    Tips from past year's visitors: Pick your own pumpkins from their HUGE pumpkin patch. Bring a wagon if you have one because carrying the pumpkins from the patch to your car can be heavy! Students from the College of Agriculture plant and care for the crop until it's ready for harvest in October. Most pumpkins are priced at $5 each (these are 2012 prices - they may have changed), and visitors often bring gloves, shears and perhaps a wagon for their chance to pick a great pumpkin.
