Go Pumpkin Picking In Delaware at Ramsey's Farm

There’s nothing like pumpkin picking in Delaware to celebrate the fall season, and the Brandywine Valley is the perfect place to enjoy the changing leaves and newfound chill in the air. While there are multiple pumpkin picking options in the First State, Ramsey’s Farm in Wilmington has by far the most variety. Each season, the 10-12 acre pumpkin field at Ramsey’s Farm yields approximately 50,000 pumpkins to choose from! That’s one big pumpkin patch.

Ramsey's Farm, located in Wilmington, Delaware, welcomes tons of visitors back each fall to pick out pumpkins and to engage in other fun fall activities, like wandering through the 10-acre corn maze. There's even a smaller corn maze for younger kids!

Pumpkins are charged by weight, at 70 cents a pound. Otherwise there's no charge or ticket needed to go pick your own pumpkin from the field. There are also some smaller and specialty pumpkins sold by the piece in a tent beside the pumpkin patch.

The pumpkins come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can go for the classic look, or bring home something a little more unique to spice up your autumn decor.

There are lots of fun activities for kids, from pumpkin painting to a farm yard playground to visiting and even feeding barnyard animals like chickens, sheep, cows, and more.

And of course, no pumpkin-picking excursion is complete without a hayride! Take in the autumn beauty of the Brandywine Valley as you ride along in the hay wagon. You can also take an extended nighttime hayride during bonfire night events at Ramsey's Farm.

Don't forget to check out the produce stand for fresh fall produce to bring home. Produce is grown on the farm and on neighboring family farms in the area.

Before you head out, be sure to try an apple cider doughnut for a sweet and cinnamon-y taste of autumn. It's the perfect way to cap off your pumpkin-picking adventure.

The Ramsey’s Farm pumpkin patch is open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from September 16 to October 29.
