Where to find pumpkin farms in District of Columbia

Common questions

Pumpkins in District of Columbia typically run Sep through Oct, with peak picking in Oct. Cooler northern and higher-elevation farms tend to ripen a week or two later than the southern part of the state, so the Oct window is a middle estimate rather than a date to plan a single trip around.

This page lists 2 farms, stands and markets in District of Columbia that report pumpkins to the USDA — sorted A–Z, each with the crops it grows, its picking window and a map. Most publish no daily schedule, so call before driving out.

Most District of Columbia U-pick farms are walk-up, but popular ones sell out of ripe fruit on weekend mornings during Oct. Call ahead or check the farm's page for the day's picking conditions — many post a daily 'open / picked out' status of their own.

Many District of Columbia growers accept them. Farms and markets that take SNAP / EBT, WIC or Senior FMNP vouchers, or that accept cards, carry those tags on their listing — they come from the farm's own USDA record. For anything the record doesn't state, such as whether dogs are welcome, call ahead.
