Wallet-friendly family farm focused on young kids, with pick-your-own pumpkins and play structures. Cash-only admission is the key detail to lock in before driving.
Pumpkin Patch & Playgrounds $16 (includes small pumpkin), Combo $23

Deep Well Farm sits just five minutes from West Knoxville, making it an easy drive for Knoxville families. Operating since 2010, the farm focuses on young children with dedicated attractions like Toddler Town, playgrounds, giant slides, and an obstacle course alongside the core pumpkin patch and wagon rides. The model is lower-adrenaline than major festival patches, prioritizing accessibility for toddlers and early-elementary kids over thrill rides.
The critical detail that will catch visitors off-guard: Deep Well Farm operates on a cash-only basis for admission. No cards, no digital payment. This is not common among modern farm attractions and creates a friction point if you’re accustomed to card-only travel. You must bring or withdraw cash before arriving. If you’re from out of the area and don’t know the local ATM landscape around Lenoir City, plan this in advance.
At $16 per person for “Pumpkin Patch & Playgrounds” (including a small pumpkin with admission), the base cost is genuinely affordable. The $23 Combo adds additional activities, but the record does not specify which activities are bundled or which cost extra. Call deepwellfarm.com or the farm directly to understand whether slides, the obstacle course, or specific wagon rides are included in the Combo price or require additional payment.
The presence of a dedicated Toddler Town area and playgrounds signals that this farm is designed for children ages 2–8 rather than teenagers or adults seeking intense activities. If your family includes a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old, this farm’s mixed-age offerings work well. Teenagers looking for ziplines or haunted mazes will be bored.
The record states that “hours are to be confirmed for 2026.” As of August 2026, specific operating hours have not been published online.

The season runs September 12 through October 31, but exact availability on your desired date is not yet confirmed.
Unlike patches where pumpkins are pre-harvested and displayed in a lot, Deep Well operates a true pick-your-own setup. Bring sturdy bags or use the farm’s wagon service (confirm whether wagon rides are included or cost extra). The 35-acre farm setting means you’ll do some walking, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
