct you. Bathrooms are equipped with changing tables in both the Men’s and Women’s restrooms.
What happens if it rains?
The pumpkin patch is open rain or shine, as long as weather conditions permit (we will shut down during heavy rain or thunderstorms). However, certain activities will be closed for participants safety (bounce houses, hayride, etc). If we have to shut down, every effort will be made to reopen again as soon as the weather permits.
