Laurel Highlands pumpkin patches

What to expect in Laurel Highlands

3 of the 38 Pennsylvania patches we track are in Laurel Highlands, spread across Westmoreland County. 2 of them run a corn or crop maze, and 1 have farm animals your kids can get close to. 1 have their 2026 dates confirmed on the farm's own site.

This is real pumpkin country. Farms here grow their own crop and cut mazes into their own corn, which also means the season ends when the weather says so: a hard frost takes the maze down, and some farms keep the patch open a week or two after it. Two practical consequences. Daylight collapses through October, so a farm that closes "at dark" gives you over an hour less on Halloween weekend than it did in late September. And field parking after autumn rain is the single most common complaint at farms in this part of the country — boots, not trainers.
