Farmers Rob and David will be in the field to answer your pumpkin growing questions and can point you in the direction of the best pumpkin for you - whether you want to carve it, decorate or eat it! ​
"Amazing place to pick your own pumpkins, so many varieties to choose from!" Nicole, Google Review

FUN ON THE FARM

As well as the pumpkins we'll have our huge bale mountain to climb (adults welcome!) so you can get the best view of the pumpkin patch. We also have our rope maize, pumpkin wash, toy tractors and lots of great photo opportunities, like our bale sofa and of course the famous pumpkin door!

Lodge Farm, Cundall, York YO61 2RN
Can I bring my dog?
Sadly you can't bring dogs for health and safety reasons.
Do I need to book tickets?
Yes you do - this is so we can manage and car park and wheelbarrows and ensure you have a smooth experience with us.
How much does it cost?
Pumpkin prices vary from £1-£10 depending on size. This year entry will be ticketed so we can control visitor numbers and be covid secure - tickets are available now (click here to book) - they are £1.50 each. Everyone must have a ticket except babes in arms.
Will it be muddy?
That depends on the weather - if it's rained recently then yes! Check our social media for weather and mud updates!
If it's very wet we'd recommend leaving the pram in the car
but otherwise buggies are welcome and all the paths are wide enough for a buggy.
What shall I bring?
Wellies for all the family, gloves (pumpkins plants are spiky!), a camera (don't forget to share with us on social media!) and a strong bag to carry your pumpkins home as they may be muddy. Our pumpkins are already cut so you won't need to bring a knife or cutters (these are not allowed on site).
Do you take card payments?
We take card and cash (but no Amex sorry). Contactless payment is preferred.
What facilities are there?
We have parking on hard standing, toilets, baby change, a refreshment stall selling hot and cold drinks and snacks and straw bales for picnics.
Is there parking?
Yes, we have acres of parking, quite literally! Please keep to 5mph, all driving and parking is at your own risk, we accept no responsibility for accidents. Please park as you would in a supermarket car park (ie right next to each other!) to allow us to fit all the cars on the concrete!
Are pumpkins good to eat?
You bet! We've grown some crown prince pumpkins which are especially for eating as opposed to carving. Here are some great recipes to get you started!
