2026 Pumpkin Picking In Maryland: Farms, Mazes, Hayrack Rides

Marylanders have less than a month to visit a local pumpkin patch and snatch up the biggest, roundest or kookiest looking gourd for their front porch.

Visiting a pumpkin patch isn't just about choosing the best jack-o-lantern to carve- it's a whole experience. Many pumpkin patches in Maryland also offer activities such as games for kids, corn mazes and hay rides.

Patch has rounded up a list of popular patches across Maryland to help people plan their pumpkin-picking outing. Enjoy!
