Picking the perfect pumpkin can have its challenges.
Maybe you need a giant pumpkin you want to carve the most massive jack-o-lantern on your street? Or perhaps your family is more into painting pumpkins, so you’re looking for a perfectly symmetrical pumpkin.
It doesn’t matter what kind of pumpkin you are searching for, you can bet that you’ll find it at one of these amazing pumpkin patches around Central Ohio. Get out there and enjoy some good, old-fashioned fall fun.
Lehner’s Pumpkin Farm
With approximately 40 acres of pumpkins and gourds, your perfect pumpkin awaits at Lehner’s Pumpkin Farm. There are pre-picked and washed pumpkins in the yard, or you can head out to the 15-acre pumpkin patch to pick your own. Pumpkins range in price from $2.50 for pie pumpkins up to $10 for very, large carving pumpkins. Admission is free if all you’re doing is buying pumpkins from the yard!

No matter what you need a pumpkin for, you can find it at Miller’s Country Gardens. They have a massive pumpkin pile that you can choose from or, if you visit on the weekends, you can pick your own. If you’d like to take advantage of the u-pick option, you’ll hop on the hay wagon for a ride out to the pumpkin patch.
