Pumpkin Picking

Pumpkin picking season is a beloved autumn tradition in Mid Devon. Grab your wellies and head to a participating farm and enjoy a family day-out in the field choosing your special pumpkins. Many of the farms offer child-friendly wheel barrows and other fun activities to enjoy whilst on site including craft activities, farm animals to visit and cafés to enjoy a hot chocolate (or pumpkin spiced latte) and delicious cake. Here are our top spots to visit this October for pumpkin picking:

Looking to choose and decorate your own pumpkin without the need for wellies?  Head to a local farm shop or farmers’ market instead.  Thornes Farm Shop, Stockleigh Pomeroy,  holds an annual pumpkin decorating event where you can choose your own pumpkin from their shop and enjoy a crafting session with onsite café.  You can also find farm-fresh pumpkins at our local farmers’ markets including Tiverton Pannier Market, Crediton Farmers’ Market and Cullompton Farmers’ Market.
