The Largest Pumpkin Patches In America

Tate Farms in Meridianville, Alabama, has more than 80 acres of pick-your-own pumpkin fields in 2026, making it the largest verifiable pumpkin patch in America. That's about 60 football fields worth of pumpkin. Marana Pumpkin Patch in Arizona is not far behind, with 70 acres. Our ranking measures acreage that farms identify as pumpkin fields or pumpkin crops during the 2026 season, excluding total farm property, corn mazes, and other attractions. While there may be bigger ones, no national database tracks pumpkin-patch acreage, so these are the largest documented examples found, rather than a definitive ranking of every American farm. Here are the farms which hold the biggest slices of pumpkin patch pie.

Tate Farms, Meridianville, Alabama

Tate Farms reports more than 80 acres (32 hectares) of pick-your-own pumpkin fields, making it the largest operation with a qualifying 2026 acreage claim found in this comparison. Located just outside Huntsville, the farm began growing pumpkins in 1996, when the family introduced its autumn attraction alongside an established agricultural business. The pumpkin operation has since expanded considerably, although it remains part of a much larger farm growing corn, cotton, soybeans, and wheat. Visitors reach the fields by hayride and select pumpkins directly from the vines. Back near the barns, families can explore a corn maze, ride pedal carts, and climb through a two-story play barn. Tate Farms also maintains separate entertainment grounds that are not included in its pumpkin acreage. The farm opened its 2026 pumpkin season on September 30 and plans to conclude with Pumpkin Destruction Day on October 31.

Marana Pumpkin Patch, Marana, Arizona

Marana Pumpkin Patch advertises 70 acres (28 hectares) of homegrown pumpkins for its 2026 season. Located northwest of Tucson, the attraction operates on farmland associated with Post Farms and offers one of the largest documented public pumpkin fields in the Southwest. Visitors can walk among the vines and select their own pumpkins, with varieties ranging from traditional orange carving pumpkins to smaller decorative types. The attraction also includes train rides, pig races, a petting zoo, and carnival-style rides. Its pumpkin acreage is reported separately from these activities, making the comparison more reliable than those based on an entire property's size. Marana's 2026 season runs October 3 through October 31, with public admission Thursday through Sunday. The farm's own website confirms the acreage, and the local tourism organization independently repeats the same figure in its 2026 visitor guide.

Peebles Farm, Augusta, Arkansas

Peebles Farm reports growing 60 acres (24 hectares) of pumpkins for wholesale and retail markets in 2026. Its public pumpkin patch allows visitors to select pumpkins directly from the field, although the farm does not establish how much of its total pumpkin acreage is reserved exclusively for picking. Owners Dallas and Katherine Peebles purchased their Arkansas property in 1996 and initially concentrated on wholesale watermelon and pumpkin production. In 2004, they opened the operation to school groups and other visitors, introducing a corn maze and pumpkin-picking experiences. The property remains a working vegetable farm with seasonal family attractions, including wagon rides, flower fields, a barnyard, and a separate corn maze. Located along Highway 64 between Augusta and McCrory, Peebles Farm opened its 2026 public season on September 26 and plans to continue through November 1.

Bob's Corn & Pumpkin Farm, Snohomish, Washington

Bob's Corn & Pumpkin Farm reports 45 acres (18 hectares) planted with more than 70 pumpkin varieties during the 2026 season. Its pumpkin fields are divided into several picking areas, giving visitors choices depending on whether they want to pay admission to the farm's other attractions. A field outside the ticketed entertainment area allows customers to purchase pumpkins without paying the general admission fee. Other fields are accessible to visitors taking part in the wider fall festival. The farm grows traditional carving pumpkins alongside white pumpkins, unusually shaped decorative varieties, and pumpkins intended for cooking. Additional attractions include a corn maze, farm activities, and seasonal nighttime events. The property is located near Snohomish, northeast of Seattle, and its 2026 Fall Festival began September 19. The farm's current website confirms the pumpkin-growing acreage rather than using its overall property size.

Other Large Pumpkin Patches

Several well-known farms could belong near the top of this ranking but lack a sufficiently specific 2026 pumpkin-only acreage figure. Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, California, is a particularly strong contender. Its current website reports acreage planted with pumpkins, gourds, and squash together, preventing a direct comparison with fields identified specifically as pumpkins. Rock Creek Farm in Broomfield, Colorado, has historically advertised extensive pumpkin fields but does not currently publish a verified 2026 planting figure on its official website. Jaemor Farms in Alto, Georgia, also has a history of substantial commercial pumpkin production, although its latest confirmed acreage claim found for this review predates 2026.

Other contenders include Pumpkins Galore in Wright City, Missouri, which currently describes more than 50 acres of pumpkins without giving a precise figure, and Kuipers Family Farm in Maple Park, Illinois, whose widely repeated acreage figures can refer to the original farm property rather than the land planted with pumpkins today. Without comparable figures, these operations cannot be placed confidently into the ranking.

A Gourd Time For All

Based on the qualifying 2026 acreage claims examined here, Tate Farms leads with more than 80 acres of pick-your-own pumpkin fields. Marana Pumpkin Patch follows with 70 acres, while Peebles Farm reports 60 acres of wholesale and retail pumpkin production. However, the absence of standardized national reporting means that a larger patch may exist without a published acreage figure. Tate Farms therefore holds the top position among these verified examples, rather than an established national record.
