Ready to plan your trip to Hundsader Farms Bradenton pumpkin patch? Here are some tips!
Hunsader Farms is massive and that means there are going to be lines, so here are some tips to know before you go!
Cash is King
While the produce market and ice cream shop take cards, the rest of the festival (admissions and parking) is cash only.
Timing is everything
If you want the Instagram perfect photos without thousands of people in the background, I suggest going when they open at 8AM. The address is 5500 Co Rd 675, Bradenton, FL 34211
U-Pick
If you are wanting to U-pick, it opens an hour before the market. Planning on a major haul? Bring your own 5-gallon bucket for tomatoes and they will give you a flat half price! You can call the hotline before you go.
Dress for a hike
This is a working farm and it will be dusty! The sun is relentless during the day as well. It’s best to wear closed toed shoes, bring a hat, and even a portable neck fan.
Pets
Please leave your pet at home for safety of their own livestock and the petting zoo. Check their official rules about service animals.
