A 22nd annual u-pick pumpkin farm with on-site cafe and shopping, opening September 2026—well-positioned between Omaha and Lincoln, but 2026 hours and end date had not been published online as of August.
Bloom Farm & Pumpkin Patch is marking its 22nd annual pumpkin season in 2026, specializing in u-pick pumpkins with on-site cafe and shopping. The farm is positioned between Omaha and Lincoln (roughly 30 minutes from each), making it a convenient stopping point for Omaha–Lincoln travelers.
The core operation is pick-your-own pumpkins. This is more hands-on than patches selling pre-picked inventory; visitors walk the fields, select their pumpkins, and harvest them. The u-pick model appeals to families who want the experience and agency of choosing their own patch-to-cart pumpkins. On-site cafe and shopping add value to the visit, turning it into more than just pumpkin picking.
Operating for 22 years suggests an established, community-rooted operation. The farm is known locally and draws repeat visitors. This is not a new commercial venture; it is a long-standing fall tradition.
The farm announced new attractions for 2026, but details had not been published online as of August. Call (402) 267-4104 to ask what additions are coming; it may be worth timing your visit around a particular new draw.
Hours vary week to week based on crop readiness and farm operations. There is no fixed “9am–6pm” schedule; instead, the farm operates based on pumpkin harvest stage and demand. Call (402) 267-4104 to ask current hours for your intended visit date.
The farm operates a cafe and retail shop on-site, likely selling fall decor, local goods, and snacks. This extends the visit beyond pumpkin picking but adds to the cost. Budget accordingly.
Avoca sits roughly 30 minutes from both Omaha and Lincoln, making it a logical mid-point stop for travelers heading between the two cities. A morning at Bloom Farm could lead to an afternoon downtown Omaha or Lincoln.

One to two hours for u-pick pumpkins, cafe, and shopping. This is a more relaxed operation than large commercial patches; expect a shorter, more leisurely visit.
Smaller-scale operation compared to regional flagships like Vala's; expect lighter crowds. October is still peak season, but a smaller farm likely absorbs crowds better.
