Pumpkin Patches In San Antonio and Beyond

I have been dreaming of hayrides, kettle corn, and exploring a pumpkin patch to keep my mind off the heat and humidity.

Plenty of local pumpkin patches are easily accessible, and many are free. But if you ask me, pumpkin patch season is a great reason to get out and explore new places. Take a drive and see a different part of Texas!

For those wanting to pick your own pumpkin from a live pumpkin vine, you’ll need to take a drive (unless you have your own garden!) out to George Farms in Poteet! The picking experience and opportunity for the kids to see a working farm will be worth the drive.

Take some pictures while you’re out among the pumpkins and gourds and share them in our Alamo City Moms Community + Conversation Facebook group! Happy pumpkin season!
