Best Dunedin Pumpkin Patches 2020
Escape the house and pick out a pumpkin this fall while your family enjoys the fun Dunedin pumpkin patches have to offer.
DUNEDIN, FL — Along with crisp air and turning leaves, a fall tradition for many families is a visit to a local pumpkin patch. And while the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has caused some of the region's pumpkin patches to modify how they operate, quite a few will be open this fall. We have hours, attractions and activities as the pumpkin-picking season ramps up.
In many cases, coronavirus precautions have merely changed — not shut down — area pumpkin patches and their entertainment options. Below is a list of some of our favorite pumpkin patches in and around Dunedin.
Kirk Church Pumpkin Patch
Kirk Church, 2686 Bayshore Blvd., just north of Curlew Road in Dunedin, has more than 3,000 pumpkins with four professionally designed photo spots in its pumpkin patch. All proceeds go to the annual Santa event that provides more than 350 children with a moment with Santa and a Christmas gift.

The pumpkins come from an organization called PumpkinsUSA in New Mexico that helps nonprofit organizations raise funds while employing Navajo Native American staff (including management) and, during harvest, Zuni and Hopi tribe members as well. The unemployment rate on the Navajo Reservation is 42 percent.
