Our Story
Great Pumpkin Patch SF began with a simple conviction: that the magic of autumn deserves a proper home in San Francisco. Nestled along the shores of Lake Merced, our patch has grown into a beloved gathering place where neighbors become friends and every visit becomes a cherished memory.
Each season, we cultivate hundreds of varieties of pumpkins, squashes, and gourds — from classic carving oranges to rare heirloom specimens in shades of cream, chartreuse, and deep slate. Our fields are tended with care, and every patch is thoughtfully arranged to create an experience that delights the eye and warms the spirit.
