About Delf Farmshop & Nursery
Delf is a working family farm and nursery near Sandwich, growing a range of crops including strawberries, sweetcorn, lavender and flowers, and selling Christmas trees later in the year. The October pumpkin field is one of its seasonal highlights, run as a straightforward pick-your-own rather than a big themed event.
Pumpkin Picking at Delf Farmshop
You head into the pumpkin field and pick your own straight from the patch, paying only for what you take. There is no entry fee. It is a genuine pick-your-own experience, so wellies are a good idea after rain, and the farm shop and nursery are there for a browse before or after.
