Pick Your Own Pumpkins at Ganyard Hill Farm!

If you're looking for a beautiful, natural pick your own pumpkin farm near Raleigh, Ganyard Hill Farm in Durham is well worth a visit.

It was an absolutely gorgeous, warm day - the kind you can only find in North Carolina in October!

Ganyard Hill Farm is one of the few local pick your own pumpkin farms that is open 7 days a week.

This pumpkin farm is open Mon - Sat 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Sun 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

 

 

 

 

After entering through the little store, paying admission, (and saying hello to the bunny and chicks inside), the kids ran right to the giant slide. 

Climb up the bales of hay, then take a fast but safe ride down the 24" pipe, and run around to do it again!  They loved climbing that huge hill of hay too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "Corn Crib" is a huge barn with cows and bunnies to say hello to - and a huge POOL of corn kernels for the kids to swim and play in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's a lot more to do at Ganyard Hill Farm then just finding where to pick your own pumpkin.

The Corn Crib was very popular, and big enough for 15-20 kids to easily play at one time. 

The corn is over a foot deep, so we made corn angels and buried the kids in corn!

 

 

 

Ganyard Hill Farm offers field trips, fun activities, and lots of educational opportunities. 

Straight ahead are the goats and pigs, that can be hand fed with freshly shucked corn.

To the right, kids can visit the cotton fields and soybean crops.

 

 

 

 

If you've never seen cotton growing up close, you'll find it fascinating. 

Fresh cotton looks just as white and fluffy as those bags of "fluff" or cotton balls.  Each big cotton blossom is divided into four sections of "fluff".

The kids will love the cotton field at Ganyard Hill Farm!

 

 

 

 

 

What better way to enjoy a beautiful fall day in the Raleigh area than with a hay ride at a pumpkin farm!

Ganyard Hill Farm has four huge hayride trailers, pulled by hard-working farm tractors.

You'll take a full, 15 minute or so tour of Ganyard Hill Farm before coming back near the Pumpkin Patch.

 

 

 

 

 

Ganyard Hill Farm has one of the largest pick your own pumpkin fields that I've seen in the area.

The pumpkins are big and ready to take home!

Admission to Ganyard Hill Farm is $12.50 for ages 2 and up, which includes a pumpkin.

Plan to spend 2-4 hours at Ganyard Hill Farm, or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it at the picnic grounds.

For school trips, teachers get in free and admission is $10 per person.  Ganyard Hill Farm is deservedly a popular field trip destination!

Ganyard Hill Farm is located at 319 Sherron Rd, Durham, NC 27703
