Kristin's Pumpkin Patch

6300 Wind Tree Road, Springfield, IL 62712

Farms & Orchards

Started in 1995 as a income generator for Kristin's College fund. The patch has gotten bigger and bigger every year and we now grow over 30 varieties of pumpkins and decorative gourds, and spans 5 acres of land.

We provide you with all the tools needed to find the perfect pumpkin. Grab a set of clippers and a wagon and head out to the patch. There are many great photo opportunities as your little ones pick out their perfect pumpkin- and it's fun for people of all ages!

Opening for the 2018 Season on September 21st and closing October 28th.
