pumpkin patch

Autumn squash farm

A pumpkin patch is a field where pumpkins are grown, especially one open to visitors for picking their own in autumn.

The term evokes seasonal activities—hayrides, corn mazes, photo opportunities—that have made pumpkin patches a fall tradition in North America: We took the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick out jack-o'-lanterns.
