Our take

We would rather give you a short accurate page than a long invented one, so: this is a small church pumpkin patch in Crawfordville, entry appears to be free, and almost nothing else about it has been published.

The church’s own website carries its address and no mention of the pumpkin patch whatsoever — no season, no hours, no prices, not even a phone number to call. The hours shown on this listing come from a Tallahassee-area family events directory and describe the 2025 season: weekday late afternoons, a longer Saturday, a short Sunday window. There is a dedicated pumpkin patch Facebook page, which we could not read, and which is realistically where any 2026 announcement will surface first. Check there before you drive.

What we can tell you with confidence is what kind of thing it is. The listed offering is a pumpkin patch and pumpkins for sale. No inflatables, no hayride, no maze. Wakulla County is not agritourism country in the way parts of North Florida are, and this is a community fundraiser on a highway lot rather than a farm outing. Judged as that, it is fine — free to walk in, quick, local, and the money goes to the church.

Two things that are true of every Florida patch and worth stating here. The pumpkins were not grown nearby; Florida’s climate does not support a commercial fall crop, so they arrived by truck from out of state. And October afternoons in the Panhandle are still hot enough that an evening visit beats a midday one, which is convenient given that evenings are mostly what this patch offers.

If you need a guaranteed open gate on a particular day, this is not the patch to build a plan around. If you live nearby and can drive past to check, it is a perfectly reasonable ten-minute stop.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Late afternoon or early evening, if the 2025 pattern holds. The hours we have are from last season and were weighted to the end of the day on weekdays, with Saturday the only full daytime option. In Wakulla County in October that is the right way round anyway — the heat and the storm risk both drop off after four.

How long to budget

Fifteen to thirty minutes. There are pumpkins and there is a place to buy pumpkins. That is the visit.

Parking

Not published. A church lot on a highway rather than a farm field is the likely arrangement, but we have not confirmed it.

What to bring

  • Cash, since no prices and no payment method are published anywhere

Who it suits

Good for

  • Wakulla County families who want a pumpkin without driving into Tallahassee
  • Toddlers, since free entry means leaving after ten minutes costs nothing

Skip it if

You want activities, a photo setup, or any certainty about when it is open. There is nothing here but the patch, and the church publishes nothing about it.

Worth pairing with

Crawfordville sits about half an hour south of Tallahassee, which has several established church patches. If this one turns out to be closed on the day, a Tallahassee patch is the fallback rather than a second stop.

Common questions

What are the 2026 dates?

Unknown. The church's own website lists no pumpkin patch information at all — not dates, not prices, not even a phone number. The hours and the run we have come from a Tallahassee family events directory covering the 2025 season. The church keeps a separate pumpkin patch Facebook page, which is the most likely place a 2026 announcement will appear.

How much do the pumpkins cost?

Not published. Entry appears to be free, but nothing about pumpkin pricing has been posted.

When is Authentic Life Church Pumpkin Patch open in 2026?

2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Monday through Sunday. Check with the farm before driving out.
