Last Saturday for our pick-your-own pumpkin patch!

Driving around the Driftless Region in Fall, you'll drive by many pumpkins for sale: At the gas station, on driveways, in yards, they're everywhere!

WHAT makes The Sand Farm DIFFERENT?

🍂 We grow all our pumpkins on our own land. We do not purchase pumpkins from other farms to sell on our pre-picked pumpkin cart (open 7 days a week along Hwy 171)

🎃 We have a pick-your-own pumpkin patch that is open on weekends! And it's "for real"! You can actually go into our pumpkin field and cut your chosen pumpkin off the stem, dirt and all! It's a great activity to do with children and offers more fun (we think) than just picking a pumpkin off of a cart. But, because we can't be at our patch 7 days a week, we do also have our pre-picked cart.

🌿 We are a transitioning organic farm. That means that for just under 3 years, we have planted only organic seed, applied only organic fertilizer, and applied no herbicide of any kind on our patch by hwy 171. By 2026, our transition will be complete and we will be a 100% organic pumpkin patch! 🎊

☕ We have our Cozy Cart, where we sell hot coffee, hot or cold cider, and usually a sweet treat made using our own winter squash, on weekends in September and October.
