Cash or check only, closes at dark rather than a fixed time, and open only during October — a straightforward Wood County pick-your-own field rather than a festival, and a cheap one if you bring the right payment.
No pricing published. Payment is cash or check only, with an ATM on site.
Two things define a visit here and neither is on the attraction list.
The first is payment. Cash or check only, with an ATM on site. In 2026 that is an unusual enough policy that a good number of visitors will discover it at the point of paying, which is exactly the wrong moment. Stop at a bank before you drive out, or accept a withdrawal fee for the privilege of buying pumpkins.
The second is the closing time, which is not a time. Weekdays noon to dark, Saturday 9am to dark, Sunday 10am to dark. That is honest — a u-pick field genuinely stops being usable when the light goes — but it means the length of your window depends on the date. In the first week of October in northwest Ohio there is useful light past seven. By the last week of the month it is gone before half past six. A weekday visit at the end of the season is a short one whether you planned it that way or not.
A pumpkin field you pick from, hayrides, a pumpkin maze, face painting and a pumpkin weigh-off. That is the list, and it is a coherent one. This is the older kind of fall stop: a farm selling pumpkins with enough around it to make an hour of it, rather than a ticketed attraction that also has pumpkins.
That suits some families very well. There is no wristband to justify, no schedule to work through and no pressure to stay long enough to get your money’s worth. It suits other families badly, and if your children expect a jumping pillow and a slide tower they will be finished here in twenty minutes.
Worth reading twice. Hayrides run Friday after 4pm and all day at weekends. There is no mention of weekday hayrides, so a Tuesday afternoon or a Friday lunchtime visit is a walk in the field and nothing more. If the wagon is the reason a four-year-old has agreed to come, that is a weekend trip.
The page we read gives October and no specific dates, and carries no year anywhere. That may mean the text is evergreen and reliable, or it may mean it has not been touched in a while — we cannot tell from here. Either way, a phone call in the days before you go is worth the two minutes, especially at the start of the month and in the final week.
The listed hours are weekdays noon to dark, Saturday 9am to dark and Sunday 10am to dark, during October. Hayrides run Friday after 4pm and all day at weekends. Closing at dark is the thing to plan around, because dark moves: early in October the light holds past seven, and by the end of the month it is gone before half past six. A weekday visit late in the season therefore gives you a much shorter window than the same visit three weeks earlier. Saturday's 9am opening is the longest day of the week by a wide margin.
An hour to ninety minutes. This is a pumpkin field with a hayride and a pumpkin maze, not an all-day attraction, and it does not pretend otherwise.
October weekends, particularly the two before Halloween, are when a u-pick field in the Bowling Green area fills up. Weekday afternoons will be quiet, at the cost of a shorter window before dark.
Not published. Assume a field beside the patch, and assume it is soft after autumn rain — northwest Ohio gets plenty of it through October.
You only carry cards. Payment is cash or check only. There is an ATM on site, but that is a fee and an errand rather than a solution. Skip it too if you want a big attraction list — five listed activities is the whole thing.
No. Payment is cash or check only. There is an ATM on site if you arrive without either.
At dark, rather than at a set time. That is roughly a forty-minute swing across October, so a late-month visit has meaningfully less daylight than an early-month one.
Friday after 4pm, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Weekday hayrides outside that window are not listed.

20354 North Dixie Highway, Bowling Green, OH 43402, in Wood County. It is one of 7 patches we track in Northwest Ohio.
We track 7 patches in Northwest Ohio. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
What sets it apart locally: it has u-pick fields, which most Northwest Ohio patches on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 5 of the 7 patches we track in Northwest Ohio had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
