What's ripe,
and when.

Everything here is picked by you, off the tree or out of the patch. Seasons move a week or two either way with the weather, so if you're driving a distance, text us the morning you plan to come and we'll tell you what's actually on.

The pumpkin patch in October

Pumpkins

October · Large by weight, small $5, specialty individually priced

The patch opens 3 October. Bring a knife or clippers, or borrow a pair from us.

The pumpkin patch

Opens 3 October 2026.

A tractor-trailer runs out to the patch on Saturdays and Sundays. The blue trailer leaves once it has five or more aboard, drops you at the patch, and brings you back with your pumpkins.

  • Large pumpkins by weight; small ones $5.00; specialty individually priced.
  • Bring a knife or clippers — or borrow ours.
  • If you pick a pumpkin, we expect you to pay for it.

Sweet cider

October only.

Pressed and bottled into half-gallon jugs the same day the apples are crushed. Raw and unpasteurised, non-alcoholic, and good hot or cold. It sells out fast.

No booking needed to pick.

Just turn up during opening hours. Admission is $3.50 per person Wednesday to Friday and $4.00 at weekends from May 1 to October 31, $3.50 per car from November 1 to April 30, and free for under-10s. Fruit is weighed and paid for on the way out — we prefer cash, but cards are fine.
