    To make pumpkin picking and carrying easier, we provide wheelbarrows, and the fields are located near the entrance. It’s up to you to decide how far you want to go to pick them. Of course, you can bring your stroller or cart, preferably with big wheels.

  3. Is it possible to have a picnic?

    Absolutely! And we encourage you to do so. There are several picnic areas in the field and the playground area, and of course you can bring your own blankets.

    Didn’t bring any snacks? There are several options available :

    Discover our new Café Marineau and try paninis, sandwiches, mocktails, beers and its famous sangria (This Café is reserved for people taking part in fields activities (please validate on our social media that it is open during your visit).

    Otherwise, Take a detour to our farmer’s market; you’re sure to find something you like.

    Looking for something sweet or something to quench your thirst? Our artisanal ice cream stand is a must with its unique delicacies made from the fruits of our fields.

  4. Does the farm still operate when it rains?

    Rain does not necessarily mean we close. We invite you to visit our social media (Facebook, Instagram) to check or to contact us.

How to choose and maximize the preservation of your pumpkin

Choose a pumpkin that is firm and undamaged. Once pierced, the pumpkin will not keep as long. If you keep it outside, avoid leaving it in the sun or rain.

In addition, the Internet is full of delicious sweet and savoury recipes for your harvest, so don’t hesitate to try them! You can also dry the seeds and freeze the flesh.

We can’t wait to welcome you this fall for u-pick pumpkins!
