Decker Farm is Historic Richmond Town's 11-acre historic farm, and on October weekends families comb its patch for the right pumpkin. Beyond picking there is a tractor-towed hayride, a bungee pumpkin chucker, a painting station and fall food from the Decker Farm Snack Wagon. If you want a genuine pumpkin patch without leaving the city, this is the one to plan around.
What to expect
You arrive at a historic farmstead with decorated photo spots and a pumpkin field to roam. Kids pick their pumpkins, take a loop around the farm on the hayride, and try flinging a small gourd with the bungee chucker before painting one to take home.
Good to know
- Buy tickets through Historic Richmond Town's FareHarbor link before you go.
- Pumpkins are sold by weight, so pick with the ride home in mind.
- Wear shoes that can handle a muddy field.
- Driving is the simplest option; from the St. George ferry terminal, a rideshare or the MTA trip planner will get you to Richmond Hill Rd.
- The farm is at 435 Richmond Hill Rd, separate from the main Historic Richmond Town village.
- Special event admission applies, so regular village offerings may be modified that day.
