Admission is free. Pumpkins are sold individually but prices are not published on the church site.

Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.

Our take

Free church patches are the sensible default for anyone visiting a pumpkin patch with a child under five, and this one is a clean example. There is no ticket to buy and no timed slot to make. You turn up, the children walk through a hay maze built at their scale, you take the photographs, and you either buy a pumpkin or you leave. If the whole thing falls apart after ten minutes because someone is tired, you have lost the drive and nothing else. That is a materially different proposition from a ticketed farm festival, where the same collapse costs a family of four the better part of a hundred dollars.

The dates are confirmed, which is worth flagging because plenty of Treasure Coast patches had published nothing for 2026 when we checked: October 11 to 31. Three full weeks, so there is room to avoid the crush of the last weekend before Halloween.

What is missing is the hours. The church publishes dates and nothing else, and volunteer-staffed patches often run on a schedule that differs between weekdays and weekends. That is the one thing worth a phone call.

Finally, the pumpkins. Florida cannot support a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so every pumpkin at every patch in this state — church lots very much included — was grown somewhere colder and trucked in. At a church patch the money usually goes to a congregation’s programme rather than a farm, which is either irrelevant to you or the entire point.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Early or late in the day, and early in the run. The church publishes dates of October 11 to 31 for 2026 but no daily hours at all, so the only timing advice we can honestly give is structural: October on the Treasure Coast is still hot in the middle of the day, church lots have no shade to speak of, and the last weekend before Halloween is the busiest date any patch sees. The first ten days of the run will be quieter than the last.

Parking

Unconfirmed. The site is a church on Turnpike Feeder Road, so a paved or gravel church lot is more likely than a farm field, which would mean less of the after-storm mud problem that catches people out at Florida farm patches. We have not verified it.

What to bring

  • A card and a rough pumpkin budget — entry is free, so the whole cost of the visit is whatever gets picked up
  • Sun protection, since an open church lot in October offers none

How to spend less here

  • Admission is free, which removes the single biggest cost of a Florida fall outing. A family of four pays nothing to walk in
  • Pumpkin prices are not published, so bring a number in your head rather than discovering one at the till

Who it suits

Good for

  • Toddlers and preschoolers — free entry means an eight-minute visit costs nothing but the drive, and a hay maze sized for children is more use at that age than a farm attraction list
  • Anyone who wants the photograph and a pumpkin without paying a festival gate price
  • Local families who can go more than once, given the season runs three full weeks

Skip it if

You want a farm day. This is a pumpkin lot with a hay maze and yard games — no hayride, no animals, no rides. Older children will be done in fifteen minutes.
