The People Behind Our Pumpkins
At Wasing, our connection to the land lies at the heart of everything we do. Across 4,000 acres in Berkshire, farming shapes how we care for the land, grow our food and create experiences to share.
Our pumpkins are grown by the people who know this landscape best. Farm Manager James leads the team, while Matt cares for our livestock, including our organic, grass-fed Sussex cattle. Together, they nurture healthy soils, support biodiversity and create a landscape where wildlife and agriculture flourish.
For Paul, farming here is a lifelong connection. Born on the estate, he has spent over fifty years caring for its land. Farm & Estate Foreman Jamie continues a family tradition, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfathers, who also worked here.
Through organic farming and Countryside Stewardship, we support pollinators and farmland birds with wildflower and seed crops, while carefully managing our hedgerows, habitats and waterways.
When you pick a Wasing pumpkin, you’re taking home more than something grown in Berkshire. You’re taking home a little piece of the land and a story shaped by generations of care.

So many amazing photo opportunities and staggered times of tickets really helped, it was busy but never felt busy, it was well organised, every member of staff was lovely, and litter picking happening constantly was really refreshing to see. Also really well priced! Overall incredible experience and would love to go back! I’ve recommended to so many people already! Happy Halloween.

The pumpkin patch is really AMAZING! Magical, beautiful, the whole trail is well cared (I had no idea about the trail). The pumpkin carriage is one thing apart, we have just returned from Disneyland and my little one was absolutetluy delighted! We went in a day which was supposed to be full (the tickets were sold out for the day) and still no busy at all. Super confortble to walk around and have pictures taken. The food court was great, even with vegan & gluten free options (my case). Definitely returning next year!

Took our grandchildren aged 3 and 6 to this event and they loved it. We came 3 years ago and the trail has grown since then with more to see and do. They loved following the map and ticking things off as they went. They were just the right age to be kept them busy for a good half an hour. Picking their own pumpkins and pushing the barrow was fun too. There are plenty of friendly staff around. The food and drink offering at the end is wide ranging and of good quality. I think the cost is fair for half a day’s activity and I’d recommend for families with children up to about 10.

Absolutely loved our visit here. The farm has made the most of the pumpkin picking trail by giving children hands on activities, things to spot and see, space to run around in and the opportunity to pick out their own pumpkins from the field.
Even the rain didn’t spoil our visit. The outdoor café, under the stretched tent with a warming pumpkin soup, pastry and coffee were all very delicious and not at ridiculously high prices too.
