Moelker Orchards pumpkin patch

About Farmhaus Farms & Pumpkin Patch
Head on out to the pumpkin patch to find your perfect pumpkin, no matter what shape, color or size.

And there's no need to carry around all the pumpkins and gourds you choose - wheelbarrows and wagons are available to help.

The pumpkin patch is open October 1 - 31, Monday - Friday 7:30 AM - 6 PM and Sat 8 AM - 5 PM.

Change can be new and exciting! Under new ownership and now a part of the Farmhaus family, welcome back to the farm.

Since 1907, the Moelker family had been producing quality fruit and family fun on the farm for the Greater Grand Rapids community. In 2023, John & Megan (owners of Farmhaus Cider in Hudsonville) bought the orchard.

They also offer a fun and family friendly atmosphere for people to gather, pick-your-own fruit from the u-pick orchards and pumpkin patch, and enjoy the scenic beauty.

A note from the new owners:
Please join us this season as we work to preserve one of the most beautiful farms you’ll ever find. That’s our mission: preserving the past and ensuring its enjoyment for future generations. That means old traditions, new takes on old traditions and new experiences for the whole family!

Pumpkin Carving Tools & Decorating Ideas

When my kids were little, they loved picking the family pumpkin to carve for Halloween.

Now that they’re older, they all want to get their own pumpkins. To keep them from bringing home the biggest pumpkin in the field, we allowed them to pick any pumpkin they could carry back to the hayride.

This year, their goal is to find just the right broad, round face with plenty of room to design features even more (complicated) awesome than the year before.

As for the designs chosen – that varies from year to year.

Etsy is full of cool pumpkin carving templates that you have purchase for a small fee. Most of them are printable PDFs.

Here are a few that caught my eye:

We’ve acquired several carving tools like those pictured below, and the proper tools help with getting a detailed design carved into the pumpkin, as well as upping the safety factor.

Here are several tool kits that might work for your family.

If cutting into the pumpkin isn’t your thing, there are ways to dress up the orange orb with using a knife.

Consider decals, markers, or adorning your pumpkin with metal art. Here are some ideas:

  1. We picked Honey Crisp apples at Sietsma’s on Saturday, September 10 and they are some of the best apples we have EVER had!! I don’t know how long they are in season but they are wonderful. Although they don’t have all the rides/entertainment for kids, they deliver on flavor for cider and doughnuts. If you want quality, go here!!!

    1. Aside from Farmer’s Markets, I know that Koetsier’s and Schwallier’s both carry gourds in their stores. I can’t speak for the other places, however. And they are not u-pick gourds.
