Pumpkin Picking: Historic Weston Orchard's Pick-Your-Own Patch, Open Daily

Looking for pumpkin picking near Kansas City? Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard runs a real pick-your-own pumpkin patch in Weston, Missouri, 35 minutes north of downtown. The pumpkins grow here. They aren't trucked in. You walk the rows, cut the one you want off the vine and pay by weight on the way out.
The patch is open every day from mid-September through October, 9am to 5pm. On weekends the hayrack runs out to the field all day. If you're short on time, pre-picked pumpkins are waiting near the market.
What's growing
- Classic jack-o'-lanterns for carving
- Pie pumpkins for baking
- Giants, for the ones who want to brag
- White and specialty pumpkins: ghost whites, blues and warty knuckleheads
- Minis and gourds for little hands
One ticket covers the farm
Admission includes all 16 activities, the two-acre corn maze, parking and the hayrack ride on weekends. You can pick apples on the same ticket through Oct. 31. In the fall the farm also opens hay mountain, the corn crib and the zinnia garden, with the Apple Express on weekends. New this year are pedal karts and a tire mountain. The bakery has apple cider donuts, caramel apples and kettle corn.
