Our first visit to Hermanson Pumpkin Patch was over 20 years ago. Even though the children in the family have grown up, it is still a family tradition to return in October to get pumpkins for Halloween jack-o-laterns, seasonal decorations and pumpkin pies!

They have fields full of pick your own pumpkins as well as many that are pre-picked to select from. Here are some photos of several of the varieties they have to choose from.

The large pumpkin on top is a Classic Jack-o'-Lantern & Field Pumpkin.

Blue & Pink Heirloom Pumpkins (Cucurbita maxima): are prized for deeply ribbed, slate-blue skin and sweet flesh.
​
​Red-Orange French Heirloom (Cucurbita maxima):are flattened squat pumpkins often called the "Cinderella pumpkin"

​White / Ghost Pumpkins (Cucurbita maxima) These pale white heirloom varieties are known for their smooth porcelain finish and rich orange flesh.

Warty / Knobby Pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo or C. maxima) are specifically bred for their textured, bubble-like skin caused by sugar build-up under the rind.

They also have several animals and activities for kids to enjoy. More pumpkin patch pictures coming soon!

All photos are from my family albums
