*PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE DAVE IS AN ACTUAL CREEP!* Our neighbors and our family had started a tradition 4 years ago to take our families here to do the hay ride and purchase pumpkins and other things from Dave's pumpkin farm. We all got pumpkins, bales of hay, straw brooms and the like. Dave has no cashier and relies on an app to pay for purchases. This night his app was not working and we told him this. We kept trying. As we left, and still trying to get on the app. We got home and started unloading. And still trying to get on the app. It was night time and a truck pulls up across the street from me and sat there. I could not see into the truck and did not know who it was. I screamed out to the driver and said, who are you are you ok? I decided to call the police because I thought maybe it was somebody drunk and pulled over or he had car problems. Well, once the police arrived we found out it was Dave! He followed us home! He said we stole 300 pumpkins, which we only had about 15-20. The police told us he has a history of doing this, following people home that he feels did not pay enough. Now I have 2 little ones with me, 6 and 7. He is telling the police he wants us arrested! The police came back over to us and said "listen this guy is weird and off his rocker, have you got the app working yet"? It was not. My wife said listen... we can Zelle him for the pumpkins since the app is not working. The police said" we doubt he has Zelle, right now he is just rambling on that he wants you guys arrested but that is not going to happen because we believe you guys". The police officer said he has a Square on his phone where it can be paid through that device. So my wife walked over with the officer to Dave's truck. The total we knew was $126. Dave said just pay $119 because he could not figure out the taxes. According to the police, Dave has a history of doing this! He ruined our tradition and our kids are upset that this happened. The whole ordeal was about 2 hours long and our night was ruined! Now our whole tradition is ruined because we will not go back there where a stalker could just show up to your house! *STAY AWAY PLEASE BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS BEFORE AND WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN!* read more

I loved this place till I got banned. I love the hayride trailer and the blue lights from the tractor (John Deere 790) but sadly I'm not allowed to go back. (Don't do drugs, y'all) read more

Horrible. My family and I went for pumpkins and they trapped us in here with two other cars for saying we stole pumpkins even though we have our receipt, there are kids in the car and we have been trapped in for almost half an hour. Don't go here! read more

My friends and I have an annual tradition of picking out pumpkins and getting our carve on. Last week I was housesitting out in bufu for a coworker and the only good thing about being out in bufu was that there were like 10 pumpkin patches in close vicinity. Dave's Pumpkins happened to be less than a mile and my beautiful friends made the trip out so we could check it out. Dave's Pumpkins is unlike any of the huge big name places (Goebbert's, Didier, etc) and I actually think that's a very good thing. It doesn't have the inhumanely treated animals, nor does it have the shop packed full of goodies, nor other fun activities - also it's free to get into! There isn't much parking which isn't a huge issue most of the time but at one point it did get quite packed. My poor friend couldn't find a parking spot! They have a pretty large selection of pumpkins of all different shapes & sizes, plus some very cool BLUE pumpkins. And the great thing is, price has nothing to do with weight or size. All pumpkins are $6. There are some mini pumpkins for $2 and pie pumpkins for $3. In addition they have squash, gourds, Indian corn, haystalks and gorgeous flowers for insanely cheap prices. Plus they have free wagons to assist in toting all your goodies. Important to note all payment is on the honor system. They have a drop box for cash & checks, so come prepared knowing you can't use a credit card. There were some cute little wood cutouts which allowed for some cute photo ops but our crowning moment was climbing into a huge truck of pumpkins and getting a cute shot of that. Hayrides were closed on the day we went due to rain but they normal do occur for a $2 fee. There is also a corn maze to walk through but it wasn't well filled out when we walked through. In other words, I would be at the beginning of the maze, one friend in the middle, one at the end and we could all clearly see each other. They also had some tiny toy tractors kids could ride around on in a fenced off area. I will neither confirm nor deny my friends and I mounting these little toys and riding around. Dave's Pumpkins is a no frills pumpkin patch where you can get your fun on, on the cheap. I'd definitely recommend it if your main concern is getting pumpkins. However if you want the extravagant Halloween experience, you may want to try one of the other big name spots. read more

Wow this place is great for a simple pumpkin patch without feeling like you're getting your pockets sucked dry. Our family had such a great time today. My review is simple because this place is simple and unique. read more

Such a great little stop for pumpkins without the over the top hullabaloo and prices. Want a quick but fun trip? Or to not drop $100 at a pumpkin patch? This is your place. Safety measures were in place and the hay ride is socially distanced. read more

Dave's Pumpkins - Nice socially distanced hay ride - Christmas Trees Near Me - Huntley, Illinois

Last weekend I visited Dave's pumpkins again as I have most years for so many years. It was so fun as it always has been. The haunted hayride was even better than before & it was already awesome! There is a new haunted hayride trail this year & it is like nothing else anywhere ever. I heard someone talking about some of the cool decorations on the Haunted hayride & from what they said I realized my previous review should be corrected (I don't know how to edit it), because they sell a terrific selection of things like gourds, straw bales, & crops other of Halloween stuff but not plastic type etc. decorations. I felt a bit like a kid again in the stunning nature with the fun hayride. The pumpkins were beautiful high quality & huge. We also loved the mini & pie pumpkins near my daughter in the picture below. read more

Wow!!! What an amazing place. I just took my family here and I could not have been happier. Pumpkins are all one solid price no matter how big or small. The hayride was socially distanced for safety and the staff was beyond kind. I love the fact that Daves hasn't turned into a pumpkin "amusement park" and has a cozy feel. And how do you not support a small business that's doing it all on the honor system? Bless farmer Dave and his establishment. Will definitely be back. read more

