Mums will be back this year. Check back soon for pricing.

We accept cash, credit, debit, and Apple Pay.

What is there to do?
Look at and purchase pumpkins and take pictures. We have a beanbag toss for children, but we are a pumpkin patch with no hay rides or other rides. Some people spend a long time taking pictures or simply observing all of the shapes, sizes, and colors of pumpkins. There are a couple of spots set up for you to take pictures.

When is the best time to come?
As you would expect, we are busiest on the weekends. So if you want a more peaceful time, you would want to come during the week.

What is your covid policy?
Since it is an outdoor setting, masks are not required. We do encourage everyone to social distance yourselves from other groups. If you are not feeling well, please come back at a time when you are feeling better. We asks that you respect those around you in all that you do.

Are pets welcome?
With so many people walking around, we prefer you not bring your furry friends to the pumpkin patch.

Where are the pumpkins grown?
Pumpkins are grown on the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico.

Where do the proceeds go?
  • Navajo Nation - Pumpkins are grown on the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico.  Over 700 Native Americans are employed during the harvest season in September and October as well as a full-time staff in the off season.  This is great for a region that has a 42% unemployment rate.
  • Thornwell Children's Home - We are able to provide funds to help the children and youth of Thornwell. 
  • Historic Paradise Foundation. 
  • Isaiah 117 House.
  • Grace Youth Group - Money raised from the pumpkin patch helps each youth and family by helping to offset the costs of various items, trips and events that the youth group feels is important to the spiritual growth of each youth. These events have included spiritual growth trips such as the Montreat Youth Conference. They have also served at places such as Give Kids the World, Raleigh Youth Mission, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida.
  • Other ministries of Grace Presbyterian Church.

Info for Grace Members about helping run the Pumpkin Patch:
Pumpkins are scheduled to arrive on Sunday, September 29 at 12:30pm and another ½ load on Saturday, October 12 at 9am. Your help unloading the pumpkins and placing them in the patch would be a huge help! We need many hands to make this happen. The truck is often late and sometimes even comes on a different day. To let everyone know if the truck is on time or to share updates we use Remind. Join the Pumpkin Patch Remind and you will get a message sent to your phone with updates about the arrival of the pumpkins. Join the Remind here.

Grace members, volunteer to work shifts in the Pumpkin Patch here or check with the church office about available time slots.
Community members who would like to volunteer are asked to sign up on the community sign up here.
