Our Story

Small town, family owned, big dreams.

Humble beginnings... 

Our family pumpkin patch began in 2019 with a simple idea—Wyatt growing pumpkins and selling them at local businesses. What started as a small seasonal project quickly grew into something we truly loved. After the challenges of COVID, we decided in 2023 to go all in and open our very own family pumpkin patch.

The first year was a learning curve, but each season brought growth, new traditions, and more memories made. In 2024, we began hosting fall events, and one of our favorites is the Annual Pumpkin Festival (formerly Car, Truck, & Tractor Show). It’s become a special way for us to bring the community together while celebrating the season we love most.

We started The Patch to share our family business with others and connect with people along the way. From our family to yours, thank you for being part of this journey. We hope you’ll join us in making memories that last a lifetime.