Perfect for COVID. Not many people, room to spread out. Nice wagons. Kids always enjoy coming here. No extras so keeps the cost down for the parents. read more

dave's pumpkins is a great place. it is very wholesome. nice to have some where to go that is home spun. we use to call it, "use you imagination." here are examples of some of the " free ", activities: childrens' john deere tractors for their driving riding pleasure, for mom and dad-a collection of real tractors, too cool, pumpkin bowling, a corn maze, pastries for sale, and much more. of course pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins. $8 for any size that you can carry. so many varieties. each year the characters increase. this is the place for your family to have real old fashioned fun. payment is on the honour system. look for the magic $$$ money well. have fun we do. remember, you'll be outside thank you, dave and your family, for a haunting place to go. respectfully, j kay read more

Bought some beautiful pumpkins and apple cider donuts. The donuts may not last long ha ha. Loved the ease of purchasing online and picking it up without contact during these times with COVID. I will be back to but small gourds for fall decor! read more

$6 pumpkins Repeat after me...SIX DOLLAR PUMPKINS And I don't mean little puny sugar pumpkin pie pumpkins either. $6 any size, fit your whole family in a pumpkin pumpkins. We drive by Dave's Pumpkins, which is set in a forest by the way, every once in a while and chuckle because it's a sort of random spot for a pumpkin patch. Dave's is the real deal, folks. Sure it's on the small side, but they don't charge you an arm and a leg for pumpkins that you will carve and ditch in a few short weeks. They offer $2 hay rides, and they have various cartoon cutouts for photo ops. For $20 we talked away with 3 honkin HUGE pumpkins (each big enough to fit my 5 month old...and yes, we did exactly that), a random gourd that my hubby just HAD to have, a butternut squash for dinner, and about 100 photos of our little "tiger" in a pumpkin patch. We will definitely be making Dave's a Halloween tradition! PS it's worth noting that Dave's is cash only (read exact cash only) and is basically on an honor system. This means that there's a cute little wishing well toward the back where you deposit the money for your pumpkins. There are workers who are constantly stocking and restocking pumpkins as well as the guy running the hay rides, but there's no cashier per say. read more

So nice to just go somewhere without the absolute commercializations everywhere you go. Pleasant people, pumpkins everywhere. Good prices. Hayride was so cute. My kids had a great time and we had plenty of photo ops! read more

Pumpkins too expensive! A bought a few and when I got home they were rotten! Will never go there again!

Thank you Dave's Pumpkins for giving my daughter a great experience at her first pumpkin farm. We took the hay ride and she was amazed by all the decorations especially the huge skeleton!!! The pumpkins we took home look great on our front porch. Everyone there was kind and polite and customers were social distanced and wearing masks. It was a great comfortable experience and we will continue to get our pumpkins from Dave's in the future. read more

This was a fun little place. It's not fancy like other places but if you want big healthy pumpkins for cheap this is the place! It's not cash only they do have an option to use square to pay with no contact. As for the cash only complaint a lot of pumpkin farms are doing cash only so the fact you can pay by square was a good option for people like me who don't care cash. Also try not to get lost in the corn maze. ;) read more

This place looked enticing from the side of the road, but when we turned into the pumpkin farm it turned into a scene from American Horror Story. No humans, no pumpkins, no nothing except winding roads and scary woods. I thought someone was going to jump out of the trees and murder us. read more

Dave's Pumpkins is charming and fun. Love the setting, the hayrides, and activities. The pumpkins are beautiful and reasonably priced. What a find! read more

Lots of pumpkins to choose from and at an affordable price. There's a corn maze and a bunch of cut-outs which are good for taking pics. Amazing selection of pumpkins at all sizes. read more

Did the hayride with my little cousins and they loved it! Great selection as far as pumpkins go and not crazy for the wallet. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun fall activity. Will be coming back! read more

Dave's Pumpkins are awesome! Great selection, great price and lot of fun. We have been going to Dave's for years, and each year it gets a little better, the Corn Maze the Hay Ride are all very fun. And Dave's doesn't charge extra for these activities like some places do. They have a lot of pumpkins, all really nice quality and a great price, so finding a nice pumpkin for Halloween is easy. My 1 year old son wanted to take all of them home! read more

This was our first time coming here and we loved it! Great selection of pumpkins, fun hayrides and activities for children. We will definitely be coming here again! read more

The guy delivering pumpkins verbally assaulted our car with my child in the backseat because he had a bad case of road rage. He only got back in his car when we informed him we were calling the police. If that is how they conduct business I will NEVER be going there. read more

Dave's Pumpkins reminds me of going to pumpkin patches as a kid. There is no admission fee, and all of the pumpkins, no matter how big or giant, are $6. My husband and I were looking for a pumpkin patch that allowed dogs, since we wanted to bring our puppy along. We were able to find two gigantic pumpkins (almost too heavy to lift) and an assortment of odd looking popcorn pumpkins for our house. Dave was very friendly and helpful, too. It was our first time there, but it won't be our last. We'll be sure to visit again next Halloween! read more

Best pricing for large pumpkins, beautiful tree surrounding, and they take payments through the "honor system" (Put cash in box). I love the simplicity of it, yet it's very charming. read more

We always go to Dave's for our pumpkins. The staff makes us feel like family, the prices and quality are as good as it gets. Yes, it's not Goebberts, with all the fancy things, but that's what I like about it. Just good family fun without all the high cost's. Keep up the great work Dave! read more
