A working dairy with ice cream, mini golf and a half-hour hay wagon ride, open 8:30am to 8:30pm every day - but it publishes no Pumpkin Days dates or prices at all, so you have to ring before you plan around it.
No Pumpkin Days pricing is published on the farm's own site or on the directory listings read. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
Kerber’s is a dairy that does pumpkins, not a pumpkin operation that sells milk, and the distinction shapes the whole visit. The core business - ice cream, the dairy shop, the bakery, mini golf and the animals - runs 8:30am to 8:30pm every day of the year. Pumpkin Days is layered on top of that in October. That is unusual among the farms in this region, and it is mostly good news for visitors.
Almost every other fall farm nearby is a weekends-only event with a hard season, which means a bad-weather Saturday costs you the trip. Here, the farm is open regardless. If the fall programme is not running on your date, you still get a working dairy, the animals, ice cream and a round of mini golf, which is a perfectly good afternoon and not a wasted drive.
The twelve-hour day is the other structural advantage. Most farms give you six hours at a weekend and force everyone into them. An 8:30am opening means you can be first through the gate before the crowd has had breakfast, and an 8:30pm close means a late-afternoon visit is genuinely available on a weekday after school - though by late October, 8:30pm is deep dark and the fields will be finished for the day long before then.
The signature ride is a canopied hay wagon that loops through and over the fields for about half an hour. That is a different proposition from the five-minute shuttle out to a patch that most farms call a hayride. It is better value, and it is also long enough that a cold October wind becomes a factor. Dress everyone one layer warmer than the walk from the car suggests, particularly small children who will sit still for the duration.
Alongside it there is a slide tunnel, pumpkin picking and mini golf, and a bakery and dairy shop that are the reason many locals come at all. The fall ice-cream list - pumpkin, deep-dish apple pie, pumpkin pie cheesecake, granny’s caramel apple - is a genuine draw rather than a garnish, and it is worth understanding that the ice-cream queue at a well-known dairy on an October Saturday can be the longest wait of the visit.
Here is the honest problem: no prices. Not for the wagon ride, not for pumpkins, not for mini golf, not for any Pumpkin Days package. The farm’s own site carries hours, the address and the flavour list but has an empty events page, and the directory listings we read describe the attraction without quoting a figure. Nor are there 2026 dates for the event - one directory puts the pumpkin festival in October and that is the extent of it.
That means you cannot budget this trip from the internet, and you cannot confirm the fall programme is running on your chosen day either. One call to 724-863-6930 closes both gaps, and the farm also uses Facebook for current information. Make that call the first step rather than the last, especially if you are driving in from Pittsburgh with children who have been promised a hayride.
And do not plan it for Labor Day. The farm is closed.
The farm itself is open daily 8:30am to 8:30pm, which is a twelve-hour day and far longer than most farms in this set manage. That makes the first hour and the last two hours the obvious low-traffic windows. October is when Pumpkin Days is layered on, but no 2026 dates for it are published on the farm's own site or on the directory listings we read. The farm is closed on Labor Day.
Two hours if you are doing the wagon ride, a pumpkin and ice cream. Closer to three with mini golf. The hay wagon ride alone is described as roughly a half-hour loop, which is longer than the short shuttle most farms run out to a patch.
A twelve-hour operating day spreads demand better than most farms manage, so the crush is narrower here than at a weekends-only festival. October Saturday afternoons will still be the peak, and the ice cream counter is a genuine queue in its own right at a place known locally for the ice cream first.
Not published. Assume the usual working-farm surface and soft ground after rain, which in Westmoreland County in October is a regular condition rather than bad luck.
Not published. A canopied hay wagon involves a step up, and a half-hour ride across fields is not smooth. The dairy shop, bakery and mini golf are likely to be the more manageable parts of the property, but the farm is the one to ask on 724-863-6930.
You need to know what the day will cost before you leave the house. Nothing about Pumpkin Days pricing is published anywhere we could read. Skip it too if you want a big corn maze or a haunt - neither appears on the farm's list - and do not plan a Labor Day visit, because the farm closes that day.
North Huntingdon is an easy run from the eastern Pittsburgh suburbs, and because the dairy keeps such long daily hours it slots either side of something else rather than needing to be the whole day. In mid-October the Westmoreland County drive is doing some of the work by itself.
The farm does not publish a price. Neither its own website nor the directory listings we read carry any Pumpkin Days admission or activity figure, so ring 724-863-6930 or check the farm's Facebook page before travelling.
No 2026 dates have been published. Directory listings place the pumpkin event in October and the farm's own Upcoming Events page was empty when we checked. The farm itself is open daily 8:30am to 8:30pm year-round, so the property is reliably open even when the event is not confirmed.
It is described as a canopied wagon that winds through and over the fields for about a half-hour journey - substantially longer than the short out-and-back ride most pumpkin farms run.
No. The farm closes on Labor Day, which catches out families building a holiday-Monday outing around it.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Daily. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. No Pumpkin Days pricing is published on the farm's own site or on the directory listings read. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
