This is one of the best bits about coming Pumpkin Picking at Hallcourt Farm! Our beautiful barn is decked out for Halloween and we provide pumpkin carving equipment and easy to wash acrylic paints so you can leave the mess right here and take your pumpkin home ready for the spooky festivities!
We would recommend you bring a bag or a box for your pumpkin if painted pumpkins are your thing - it helps to keep you (and your car) clean!
Stickers are also available to purchase if you fancy something more than carving and decorating with paints.

Nature can be tough and whether it’s the weather or hungry deer we have to contend with, it can mean we have to top up our supply from local farmers who have better irrigation - and solid fences!
