Bring your friends and family to celebrate the arrival of fall at Island Farm.

Every Saturday in October, Island Farm will hold its 13th annual Pumpkin Patch event, taking place on October 5, 12, 19 and 26 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission for visitors four and older is $10. Children 0-3 years old are admitted for free.

“This year’s Pumpkin Patch will feature plenty of pumpkins – grown locally in Chowan County by a descendant of Island Farm. During the event, visitors will enjoy historic games, doll crafting, candle making, samples of apple cider and popcorn, giveaways from the Manteo Blacksmith, and a new lineup of fall activities including a nail-driving contest, jumbo bubbles, a fresh maze design and more! All activities are included with the cost of admission,” stated an Island Farm news release. “This year the Farm will also host a maker’s market which will feature a variety of local art, crafts, and food for purchase.”

This event is funded in part by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau and Southern Bank.

Island Farm is a living history site located on the north-end of Roanoke Island; it offers a trip back in time to the 1850s along the Outer Banks through hands-on activities, historic building tours, demonstrations, working livestock and more. Open Tuesday through Friday, the living history site offers live interpretation, daily mini-programs and special weekend events. The farmstead is located at 1140 N US Highway 64, north of Manteo, on Roanoke Island.
