Fall Fun at Historic Weston Orchard
Ride the hayrack out to the field and pick your pumpkin straight off the vine, not from a pre-picked pile in a parking lot. Fifty acres in Weston, Missouri, about thirty-five minutes north of downtown Kansas City.
18545 Co Rd H, Weston, MO · One of 21 patches in the KC metro — worth the extra ten minutes
50+ acres of fun await
Most pumpkin patches around Kansas City truck their pumpkins in. Ours grow here. This is real pumpkin picking, the way it’s supposed to work. You ride the hayrack out to the field, walk the rows, and cut the one you want, whether you’re looking for the perfect carving pumpkin, a haul of fall decorations, or the biggest one you can get your arms around.
Pumpkins are priced by weight on the way out, honestly, so a little one costs a little and a monster costs like a monster. Wagons are welcome and the paths are stroller-friendly, if a bit bumpy.
Why families drive out
Rated 4.6 stars across 421 Google reviews, this is the patch Kansas City families tell their friends about, then keep a little quiet so it stays this way. The big-name patches pack them in shoulder to shoulder; out here your kids get the corn maze, the bounce pillow, the petting zoo, and room to run.
And only here: u-pick apples and pumpkins on the same ticket. No other patch in the metro grows both.
Every shape and size
A field of varieties, so every tradition finds its pumpkin.
Tall, ribbed, sturdy stems. The porch pumpkin.
Small, sweet and dense. One pie each, roughly.
Bring a friend. Or two. We're not carrying it.
Ghost whites, blues, warty knuckleheads.
Pocket-sized, painted-face-sized, table-sized.
Cut a bouquet on the way back from the patch.

Our biggest weekend of the year. Hayrack rides run all day to the patch, live music plays, the bakery bakes flat out, and the candy cannon fires at one o’clock sharp, both days.

The ride out is half the fun
The hayrack rolls from the barnyard out past the apple rows to the pumpkin field, and back again whenever you’re loaded down. Runs all day on weekends, and all weekend long during Pumpkin Fest.
Oh, the fun you'll have
Your admission includes 16 activities, every play zone, the two-acre corn maze, and the hayrack ride are all covered. After you’ve found the perfect pumpkin, climb Hay Mountain, bounce the giant pillow, and race the corn maze.
New this fall: pedal karts & tire mountain
Immerse yourself in the patch
As you wander the patch for the perfect pumpkin, a few things that make the day easier.
Take your time in the rows. When you find the one, cradle it from the bottom rather than lifting by the stem, stems snap, and once it’s picked, it’s yours.
The field and farm paths are natural and uneven, so closed-toed shoes make the whole day better, especially in the corn maze and play zones.
Photo spots are everywhere out here. Snap away and tag us, just leave room for the family lining up behind you.
The bakery runs cider donuts all day and the smoker’s going on fall weekends. Picking works up an appetite. Plan for it.
Bring your camera
The pumpkin rows at sunset. The zinnia garden in full color. Hay mountain with the orchard behind it. Families drive out just for these shots, photographers, ask us about session passes.

Savor seasonal flavors
No patch day is complete without the flavors that go with it. The Bakery & Market runs pumpkin pies, apple cider donuts, cinnamon rolls and caramel apples, made with fruit grown on this farm.
Then the Cider Barn: hot spiced cider or an apple slushie for the kids, a glass of hard cider or seasonal wine for the grown-ups, with the fall color doing what it does around you.
Real pricing, no gouging
Some patches nickel-and-dime you at every station. Here, one admission covers all 16 activities, the hayrack ride, the corn maze and parking. Pumpkins are priced by weight after you pick.

Straight up I-29 north, exit at Platte City and follow the signs through downtown Weston. The drive along the bluffs is half the fun in October.
Cross the river at the Centennial Bridge and you're twenty minutes of farmland from the patch. We're the closest orchard to post, and active military get a discounted rate with ID.
Our nearest neighbors. Fifteen minutes up Highway 273, close enough for an after-school pumpkin run on a $9 weekday.
South on I-29 or the pretty way down Highway 59 through Atchison. Either way you're picking pumpkins within the hour.
Across the bridge and south through Missouri river country. Pair the patch with an afternoon in historic downtown Weston.
Up Highway 45 along the river the whole way, the closest real pick-from-the-vine patch to the Northland.
Named one of the country's ten best orchards by USA Today. The patch is just the start of it.
Before you drive out
The patch runs daily through October, 9am to 5pm, with hayrack rides out to the field on weekends. Apples are picking at the same time, so one admission covers both.
Yes — pumpkins grow in our field and you cut them from the vine. Pre-picked pumpkins are also available near the market if you’re short on time.
Pumpkins are priced by weight after you pick, on top of admission. Little ones cost a little; the giants cost like giants.
About 35 minutes north of downtown Kansas City up I-29 — and 30 minutes from Leavenworth, 15 from Platte City, 40 from St. Joseph.
Our biggest weekend of the year, held the last weekend of September — live music, hayrack rides running all day, the bakery in full swing, and the candy cannon at 1pm both days. Regular fall admission covers it.
Two acres of it, cut fresh every fall, included with admission. The zinnia garden sits next door for a calmer detour.
Closed-toed shoes. The field and farm paths are natural and uneven, and the corn maze is real dirt. Dress for a farm, because that’s what this is.
Your fall tradition starts today
Open every day, 9am–5pm. Ride out, pick from the vine, and make an afternoon of it.
