If Charlie Brown was real, we’d bet he could be found on Halloween night in the thriving pumpkin fields at Riverbend Farm in Midland, North Carolina (waiting patiently for the Great Pumpkin to arrive, of course). The enormous pumpkin grower is home to a fun farm that’s ideal for families to discover a pumpkin patch adventure that takes them into more than 25 brightly colored acres of ripe pumpkins for u-pick memories everyone will cherish.
In 2019, Riverbend Farms will celebrate 28 years of hosting families at their adventure farm and pumpkin patch found a mere 30 minutes east of Charlotte.

Expect to find nearly a rainbow of colors and shapes. The farm is growing five different varieties this year and they’ll be ripe for the picking soon!

For a mere $5.50 per person (age two and older), you’ll enjoy a fun-filled day that begins with a wagon ride pulled by a tractor. Venture out into the field and find your perfect pumpkin(s). They’re priced at only 40 cents per pound.

Maybe you can’t stay all night like Charlie Brown did in his favorite pumpkin patch, but you can stay in the pumpkin patch at Riverbend Farms all day if you want. (The hours that wagons will run each day are listed below.)

When you get your fill of pumpkins, head to the farm’s country store to fill up on ice cream… there’s plenty more adventure ahead.

Riverbend Farm is widely lauded for their farmyard, which is more like a giant playground. Your admission includes hours of fun on the farm-themed playground that includes several slides. Climb to the top of a silo to try out many of them.

Also be sure to check out the barn and the farm’s friendly animals.

Some of them aren’t real, but they’re still friendly…

On the weekends only, Riverbend has an air cannon you can fire at a real school bus. It’s $1 for two shots… and worth every penny!
