Pumpkin Patches near Sugar Grove, IL

Sugar Grove

Sugar Grove Pumpkin Farm opened in 2015 just off the I-88 interchange on Route 47, and the pumpkin count alone sets it apart, more than 60 varieties spanning carving, heirloom, and mini types. The farm stand runs from mid-July through pumpkin season with sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, squash, and farm-fresh eggs, then shifts fully to fall with a corn maze, mums, and gourds. Admission and parking are free.

Sugar Grove

Sycamore Pumpkin Patch ran u-pick pumpkins on Quigley Road for about a decade before closing in 2004. The 41-acre property has since gone back to farmland, and pumpkin seekers in DeKalb County now head to the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival downtown or nearby farms like Sugar Grove Pumpkin Farm instead.

Minooka

A six-generation family farm off US Highway 52 in Minooka built around a 25-acre u-pick pumpkin patch, corn maze, and flashlight maze after dark.

The zoo and patch open for the fall season only; the attached nursery and garden center run daily year-round.

Grizzy's Pumpkins sells pumpkins from a farm at the corner of Route 20 and Coral Road outside Marengo, in Coral Township. It turns up in local farm directories and a scattering of social posts from visitors, but runs without a dedicated website. Worth a call ahead to check what's picked and ready.

Tom's and Zach's Pumpkin Patch runs seasonally in Lockport, part of Will County's fall pumpkin-patch circuit. No current web listing was found describing specific hours or activities. Call ahead before visiting, since small seasonal patches like this often shift year to year.

Lockport

Tom and Zach's Pumpkin Patch works about an acre and a half of Bruce Road in Lockport, small enough that picking still means walking the field with your kids rather than riding out to it. The farm provides wagons and cutting tools, sells pie pumpkins, corn stalks, and straw, and sets up photo props around the grounds. The listing showed the patch closed for last season, so it's worth confirming current status before visiting.
