It’s Pumpkin Picking Time!
It’s that time of year when the fields are full of pumpkins waiting to be picked by you!
Whether you are looking for the perfect pumpkin to carve or make the best doorstep display there are lots of options to select your pumpkin here in Mid Devon. We are very lucky to have so many fantastic farm shops and farms offering this autumn festive experience. Get your wellies on and head out to grab your pumpkins at any of the following venues:
