Who we are

About the farm

As a family farm we have been farming in Essex since 1940, near Takeley and Bishop's Stortford. In 2016 we harvested our first crop of wholesale pumpkins, and since 2020 we have also welcomed visitors to our pick-your-own pumpkin patch: we grow over 100,000 home-grown pumpkins and squash in more than 75 varieties. In October visitors can pick pumpkins with us by day and in the evening (Pumpkin Nights), alongside our 7-acre maize maze, hay bale maze and pumpkin cannon. In spring we hold a tulip festival on our 3 acres of tulip fields, where guests can also buy pre-picked tulips; visits are by advance online booking.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
