15th Annual Pumpkin Patch

Bring your friends and family to celebrate the arrival of fall at Island Farm! On the first four Saturdays in October, Island Farm will host its 15th annual Pumpkin Patch event, taking place on October 3, 10, 17, and 24 from 9 A.M. until 3 P.M. Admission for visitors aged four and older is $11. Children 0-3 years old are admitted for free.

This year’s Pumpkin Patch will feature plenty of pumpkins – grown locally in Chowan County by a descendant of Island Farm. During the event, visitors will enjoy historic games, doll crafting, candle making, samples of apple cider and popcorn, giveaways from the blacksmith, and a new lineup of fall activities including a nail-driving contest, jumbo bubbles, a fresh maze design and more! All activities are included with the general cost of admission. The Farm will also host a maker’s market which will feature a variety of local arts, craft, food and local honey for purchase.

Island Farm is a living history farm located on the north end of Roanoke Island; it offers a trip back in time to the 1850’s along the Outer Banks through hands-on activities, historic building tours, demonstrations, working livestock, and more. Open Tuesday through Saturday, the living history farm offers live interpretation, daily mini-programs and special weekend events. The farmstead is located at 1140 N US Highway 64, north of Manteo, on Roanoke Island.

Our Pumpkin Patch is funded in part by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, Sam & Winston, Poor Richard’s Sandwich Shop, Southern Bank, Roanoke Island Fitness Lab, Darrell’s Restaurant, Northeastern Marine Construction, and Silver Charters.
