  1. Hermanson’s Pumpkin Patch

    October 29, 2012 by admin

    We love the tradition and adventure of picking our own pumpkins straight from the farm.  It is a Fall family outing that we eagerly anticipate.  Located just a short drive outside of Madison, Hermanson’s Pumpkin Patch is the only place we consider for our Halloween pumpkins.

    This farm knows how to do things right!  They offer up a large selection of pull along wagons to ease your journey through their property.  You’ll find a good variety of pre-picked fruits set up against the perimeters of the buildings.  One barn houses an array of ridiculously cute kittens that pounce freely around the farm.  As you make your way around, you’ll see goats, lamas, donkeys, rabbits, pigs, and a huge St. Bernard.  Near the entrance, you’ll be invited inside a family friendly haunted hay maze that is free for your enjoyment.

    If picking pumpkins from the vine is your desire, you’ll find acres and acres!  The pumpkins are incredibly priced.  Our family got one huge pick-your-own, one very large pre-picked, and one small pre-picked pie pumpkin for a grand total of $9.  You can also pay $1 for a tractor ride around the entire property to scout out a good picking spot or to just enjoy the scenery.

    Hermanson’s has numerous types and styles of pumpkins, squash, and gourds to choose from.  Whether you are seeking to make pies, painted pumpkins, jack-o-lnterns, soup, or anything else- they have the selection for you.  Employees are easy to find if you need advice.

    The farm also offers farm equipment to explore and large cardboard Fall themed punch-outs to pose your face inside for fun family pictures.  The workers/owners are incredibly friendly.  We just can’t recommend Hermanson’s Pumpkin patch enough!
