    A visitor writes on October 17, 2009: "I was on the search for a TRUE pick your own pumpkin patch. We are relatively new to MN and have been to "patches" where the venue has placed the pumpkins in an open field. I saw the description of Dimler Pumpkin Patch which triggered my memories of pumpkin picking as a child in PA. As soon as we drove up to Dimler, I felt like a child again. Our three year old son had a blast walking through the mud/dirt to find pumpkins still attached to their vines. A huge parcel of land with tons of pumpkins and gourds. We found 5 beautiful pumpkins of varying shapes, colors and sizes. It was not crowded and our experience was exactly as I wished. No fancy building of gimmicks and overpriced anything. Dimler's worked on an honor system with a box placed at the entrance. In this day and age something unheard of which just solidified that some things still do exist for the fun and love of it for relatively little money and without the fanfare and commercial tie-ins. 5 stars for Dimler Pumpkin Patch.
