PYO pumpkin patch returns to Bucks

DATE

September 23, 2024

The Pop-up Pumpkin Patch has popped up again in Stokenchurch HP14 3YF, for its third year, 23rd-31st October. Brooke White tells us more!

October sees the welcome return of the Pop-up Pumpkin Patch, the brainchild of Brooke and her husband Tom, a second generation farmer who has always farmed in and around the Chilterns.

Brooke says: “Usually rearing cows and sheep, we first started diversifying the farm and growing pumpkins in 2022 after a random ‘image if’ conversation over dinner one evening. That conversation turned into reality the following October!

“We love opening up the farm and giving people the opportunity to have fun with their families while picking their pumpkins from the field in which they were grown.

“With three young children, George, Mollie & Harry we are always looking for activities that we can enjoy as a family without spending a fortune at the same time! Entry to the patch is free and there’s lots for the little (and big!) ones to keep them entertained. Climb to the top of our straw bale mountain, play on a ride on tractor, spot the spooky clues with our Scavenger hunt, enjoy a tractor and trailer ride around the field, take some Insta-worthy photos and get lost in the maize maze!”

Ibstone C of E Primary School will also run a pop-up café serving hot drinks and cakes, raising funds for the PTA. Entry to the patch is free, parking is free. Simply pay for what you pick. Pumpkin prices start from £2.

Brooke adds: “We donate 100% of our café and Scavenger hunt takings to Ibstone C of E Primary School, so you can enjoy a coffee and slice of cake whilst raising money for charity. We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm!”

The patch will be open 23rd-31st October, 11am-3pm. Find more info on Instagram or find The Pop-up Pumpkin Patch on Facebook.
