Owners Janet and “Pumpkin” Pete — at Ward’s Pumpkin Patch
Ward’s Pumpkin Patch is Open
Since 1940, the Ward family has operated Ward’s Pumpkin Patch in Ridgewood, New Jersey. We offer the best quality and selection of pumpkins, gourds, and squash in Northern New Jersey.
We have pumpkins to make common Jack-O-Lanterns as well as giant pumpkins, tiny munchkins, and gourds in unusual shapes. We offer mums, cornstalks, haystacks as well as a rotating selection of fall decorations. One of our most popular items is our painted pumpkins featuring cartoons, sports, and Halloween themes. Take an adventure on our new barrel ride, always free for our visitors! And on weekends leading up to Halloween we offer face painting, goat feedings, and other events. Check our website often for our calendar schedule. Bring your entire family for a fall outing at Ward’s Pumpkin Patch!
