When the beautiful autumn weather arrives in Germany, with that special aroma of fall in the air and the crisp crunch of leaves underfoot, our thoughts often turn to pumpkins, gourds, apples and Halloween. These are few farms near Frankfurt and Wiesbaden where you can go find that special pumpkin and stock up on fresh apples for pies and snacking. Check their websites for special events happening in Sept. & Oct.Pauls Bauernhof offers not only pumpkins, but also lots of other fresh veggies at their farm store. It isn't a pumpkin patch, but they have wonderful fresh produce.

If you just want to buy a pumpkin to carve, most of the grocery stores, like Rewe or Penny Markt have them for around 3 euro. If you want eating pumpkins, to make pies, breads, soups, etc. all of the Farmers Markets as well as the grocery stores have them in abundance. The most popular are the Hokaido Pumpkins, as you don't need to peel them!
