Koltiska Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins are planted and sprouting. Some have 4 leaves now. Corn for stalks are also planted and growing. We are working on a logo to put on items. What would you all be interested in. Cups, hats, t- shirts, or what. Maybe some large bags to collect gourds? This will be our 20th anniversary of the Pumpkin Patch and 28th years of growing our pumpkins. We will be doing a few things to help celebrate. Thank you all for making this all possible.

FARM FRESH EGGS. ORGANIC! $3/18 pack for smaller eggs, $3/12 pack for larger eggs. I need serious regular buyers. You won’t find better eggs 😉. Comment below if interested 🙂

Current buyers are full! Will let you know if something falls through

We ordered our pumpkin seeds. We have some new varieties on order too. We also have a new Aussie female puppy and her name, that she came with, is Pumpkin. She will probably have a hard time in the patch with everyone using that word. She is learning and seems to be smart.

Last chance to claim any of the items shown below in our lost and found post. Please look as there are some very nice items. If unclaimed by Tuesday, Dec 5th, I am donating them. Thanks for all your support and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season. 🎅🏻🎄

We want to thank everyone for making our season a wonderful one! WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON!

We have contacted the winners of the drawings and we will post those publicly this coming week! We really enjoy seeing everybody and all the happy, smiling faces of kids and adults alike coming back in from the field of pumpkins!

Next year will be our 20th anniversary! We have a few ideas up our sleeve to make it the best time yet! Keep watching our page throughout the winter and next spring for updates and possible sneak peaks 😉🎃

I spy… we look forward to seeing everyone in a few short months 🎉

While the rain has not been good for getting into the hay field, the pumpkins sure are enjoying the moisture! Can’t wait to see the variety as they grow!

Spring is here with Summer on it’s heels!! Gary and Gabby got the pumpkins all in the ground this week. Finished just before a big rain here last night of about 1/2 inch. Perfect timing for the pumpkins. Gabby told her 3 year old daughter, Paisley, that they planted the pumpkins. Paisley went to her room and put on her backpack. She then came out and said “mom I want my pants and shoes on”. Gabby said, “Are you going somewhere?” Paisley replied, “I want to go pick my pumpkin!!” I think we need to show her how pumpkins grow

To all the Moms that bring their little darlings to our pumpkin patch…..HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !!

Each certificate is for 8 people to come get 8 pumpkin at our patch for free. The certificate right now would only cost $30. That’s less that $4 for each to visit our patch and you are also helping the local FFA kids. Go shop today

On our way to dinner at the Rib and Chop to celebrate our 53rd anniversary tonight. We were married at 7 pm and it was not cold like it is now.

We would also like to thank you for all the cards and booklets from the various schools and people that we received thanking us for their pumpkin patch adventures. I like to say that the pumpkin patch is a "win win" for us all. We love operating the patch so you can all have a family outing, but could not do this if you did not come to our patch AND you could come to the patch for your visit if we did not do this. So we all win!
The fall this year was great weather. Most times we have our pumpkins frozen by now. That is why we close our patch for the season every year on the Sunday before Columbus Day. So for those who missed our patch this year, put it on your calender that we will be closed for the season on Columbus Day every year. Tonight we wrap up our pumpkin patch by taking all our employees and their spouses to dinner together at a restaurant to say thank you to all our great help, who without them we could not operate our patch. See you all in the fall of 2023.
