Another good question is about the type of pumpkins they have available. Below are my tips for choosing the type of pumpkin you need. You may also want to ask if there will be food available or places to eat if you want to bring your own family picnic .

How to Choose A Pumpkin

There are three main types of pumpkins: carving, gourds, and baking or pie pumpkins. The type of pumpkin you need will depend on what you will do with it.

You will want to ensure the pumpkin patch you visit has the type of pumpkin you want. Will you be carving, decorating, baking, or using pumpkins for the educational activities listed in the next section?

If you want to make homemade pumpkin puree , you will want to choose a small 8 to 10-inch sugar pumpkin. Sugar pumpkins are sweeter than other pumpkins and have been developed for eating. Look for a firm pumpkin with no soft spots or signs of any rot. A few more pumpkin recipe ideas are listed below.

If you are carving your pumpkins or decorating them in some way, look for a visually appealing pumpkin without any soft spots or signs of rot. Choose a pumpkin with a stem and ensure it sits how you want it to when placed on a flat surface.

You will also want to choose a color and shape that will work for the design you have in mind. Pumpkin carving ideas and no-carve decorating ideas can be found below.

Make sure to grab an extra pumpkin or two to try some fun pumpkin activities for kids listed in the next section!

Cool article for pumpkin patches. You mentioned you should try to find out if the pumpkin patch has pumpkins you are looking for. It sounds important to research different types of pumpkins before hand so you have a better idea of what you should look for.

Yes, it is Taylor.

I think most pumpkin patches that are open to the public have carving pumpkins available. But if you are looking for pumpkins to bake with it is important to make sure the pumpkin patch has sugar pie pumpkins!

This is a really good idea. We have just concluded a month long unit study on Halloween and pumpkins today. As part of the unit study, I took the twins to a pumpkin patch and read stories about pumpkins as well. We even had our own version of a culinary bake off with pumpkins. And we did some math related to pumpkins too. I even had the children participate in some fun science experiments that revolved around pumpkins.

To wrap things up, I finished by allowing both kids to do some art with pumpkins. Next time I’m going to have them write a recount about their trip to a pumpkin patch. And make a mini fact file. The kids loved it. I made pumpkin soup and pie. We even tried making pumpkin crumble. It was lovely!

Wow, Leah! That sounds like you had an amazing time learning about pumpkins… Well done!

Virtual Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

A Virtual Pumpkin Patch Field Trip is perfect, especially during the fall season. Let’s go on a  trip to a pumpkin patch. A Virtual Pumpkin Patch Field Trip is the BEST fall activity for your students. 

Happy Fall Y’all! Here in the south, we love fall. I especially love the fall season and all the fun activities and beautiful weather it brings. I can tell my students do too.  As teachers, we are able to implement so many fun components to our classrooms, standards, and curriculums especially classroom décor and coordinating fall-themed activities. I mean, it’s every teacher’s dream is to find super engaging lessons that are also cute!

Virtual field trips are perfect to implement in the classroom. Whether you are able to take field trips away from school or not, virtual field trips are still a great option and can be implemented in many different ways. You can implement it for Fun Friday or choose a standards-based field trip. Personally, standards-based virtual field trips are my favorite because I feel you get the most bang for your buck.

Students get to experience places and things they otherwise never would, plus the experience is directly related to the standards. Oh wait, I forgot the BEST part...with all the virtual field trips you find here, the work is done for you!

Travel virtually with your students to explore an amazing pumpkin patch in California. The narrator educates students on pumpkin sizes, shapes, and colors. The cool and interesting facts students will learn are directly related to the Pumpkin Patch Virtual Field Trip resource . Students will learn so much about pumpkins. They will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and learn how a pumpkin grows in all colors, shapes, and sizes. My students also think the life cycle of a pumpkin is interesting and enjoy this unit. If you really want to step up the unit, bake pumpkin seeds for student's to taste. You also can purchase or bake homemade pumpkin pie for student's to try. My students love this tasty treat. When I started incorporating pumpkin pie into this unit, I was very surprised at how many students had never eaten it. It's a cool memory for the first time students taste it to be with their favorite teacher!

