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.

“Fun, fall hang out filled with a bit for everyone. The little kids get to burn off lots of energy and the big kids can hang out and sip their favorite drink and/or enjoy their snack. There are plenty of photo op spots and they even have a fire pit you can use to make delicious s’mores. Worry not. They sell s’mores kits. The variety of pumpkins ready for picking and the pre-picked pumpkins are beautiful and there’s a pumpkin for everyone. There’s ample parking, the square footage of the entire location is astronomical. Even with a lot of people there at the same time, it doesn’t feel crowded. We really enjoyed our visit. We’re second-year visitors.”

“Such a great pumpkin patch in North Iowa! They have so many activities for families, you can pick your own pumpkin from a huge variety (or grab some pre picked ones), a hay ride, corn maze, and a small shop for food and drinks, and restrooms. They usually have a coffee truck the entire season and a different food truck every weekend. You could spend an hour there or most of a day. Saturday morning seems to be the least busy if you want to avoid crowds, but even then there is a lot of space to move around. Great family-owned local patch worth visiting!”

Excellent pumpkin choices, very friendly staff at each stop. We will tell everybody and your gem and continue coming back for years to come!!! Even after a Vikings win, our day got better!!! 😀”

“I was out enjoying the fall weather and although the patch was closed at the time. I received a call later this afternoon responding to the note I left on the door requesting a pumpkin. I was able to buy 2 wonderful pumpkins at a reasonable price by weight, even though the business was not officially open. Thank you!”
