Many of these pumpkin patches also have fun fall activities for the entire family, so you can make a full day out of picking out your future jack-o-lantern or fall decor.
Top Tips For Visiting the Pumpkin Patch
Let’s make our trip to the pumpkin patch enjoyable, shall we? These tips were gathered through years of experience by the KAG team, so trust us, we know a thing or two about making your pumpkin patch trip as carefree as possible.
- Watch for fire ant hills and other biting insects, especially if it’s wet. Something about those fields seems to attract those pesky critters.
- Remind children to pick up pumpkins from the bottom and not the stem. It’s easier to carve with a good stem still attached and cracked or smashed fallen pumpkins really aren’t very much fun.
- Bring plenty of water, especially if you’re going to farm and plan to stay awhile. Fall in Greenville is often still pretty hot, and hunting for that perfect pumpkin might take a while.
- Consider bringing a picnic. Lots of the farms listed have picnic facilities and that gives you a chance to relax and enjoy the day a bit longer.

“We really liked our visit to Nix. It was about an hour from our house in Taylors, SC, and the view was a treat and really fit the fall vibe. We pushed our kids in the wagon around the pumpkin patch, and they loved picking their pumpkin out and cutting it from the vine. Don’t miss out on their cider slush!!” – Erin G.