Virtual Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patch Virtual Field Trip Resource

Here is a little bit more of what’s included in this Virtual Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch :

• Virtual Pumpkin Patch Virtual Field Trip Video
• "My Reflection" Page with questions
• 20 Questions Over the Virtual Pumpkin Patch Virtual Field Trip Video (multiple choice)
• K-W-L Chart
• Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Chart
• Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Fill-in-the-Blank
• Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Color Sheet
• How to Use Pumpkin
• Pumpkin Color Sheet

 As you can see, everything you need to have an EPIC virtual field trip to the pumpkin patch is included. This resource can be broken up into 1-2 days depending on your schedule. I know you are going to love this experience as much as your students. 

Virtual Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Extensions

I wanted to share with you a few suggestions for extensions. If you have a local pumpkin farm, Walmart, or grocery store nearby, ask for donations of pumpkins. You may also ask parents to send in a pumpkin with their child if you have good parent support.  If possible get one for every student. Allow students time to decorate their pumpkin and take it home. 

 If getting a pumpkin for every student isn’t possible, grab a couple of different shapes and sizes of pumpkins for your classroom. This is great so students can smell and touch the pumpkin. If time allows, cut the pumpkin open so students can see and touch the seeds and guts on the pumpkins.

 To go the extra mile, roast pumpkins seeds for your class. You also can order roasted pumpkin seeds from Amazon. Yes, Amazon has everything and I am thankful!

I don't know about you but I love this time of year. The fall season offers so many fun activities that can incorporate inside and outside of the classroom. Student are energized from summer break. I also love the idea of fall festivals, pumpkins, Halloween, Thanksgiving, leading up to Christmas. 

Children's Books about Pumpkins

My students love books! I put together a great list of children’s books about pumpkins for you. My students love a good read aloud and the fall season offers so many fun choices that you can relate to content. Click the links below to shop on Amazon or watch a video recording of the read-aloud.

I hope you will implement a virtual pumpkin patch field trip and the other activities mentioned with your students!  They are sure to enjoy participating and making fun memories. I just know your students will enjoy the virtual field trip pumpkin patch as much as mine do!

Enjoy your trip!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Farm Field Trips Just Minutes From Wichita

Learn and play on the prairie without the long drive. Applejack Pumpkin Patch is conveniently located off Highway 54/Kellogg—an easy 6 miles east of Wichita and 3 miles east of Andover.

Sharing the Love

“Went with my Kinders and they loooooved it! Great experience.” – Hannah L.

“The staff members were very helpful in entertaining our senior group and helping them get around. Great place for all ages.” – Ashley G.

“We went for a field trip and had a blast. They had a variety of things to do.” – Angela M.

“I love coming to your patch and have recommended you to several other teachers and families who have also made your experience one of their yearly field trips!” – Nicole

“My daughter’s Kindergarten class came here for their first field trip. We got to do a little bit of everything!” – Kelly A.

Field Trip Policies & FAQs

• Must enter as a group. Gather in the Group Holding Area near the front entrance. The group representative checks in.
• One person pays for the entire group. Individuals paying separately will not receive the group rate.
• Sheltered lunch/snack area reservations for weekday field trips are available on request.
• We hold schedules as close as possible to the requested time. However, this depends on the group size and registration time.
• Only weekday field trips are allowed to bring sack lunches/snacks. Outside food is not allowed on weekends.

Bus Driver Clarification

A “bus driver” is an organization transportation employee (must have ID) responsible for driving a 10+ passenger organization vehicle specifically for field trip purposes. (Sorry, parent carpools, although very much appreciated, do not constitute “bus drivers.”) Bus drivers are allowed free entrance into Applejack Pumpkin Patch to enjoy the activities with their students. Bus driver guests (family, friends, etc.) will be expected to pay the general admission fee. The admission fee must be included with the field trip payment to receive the group rate.

Bus Instructions

Please Note: There is only one entrance/exit to the parking lot.

Passenger Drop-Off: When entering the patch parking lot, immediately turn right and drive around to the “Group Holding Area” near the front entrance. If you plan on staying once the passengers have disembarked, continue around the circle towards the entrance and park in line along the east fence (the sign is marked “Bus Parking.”) You are welcome to enter the patch for free (with ID).

