Mosby’s Pumpkin Patch

My Son is 3 years old, and this was his first pumpkin patch visit. Honestly, I loved the fact that it wasn’t crazy crowded with people (but I went early morning on a regular work day), and plenty of pumpkins. The ground was muddy, but honestly it’s very much expected and if it’s not muddy you’re not getting the full experience. The pumpkin was SO cheap I couldn’t believe it. It would have been tripled the price if I bought it at a local grocery store… Especially for the size my Son picked out. Afterwards my son played on stacks of hay maze and had a blast. Even had a place where it indicated 2015 pumpkin patch for a memorable photo. There were much more to do but since our son is still 3, just the pumpkin picking, photos and playing on the hay maze as well as a big soft hill was enough. They also had a great concession stand (pretty big) with all sorts of goodies including jams and plenty more!!! We will be back for sure!!! Loved the whole experience!!!

Over the years we’ve generally gone to Carpinito Brothers but last year is was so crowed that we couldn’t even get a wheelbarrow. This year we decided to look for The Great Pumpkin somewhere else. What we found was The Mediocre Pumpkin at Mosby Farms. This place is right off 18 so it’s very convenient. There isn’t a ton of parking but they weren’t really that busy so we found a few spots open to park. If it did get busy, you could see yourself parking on the street.
Due to all of the rain we had, the ground was saturated and even though it did appear they tried to put something down to deal with it, it was still pretty muddy so you’ll want to bring boots but I think that’s a given when visiting a pumpkin patch.
They had rows and rows of pumpkins but it was difficult to find one that wasn’t showing signs of rot, most of it in the stems. Although there were visible pumpkin plants, I noticed several of the pumpkins had stickers on them labeled «Fewel farms» so it appears as though they don’t grow all of their pumpkins. I know going to a patch is about the experience but I think part of it is the farm grew them. If I wanted someone elses pumpkins I could just go to the store. Speaking of the store, Safeway, near my house, had pumpkins in a much better condition.
We ended up purchasing two medium sized pumpkins. You roll up your wheelbarrow on to a scale and they subtract it’s weight to get the total cost. The prices seem to be around the same as what Safeway charged.
In addition to pumpkins, they had an assortment of gourds and there were two food carts there selling fry bread and pie. The people that worked there were very friendly.
For the kids, there was a corn maze and hay rides but we didn’t see any evidence that it was running.
If this place just had better quality pumpkins, I think I would make this place our yearly stop but because of this, I think I’ll keep looking for that perfect patch

We came here for the first time today because we wanted to try out a different pumpkin patch. I heard great reviews from friends and I even got a response back from you guys on your Facebook page saying that you don’t disappoint. I am afraid to say that we will not return here. We were very disappointed. There wasn’t much for kids, there was no hot chocolate, cider, kettle corn, corn… nothing. We were super bummed. :(The only plus was that it wasn’t super crowded, but, after thinking about it… there was probably a reason it wasn’t crowded. Sorry, but we are just not returning here and were not happy.

What a nice family experience we had when we visited Mosby’s Pumpkin Patch. We are new to the area and found their farm stand this summer, checked out their website and decided to visit the Pumpkin Patch. We loved how it was set up and the feeling of it there. Felt «family» and not overpowering, a plus in my eyes for sure. Not commercially overdone, We even had a family picture taken where they set up some picture type backgrounds. The corn maze was fun not too long only 1.2 miles so it didn’t take all afternoon, although we still managed to get lost. They had a free tractor pulled hay ride and friendly staff. We are thinking we may go back for their only flashlight night which is on the 30^th.
