How do I pick my own pumpkins?

There is NO ENTRY FEE at Cattows Farm and heading out to the fields to choose your own farm grown pumpkin has never been easier.

We are open from 9am – 5pm Monday to Saturday (Closing at 4pm on Sundays). All our pumpkins, squashes and ornamental gourds are sold by weight and can start from as little as 20p. Typically an average size pumpkin would cost approximately £1.50 – £3.50, with massive ones in the region of £5 – £8 each. One thing the supermarkets can’t compete with is the price or the view from the pumpkin field!

3 simple steps

1. Arrive at the farm

2. Pick your pumpkins

3. Bring them to the shop to pay

When arriving at the farm you can take advantage of complimentary use of our wheelbarrows, however during busy times there can sometimes be limited availability. Other good ideas are to bring strong carrier bags or bin bags along to help carry them back from the field.

The pumpkin field is approximately 150m from the farm shop. Once you’ve visited the pumpkin field and have selected your pumpkins, simply bring them back to the farm shop to have them weighed and pay. We accept all major bank cards here at the farm.

There’s lots to do!

Throughout October we have other activities planned such as our 2nd annual 5k charity pumpkin run, bounce to your hearts content in the inflatable fun zone, use the pedal tractors or climb bale mountain! When visiting you can meet and feed some of the animals, and finish your visit with a well earned stop in the very popular tea room or take away coffee bar.
