Pumpkin Patch in Ferrara

This farmstead is nestled in the countryside between Ferrara and Ravenna, in a small locality called Longastrino, precisely on Via Molinetto.
It is not a park for children or a true Pumpkin Patch as you may imagine… Instead, it is a well-maintained, beautifully decorated old rural farmhouse that sells homegrown fruits and vegetables.

Among other local specialties, here you’ll find a vast variety of pumpkins, both ornamental and edible: green and flat ones, long and narrow ones, huge oval and yellow ones, and, of course, the classic round orange pumpkins!

Children are certainly welcome. They can pick their own pumpkins to place in their wicker baskets and learn to recognize different vegetable varieties.
