Tips to make the most of your pumpkin picking in Hampshire

The pumpkins are grown (or are laid out) in fields. If you’re visiting these Hampshire pumpkin fields on a wet day or it has previously been raining, the pumpkin patches will be muddy. It is usually always best to wear wellies or other suitable footwear for this family-friendly day out.
PYO pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes. Some are better for eating than others and the farm should be able to tell you which ones these are. See here for zero waste pumpkin ideas.
The majority of farms will sell pumpkins by weight or size. Check the price per kg before letting the kids choose the largest, heaviest pumpkin as the cost will soon add up!
Avoid pumpkins with soft spots or cuts as this signals a rotting pumpkin. It won’t last long at all when carved. Pumpkins should be firm.
Heavier pumpkins mean denser walls which are best for carving.
Many of these pumpkin farms in Hampshire have wheelbarrows which you may or may not need to pay a deposit for. If they don’t have wheelbarrows, you should consider taking a sturdy bag.
Don’t carry the pumpkin by the stalk as it may snap off and your pumpkin will get damaged.
Some of these PYO pumpkin farms in Hampshire will have carving facilities onsite. If they don’t, you might want to look into getting one of these pumpkin carving kits.
