Pick Your Own Pumpkin
Tulleys Farm also hold ‘pick your own pumpkins’ which is great fun for the kids! With an amazing, 20 acres of pumpkin fields and 150,000 pumpkins to pick from! The rambling fields of vines have pumpkins of all different shapes, sizes, and textures, whether you want the perfect round pumpkin to carve a scary face out of, or a big lumpy one to make a delicious pie or even to simply decorate your home with!
