About Millets Farm Centre
Millets Farm Centre is a large farm retail and visitor complex near Abingdon, with a farm shop, cafe, bakery and play barn. Its pumpkins are grown on the farm, and the pick-your-own patch is one of its big autumn draws (its summer fruit pick-your-own has closed, but the pumpkin patch continues).
Pumpkin Picking at Millets Farm Centre
You pick your own from the homegrown field, with the patch topped up from elsewhere on the farm as it gets busy. Entry to the patch is by a pre-booked ticket (separate from the rest of the centre), with the pumpkins and squash charged by size on the way out. It sells out fast, so book ahead.
