Help Bring the U-Pick Pumpkin Patch Party to Life — Right Here in Detroit!

We’re back for the 3rd Annual U-Pick Pumpkin Patch Party — and this year, we’re going bigger and better than ever before!

Last fall, over 400 Detroiters joined us for a day of laughter, cider, games, pumpkins, and more. This year, we’re planting seeds of joy once again — right here in Detroit, where our roots run, deep.

But to make this beloved event happen — and keep it free and accessible for families — we need your help.

Why We Do This

As a native Detroiter, I remember long drives out to the suburbs just to enjoy a festival. I also remember missing out when our car broke down, or the cost was just too high. Those experiences inspired us to grow something different — a harvest celebration right here in the heart of the city, where every Detroiter can feel the joy of the season.

This isn’t just another event — it’s a homegrown harvest festival, made for us, by us.

What Your Support Brings to Life

With your donation, you’ll help us offer:

Pumpkin Picking – from pumpkins grown right on our farm!
Hands-on learning about growing food from seed to harvest
Horse Riding & Petting Zoo, hosted by Black Detroiters
Face painting and a bounce house for kids of all ages
Hot cider and doughnuts (because it’s not a festival without them!)
Costumes encouraged – joy required

We believe in creating joyful, accessible experiences for our community. Your support helps us provide everything at low or no cost to families.

Give to Grow the Fun

Whether you can give $5 or $500, every bit helps us bring the magic of harvest season to our neighborhood. Your donation supports supplies, food, decorations, games, and of course — our homegrown pumpkins.

Let’s grow something beautiful, together.
