Each year the proceeds from the sales of Pink, Blue and Green Pumpkins goes towards Childhood Cancer research and family care/events. We proudly uphold this tradition in honour of our dear friend Brooke Malakoff who embraced the joys of the pumpkin patch while being a leader for BC children.
Together with the communities support and additional donations, we have donated over $9000 to help support families in need!

Corn Maze
NEW for 2023! Admittance to the corn maze will be by donation. Get special access viewing to the livestock and the immersive experience while to travel through the field. Please note that this year’s corn maze is our first attempt and will hopefully be larger in future season.
Do you have a petting zoo?
Unfortunately we do not offer a petting zoo, however we are an operating farm with livestock who are curious. You can view them from the fence line or in the corn maze. Our cows, goats and sheep are free ranging and may be shy during busy times with large crowds.
Are there carts or wagons available to haul my kids, produce and pumpkins?
Yes we offer complimentary wagons for our customers to enjoy. They are available on a first come first serve basis. We ask you respectfully consider your usage and share the experience with fellow families. Please note your responsibility of risks associated with children in and using carts. We reserve the right to stop improper use and charge for damages to the wagons if warranted.
Is it family friendly?
We do our best to make Pumpkin Fest family friendly. We offer fall fun activities for everyone to enjoy.
Please note that there are always inherent risks associated with participating in agritourism. If you follow signage, respect fences, livestock and employees, and come with a positive attitude, you will for sure have a great time!
Where are you located?
Pumpkin Fest is held at our farm in Krestova.
Is there an admission charge?
For 2023, we will have an admission charge of $5 or by donation / party.
Additional admission will be required to enter the corn maze.
Parking
Parking is located on the farm as well as a neighbouring driveway. Please respect signage and parking staff as they guide you to an open spot as well as other drivers entering or exiting the space. While we have priority parking for disabilities closer to the front, please note that you may have a decent walk to enter the space.
While we have not had an issue, we are not responsible for vehicle damage / theft.
How do you charge for pumpkins?
We charge by size, not by weight. Pumpkins will be measured at checkout.
Do you have pumpkins for making pies?
Yes we have a selection of sugar pie pumpkins as well as winter squash that make delicious sweet and savory creations.
Are dogs welcome?
Respectable pets are allowed for Pumpkin Fest, however we reserve the right to withdraw access due to safety concerns for other customers, employees and livestock. If your pet does not do well around children, other pets or large crowds, please leave them at home to avoid any potential issues.

Not for 2023. We appreciate the support and are always looking to add to this amazing experience.
