Visit Dunedin Pumpkin Patch Before It's Too Late

DUNEDIN, FL — Don't miss out. This is the last full weekend to visit a Dunedin area pumpkin patch and buy your Halloween decorations.

If your family still wants to drop by a local pumpkin patch in the Dunedin area, we have a list of stands open.

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 near Dunedin, with an address, hours and website to check for more details.

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.
