Our annual Pumpkin Festival will be this Sunday Oct 18th from 11 – 3.
We hope the weather will cooperate with us!
Join us for hotdogs, pumpkin soup, hot cider and coffee, face painting and the haunted house! And of course we have lots of pumpkins to choose from; wee tiny ones and huge ones, orange, blue, and white ones too!
Each year we invite children to submit their favorite photo of themselves in the Pumpkin Patch to our Photo Contest. The “winner” is randomly selected and they receive a really big pumpkin just in time for Halloween.
So kids and moms & dads (and grandparents) send in your photo, it can be a photo copy or an original.

Happy Fall!
It seems to me that we just finished the Annual Corn Roast, and already people are calling the farm asking for information about the Pumpkin Festival! Eish…I hope that our customers just have such a great time at these things that they get excited months in advance, and not that they really, really want a free hotdog.
So here is the info that everyone is looking for:
Lincoln Gardens Pumpkin Festival will be held on Sunday October 19th from 11:00 – 2:00. The festival is a Customer appreciation event and is totally free of charge.
There will of course be hotdogs and Wayne’s ‘nearly famous’ pumpkin squash soup. There will also be games for the kiddies & face painting. Children who come in costume will get a halloween treat, so dress up those little ones for the day! The haunted house & strawbale maze will be in full swing and there are all sorts of pumpkins to choose from. Bring your family to take a photo, enjoy a hotdog and some soup, choose your Halloween pumpkin or some beautiful gourds to decorate your home with!
When planning your family’s fall fun outing, don’t forget that the attractions at Lincoln Gardens Pumpkin Patch are always completely free of charge. Lincoln Gardens’ Pumpkin Patch has been a local tradition for over 20 years! Make our Pumpkin Patch part of your family’s fall tradition!

Have a Happy Fall!

Did you know that our Pumpkin Patch is the largest in Saskatchewan? Lincoln Gardens has been providing a fun family halloween destination for well over 20 years!
We grow so many varieties of pumpkins from wee little ornamental ones to huge 100lb beauties. We also grow blue, white, tan, warty, and other interesting types that will make your family fall display extra fun.
In Saskatchewan it is impossible to offer a ‘u-pick’ pumpkin patch due to our weather conditions. Pumpkins can not handle any frost, so once the temperature dips in October pumpkins must be kept in a heated environment and not left out in the field. Each year the Lincoln Gardens yard and store are filled with pumpkins so that families can easily choose the one they want and take some great photos while they are here.
And if pumpkins are not enough fun for you we also have a haunted house, straw bale maze and children’s ‘not so haunted forest’. The pumpkin forest is suitable for the little ones, while the haunted house is more for kids over 8 years. Unlike some pumpkin patches, we don’t charge an entrance fee or admission to any of the pumpkin patch attractions.
So start planning your family visit to Lincoln’s Pumpkin Patch, if you have not been here before, we are certain that you will be surprised by the number of pumpkins we offer!
Pumpkin Patch is open daily from Mid-late September to October 31st.
It is getting close to school tour season. We offer tours during the week days (not wednesday however). Groups must be accompanied while on the farm, so schools need to book in advance so that we are able to schedule staff to guide the group.
Children love coming during pumpkin season, and this year we will also have strawberries in September, so early groups could have a berry picking tour if they choose.
We do charge a fee for tours, $5 per child, and we require the group to bring enough adults to properly supervise the children while on the farm.
Usually we start the tour by looking at the river and then the closest fields to see what we grow on the farm and talk a little about the irrigation, planting, picking etc. Then we take the kids on a walk through the bush to see the bee hives and back to the farm store if they want to take pictures in the pumpkins and play in the maze.
Most schools don’t book enough time to really get a feel of the farm so it is a bit rushed. And really, most kids could care less, as long as they get to play in the maze.
We also offer birthday party bookings, and can arrange for games and crafts if the parent wants.
