Family Business
Starting 13 years ago with 300 pumpkins, this family-run business has grown steadily over the years. Now, we grow 1000's of pumpkins and ornamental squashes!
In 2021, we held our inaugural Sunflower Experience. Over 40,000 sunflowers to explore on a lovely summers day in the Nottinghamshire countryside. In 2022, we will be opening the Sunflower Experience again, alongside some other lovely pick-your-own produce!
In 2023, we are very excited to be launching our lavender fields, Nottinghamshire Lavender!

We will be open daily from 9.30am - 5pm from Friday 14th October until the 31st October.

We may have to close if there is adverse weather conditions. We regularly update our social media, so please check there in the first instance.
In the event that we sell out of pumpkins before the 31st, then we will close, as we only sell what we grow. But as we have circa 40,000 pumpkins, squashes and gourds, it is unlikely that we will sell out.
