On average each year two to three thousand pumpkins are grown by Joel our Head Grower. He is a true Hawarden OG having worked on the estate for over almost 15 years, and we couldn’t do pumpkin season without him. ❤️‍🔥 Joel begins planting at the end of May and grows a handful of varieties including goliath, racer, knucklehead and casper.

All available for you to take home now. 🎃

We have wheelbarrows and a muddy pumpkin washing station, dogs on leads are welcome and there’s no need to book just pay for what you pick on the way out via the Farm Shop.

Postcards from our wedding open day.
