“Such kind owners and a fun place! We went to find little and 1 big pumpkin with our 2 kids under 4. The kids loved the scarecrow measurer, the kitties running around, and of course, the pumpkins and flowers. The prices are very fair and even good compared to other places. Loved supporting a local farmer. Def recommend.”
“Hours; 9-6 EVERYDAY. (Per Facebook post) My boyfriend and I went to Ames for lunch, and decided to stop by the pumpkin farm. Owners were very nice, and made sure we got what we wanted and were taken care of! Very friendly people! Loved the place. We got a bunch of pumpkins too! Great variety. Will go again next year!”
“Welcome to an old, country farm market, run by the farmer. Everything for sale there is grown or hand made at the farm. The variety of offerings are seasonal and is always kid friendly, including wagon loads of pumpkin, rows of canned jellie's and preserves.”
“This place was so cute! The man that helped us was so kind and extremely helpful. Not to mention there were two fluffy kitties to help us find the purrfect pumpkin. I definitely recommend this to young adults and anyone looking for large pumpkins!”
“This nearby treasure (4 miles N of Ames, 1 mile W of Gilbert) has been an local standard for decades. The sweetcorn and tomatoes are worth the trip to me, but I'm thankful for the tempory stand at the mall, very convenient for my old butt.”
“Grew up in Ames and went here every year. 34 years old now and made sure to stop by since I was visiting from Oregon. The owners are still as sweet as ever. Pumpkin bread is still as delicious as I remember!”
“The owner was so nice and they had an awesome variety. Lots of good pumpkins to chose from, gourds, jams and honey, and other farm fresh goodies. good prices too, will be back!”
“My family loves the Demoss Pumpkin Farm! I started bringing my children 30 years ago, and now my grandchildren go every October ❤️”
