Markman Pumpkin Patch is a small, family-operated farm in Omaha with 30+ years of history, operating with zero admission fee and cash-only per-pumpkin payment. It is a pick-your-own pumpkins operation with no mazes, hayrides, play areas, or attractions — just the pumpkin patch itself.
The core appeal is the lowest cost possible. No admission fee means the only expense is the pumpkins you pick. For budget-conscious families or anyone who wants to grab a pumpkin without commercial-farm frills, this is the most economical option in the Omaha area. A family of four picking three small-to-medium pumpkins likely spends 20–30 dollars total (including pumpkins), which is substantially less than most commercial patches charging $12–15 per person in gate admission alone.
This is not a destination visit. There are no restrooms, no food, no amenities. There is no maze, hayride, or play area. It is a cash-only, pick-your-own pumpkin field. Visits are fast (30 minutes to an hour) and efficient. Families seeking this type of experience come because they know what they want and want it cheap.
Bring cash. No credit cards, no e-transfers, no exceptions. Small pumpkins likely run $5–10; larger ones variable based on size. Budget accordingly.
The address is listed as an intersection (120th Street & Military Road) rather than a specific street address. No phone number or website is available. The property location, exact business hours, and current 2026 operational status are genuinely unknown. This is a word-of-mouth, local-knowledge operation.
Plan to either drive by the 120th & Military intersection in early October to see if the farm is operating and open, or contact Omaha Parks or city records to try to locate a property phone number. The farm’s minimal digital footprint means traditional research (calling city records, asking locals) may be more effective than web searching.
One source notes that dogs are welcome, which appeals to families who want to bring pets.
The farm does not publish operating hours or seasonal dates online. This is not a limitation in the farm’s design; it is a feature of its small-scale, local-knowledge operation. Plan extra time to confirm current status before driving.
Operating dates and hours are not published online. The farm has been operating 30+ years as a small, family-run operation with minimal online presence. Call for current 2026 season dates and hours before the drive—or visit in person in early October to see if it is open.
