Gower Fresh are mainly known for their traditional Christmas trees and their Rhossili sunflower fields, but they later broadened their farming efforts with their first-ever pick your own pumpkin event in 2018.
Since then, thousands off visitors have stopped by to get their festive fix, soaking in the atmosphere of pumpkin fields and gorgeous photo opportunities.
This year, they have kicked off their pumpkin picking season early. The farm is now open for visitors to pop down and pick their own pumpkins, with the event running until the end of the month (subject to availability).
The best part, is that this year it is free to enter as long as you purchase a pumpkin.
Robert Morgan, the farmer behind Gower Fresh has said: “We are well aware that you know people’s money and the spare change they got in their pockets or in the bank account isn’t as much as it was in years gone by, so we just want everyone to come out enjoy themselves have a great time.
“We will get busy and have some stressful moments when it gets very busy, but yeah we’ve coped in the past. So hopefully everyone will get out and about picking pumpkins and having a great day out at the farm really.”
