We went to HMB yesterday looking for pumpkins. We were disappointed to find the farms along Hwy 1 commercial rather than sincere. After driving the 7+ miles of Hwy 1 with pumpkin farms, we went back to head home over Hwy 92/San Mateo Road. We spotted this field of glorious pumpkins - every size, shape, color imaginable! There was a fruit/vegetable stand, too! Parking was easy. We grabbed a wheelbarrow and headed out. These pumpkins are no longer on the vine, but they have been cut to have fascinating & varied stems of lengths, twists, turns, colors, vine leaves, and more. The pumpkins have been placed along the edge of the cornfield, which we understand usually has a maze, but that isn't our thing so we didn't check. The pumpkins are in bunches of diversity. There is plenty of rooms to roam among them and find the perfect ones to add to your wheelbarrow! I found 11 calling to me, and they came to only $40!!! 8 are in the photo and the other three went to family members. I should have picked up more as gifts! These are top notch pumpkins for colors, patterns, size variety, shape, freshness, sturdiness - whether for display as is or for carving! Bonus: we watched the chickens and ducks get fed. Bonus 2: I got fresh produce for dinners and treats over the next few days - again, great prices. Bonus 3: Staff. They were happy, friendly, helpful, nice folks.
Pumpkin patch is a family tradition - so far over 40 years! Our old stomping ground has gone way too commercial, and the staff...
So, we have found our new stomping ground at H+V Produce. Friendly, fun, reasonably priced, and sooooo many pumpkins! Their signage isn't very good, but you cannot miss the field of dream pumpkins! Happy picking! read more
