About

In 1986, when Tim was 15, he planted 200 pumpkin seeds. He planted them in a big pile of dirt located on his family farm, somewhere out of the way of the regular crops being grown. When the pumpkins all grew, he wasn’t sure what to do with them all. His father suggested that he try to sell them, and to just charge $1.00, a price that was hard to refuse. Every pumpkin sold. Through word of mouth only, Tim’s Pumpkin Patch became known as “the place with the $1.00 pumpkins”.

The price remained $1.00 for 20 years, a nearly impossible task given the realities of the constant rising input costs of farming. Now in their 35th year, Tim’s Pumpkin Patch grows close to 70 acres of pumpkins and squash, has a bakery, gift shop, brew barn and many, many fun farm activities for all to enjoy.