Passenger Pick-Up: Take the same route to pick up passengers near the “Group Holding Area” and proceed to the exit.

What is your COVID policy?

Respectful distancing – EXPECTED Hand Sanitizer – AVAILABLE Masks – OPTIONAL PLEASE EMPLOY – common courtesy and good sense.

We do not require masks as this is a mostly outdoor activity, and distancing is easily achieved. We are leaving it up to the individual groups, schools and families to determine if masks are needed. If the school requires masks, then you probably should continue that on field trips. Applejack outdoor staff will not be required to wear masks. However, several may choose to.

Adjustments we will likely make are limiting the number of participants on certain activities at a time, and cleaning frequently touched areas more often (we already had that going for us). It will be up to the individual to employ respectful distancing when waiting. It will be up to parents (responsible adults) to decide which activities they will allow their child to participate in/on.

Guests who are sick or show symptoms of illness should not participate. If not ready/able to venture out, you are welcome to purchase pumpkins to make your own mini patch at your school/business/home. Contact us for pricing, payment and pick-up.

How long are the field trips?

Allow at least two hours for your field trip plus additional time if you plan on lunch or snacks during your visit.

Spring Field Trips

Book your 2024 spring field trip now.

Please read this section carefully before booking your trip.

We understand that every group is unique, which is why we offer a hybrid field trip experience that combines self-guided exploration with guided activities. This means your group can navigate through various stations at their own pace, and create the ideal field trip!

Here's a sneak peek of what your students can look forward to during their visit:

• Bee Room (self-guided): Step into the fascinating world of bees as your students explore our Bee Room. They will have the opportunity to learn about the equipment used in beekeeping, examine an empty hive, and gain valuable insights into the life cycle and importance of these essential pollinators.
• Pumpkin Planting (guided): Discover the magic of the pumpkin life cycle firsthand! Students will learn how pumpkins grow from seed to harvest. Each participant will even have the chance to plant their very own pumpkin in our fields, which they can later return to pick during the fall.
• Hayrides (guided): Hop aboard our charming hayrides for a scenic tour through our fields. Our knowledgeable guides will share interesting tidbits about the farm, offering an educational and enjoyable experience for all.
• Animals (self-guided): Meet and interact with our friendly farm animals and uncover fun facts about cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and more.
• Activity Fields (self-guided): Students can burn off energy in our ball zone, enjoy thrilling slides, and explore various play areas, providing a perfect balance of education and recreation.

Other Information:

• We will be sharing materials and maps with registered teachers in April to help you prepare for your field trip.
• We will be hosting field trips on Thursdays and Fridays from May 2 nd - May 31 st .
• We have a minimum group size of 15 attendees. This number includes students, chaperones, and teachers.
• Field trip admission is $10 per person. This includes students, chaperones, and siblings. One teacher per class is free, as well as children under two years old.
• We collect payment upon arrival, and will accept cash, check, or card. If your school requires payment over the phone or with an invoice, please contact [email protected] to coordinate payment.
• Our Spring field trips are estimated to be 1.5-2 hours long. This depends on how much time your group spends at the self-guided stations and if your group has lunch/snack at the farm.
• You are welcome to have your group eat lunch/snack while at the farm. We have limited covered eating areas and picnic tables that are on a first come first serve basis.

We look forward to welcoming you and your students to Plumper Pumpkin Patch this spring for a day filled with learning, laughter, and the joys of farm life.

Please contact us at 503-645-9561, or [email protected] with any questions!

Educational

On our farm we have many animals: pigs, alpacas, cows, goats, rabbits, turkeys, chickens, sheep and more! Children love to check out the farm animals and the animals love the attention!

Bring your group to the farm in the spring to help plant pumpkins. Your group gets to go out into the field with a farmer and plant a row of pumpkin seeds while learning about how pumpkins grow!

See how real farmers work! We enjoy sharing the diversity of the farm ecosystem with pre-school and elementary school children in our spring farm tours. We think it is important for the children to connect back with the land and gain some basic knowledge of the natural world.
