There’s something simply beautiful about the changing colours of the trees during autumn. Stunning scenes of burnt reds, oranges and yellows beautifully contrast the grey skies and low sun. Getting outdoors does wonders for our wellbeing, and adventures in mother nature excite little ones, especially when you view the falling leaves from Standalone farm fields.
We are thrilled to invite you and your family to our very first pumpkin patch event! Make new memories as you stroll through our pumpkin patch and enjoy countless photo opportunities along the way. Explore a wide selection of pumpkins in various sizes, perfect for picking and picture-taking - be sure to tag us in your photos!
Our Pumpkin Patch peeps will receive a 50% discount on farm entry for the same day. Children under 2 years old can attend the event for free and do not require a ticket.
We love this time of year and after a blustery walk around the patch, come and enjoy a coffee and slice of cake. We regularly get a batch of freshly baked goods and with everything from tiered chocolate cakes to brownies, seasonal cakes and cookies, these indulgent treats are the best. Pop into our Greenway Café for daily specials- but when they’re gone, they’re gone!
Now let us hear you say “take me to the pumpkin patch”. We can’t wait to see you. Pre-book your tickets online here.
