Judd’s Pumpkin Patch - Paragonah

Find them on Facebook

Month of October

If you're looking to get outside the city a bit and experience a little more of the country feel this fall, look no further than Judd’s Pumpkin Patch. Reviewers say they make it an annual visit and its easy to see why with all they have to offer at Judd’s. Starting October 1st, they opened their farm to the public and definitely feature more that just the pumpkin patch. However, the pumpkin patch is nothing to scoff at - with over 2.5 acres of space, you can find many different varieties of pumpkin and even pick yours right off of the vine. That is definitely a unique experience when it comes to pumpkin patch picking.

Other attractions at the farm are their wagon rides - 30 minute tours around the area, including their hay fields, back-country roads, neighboring farms, as well as all the natural beauty along the way. They also feature a farm petting zoo where you can meet pigs, bunnies, mini horse, goats, and more.
