About Darts Farm

Darts Farm, established in 1971 by Ronald Dart, pioneers the concept of pick-your-own produce. Following Ronald's legacy, his sons Michael, James, and Paul founded Darts Farm in 1982, now a thriving agricultural hub. From October 21st to 31st, visitors can participate in the Pumpkin Festival. In the scenic pumpkin patch, guests can hand-pick pumpkins like the popular Harvest Moon, uniform Gladiator, colossal Atlantic Giant, and versatile Racer and Magic Lantern varieties. No prior booking is necessary, and prices vary based on pumpkin size. Darts Farm practices regenerative farming, fostering rich biodiversity and abundant produce.
