Tips & Advice
- Book weekend reservations online at least 2 hours in advance to save $3 per person and ensure entry, as gates may close to walk-ins during peak times.

- Bring a wagon or stroller to easily transport your pumpkins and little ones through the farm and fields.
- Check the 'Crop Report' phone line (203-929-8425) on the day of your visit for the most up-to-date information on which farm location is open and picking conditions.
- For a quick purchase of pumpkins and fall decor without entering the full farm experience, visit the 'Grab and Go Tent' which requires no reservations or entry fees.
