Nathan’s Farm at Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire is a small family-run petting farm that adds a pumpkin patch each October half-term. It is a gentle, low-key outing aimed at younger children: you can meet the animals, visit the farm shop and café, and pick out a pumpkin. The pumpkin area is modest rather than a large open field, so set your expectations accordingly.
About Nathan’s Farm
Nathan’s Farm is a family-run petting farm at Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire, set up in memory of the owners’ son Nathan. Alongside the animals, farm shop and café, it runs a small pumpkin patch over the October half-term.
Pumpkin Picking at Nathan’s Farm
The pumpkin picking here is a small-scale, child-friendly activity rather than a large field of rows. Visitors choose and pay for a pumpkin alongside a visit to the petting animals (goats, sheep, pigs, alpacas, horses and chickens). It suits families with young children looking for a quiet outing rather than those wanting acres of pumpkins to roam.
Opening Times & Prices
The pumpkin patch runs over the October half-term. In past seasons pumpkins have been priced individually (around £5 each) with a small charge per car for entry and parking, though these figures are from previous years and were not confirmed for the coming season at the time of writing. Please check the farm’s website or Facebook page for the current dates and prices before visiting.
