A working Rockland County farm stand with weekend pumpkin picking and hayrides, but its fall pages were broken when we checked, so almost nothing about the 2026 pumpkin season is confirmed — including a regional guide's claim that the patch is cash only.
No fall pumpkin price was published. For reference, the farm's summer picking is priced per container - peaches at $20 per half-peck bag or $5 per entry without a bag, and flowers at $30 per bucket plus a hayride ticket. A regional guide describes the pumpkin patch as cash-only.
The honest summary of this record is that we know what Dr. Davies Farm does and very little about how its 2026 fall season runs. The farm’s own website gave us a daily farm stand from 9am to 6pm, a Saturday-and-Sunday pattern for picking, and a list of activities: pumpkins, hayrides, peach and flower picking earlier in the year, the stand itself, and school trips. Every fall-specific page we tried returned an error.
That matters more than it would at a bigger operation. A festival farm with a ticketing portal leaks its prices and dates through the booking system whether the website works or not. A neighbourhood farm stand does not — if the page is down, the information simply does not exist online, and the only route to it is the phone.
What we can say usefully is what kind of visit this is. It is a stand-and-field farm, not an attraction park: no maze, no play structures, no rides beyond the hayride. In Rockland County, sitting between the suburbs and the river, that is a real niche. A family with a two-year-old gets far more out of an hour here than out of a $20-a-head gate at a farm built for eight-year-olds, and nobody has to justify the ticket price by staying until closing.
The pricing model is worth thinking about even without a fall figure. The farm’s summer picking is sold by the container — a set price for a bag or a bucket, with a smaller charge to walk the field without one. If pumpkins follow the same logic, your cost depends on how much you carry out rather than on how many people walk in, which is the friendlier arrangement for a large family and the worse one for someone who just wants a single large carving pumpkin.
Two things to sort out before you drive: whether they are open and picking on your date, and whether they will take a card. Neither is answerable from the internet right now.
The farm stand is open daily 9:00am-6:00pm, but picking activities run Saturdays and Sundays. If you want pumpkins off the field rather than off a table, you are going at a weekend. Go in the morning: this is close enough to the Rockland and Bergen suburbs that weekend afternoons fill up.
About an hour, possibly ninety minutes with a hayride. There is no attraction park here to work through.
Weekend picking at a farm this close to the New York suburbs concentrates demand into two days. Mornings will be calmer than afternoons.
Not published. Assume a farm lot on Route 304 rather than a large field.
You want a corn maze, rides or a full afternoon of activities — none of that is on this farm's list. Skip it too if you cannot reach it at a weekend, since midweek gets you the stand and not the picking.
A regional magazine guide says the pumpkin patch is cash only, but the guide is undated and the farm's own fall pages were returning errors when we checked. Bring cash and treat card acceptance as a bonus.
Picking activities run Saturdays and Sundays. The farm had not published 2026 fall opening or closing dates on any page we could load, so confirm by phone before driving out.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Farm stand daily; picking activities Saturdays and Sundays. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. No fall pumpkin price was published. For reference, the farm's summer picking is priced per container - peaches at $20 per half-peck bag or $5 per entry without a bag, and flowers at $30 per bucket plus a hayride ticket. A regional guide describes the pumpkin patch as cash-only.
306 Route 304, Congers, NY 10920, in Rockland County. It is one of 10 patches we track in Hudson Valley.
We track 10 patches in Hudson Valley, 2 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 2 of the 10 patches we track in Hudson Valley had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
