Old MacDonald’s Farm
Old MacDonald’s Farm in Humble is among the places around Houston that are hosting pumpkin patches in October 2025.
It might not feel quite like autumn in Houston just yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get in your fall feelings ahead of Halloween. If you’re looking for a pumpkin patch near you, Houston Public Media has you covered.
Texas is one of the top producers of Pumpkins, with a yearly crop valued at more than $25 million, and this year, there will be plenty of pumpkins, according to farmers who are reporting a strong harvest.
“The product that we are pulling from the field right now is looking a lot better than even last year, and I’m sure better than the 23 crop,” Jacob Reddy, a farmer at Pumpkin Pyle northeast of Lubbock, said.
However, Reddy said he and other farmers are concerned about turning a profit after increased expenses like seed, labor and fertilizer due to inflation.
“It’s gone up tremendously the past few years, and there is no way around that expense,” Reddy said. “We want the phone to keep ringing, people to keep ordering. We need reorders to really make this thing work.”
