Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Iowa.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“What a great place to take your family to! They have an amazing selection of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and colors and varieties! They have gourds of all shapes and sizes and colors and varieties. They have the largest selection of squash of all different shapes and sizes and colors and varieties that I could ever imagine! Oh so many to try! YUMMY, YUM, YUM! They also have a little store where they sell all kinds of Halloween items like decorations and costumes and things like that. But if you want the best pumpkins for decorating with or the best Jack-o-lantern, then you have got to go to Pierce's Pumpkin Patch because they have the all time best pumpkins I've ever seen! And to top it all off, the people that own and run the place are the nicest people you'll ever meet. So take my advice and don't miss out on a really fun experience while picking out the perfect pumpkin! Happy Halloween!”
“I will never go anywhere else to get my pumpkins, squash, gourds or any of the other huge variety of fall harvested veggies and decor! Great family who owns and runs this farm! Definitely will be recommending Pierces Pumpkin Patch to everyone I know!!”
“Such a cute little place. I do wish there was more space because Fall Festival weekend is always PACKED but the kids love it and the family that owns it is wonderful!”
“What a little gem with more than reasonable prices and the nicest owners! I'm sad I only just learned of it this year...and it's only 20 minutes from me!”
“Their Fall Festival is great fun for adults and kids alike! Pumpkins, mums, food, vendors.... what's not to like!”
“Lots and lots of fun! The owner was a delight to meet as well!”
“You gotta go check these guys out! Truly Amazing!”
“Had a lot of fun watching my two kids run around and play. The wife was even more excited than the kids. We got lots of low priced items for Hallows eve. I recommend you to go, just park wisely as we got door dinged by someone as we were set to drive off. Had the new car for 3 whole weeks. 😖”
