Our biggest weekend of the year

The last weekend of September

Pumpkin Fest at Historic Weston Orchard

One weekend, every year, the whole farm runs flat out. Hayrack rides out to the patch all day, live music going, the bakery frying cider donuts as fast as it can, and the candy cannon at 1pm sharp on both days. It is all included in one ticket, thirty five minutes north of Kansas City.

Every ticket link on this page goes to /tickets, so the checkout URL only ever has to be updated in one place.

The patch

The Pumpkin Patch Itself

The hayrack drops you at the patch and you walk the rows and cut your own. Pick from the vine, not from a pile.

Pumpkins are priced by weight after you pick, the same way the fruit is. There is a full rundown of varieties, what the patch is like and when to come on the pumpkin patch page, so we will not repeat it here.
