Not for a regular visit: just turn up during opening hours and pay for what you pick. The pumpkin workshops are booked and paid on the farm's website; their dates and session times are in the schedule above.

What's in the workshop?

On Oct 11 (€19): a tractor ride or wheelbarrow trip down to the pumpkin field, one medium pumpkin each, a fruit snack with water, hollowing out and decorating the pumpkin, a visit to the farm animals, and time on the hay maze and slide. Under 3s go free. The Oct 10 session is €18, includes an apple and a bottle of water, and is free for under 1s. Kids always come with an adult.

Can we bring the dog?

Yes, on a leash. The farm has its own small, friendly dog called Douglas.

About

A certified organic family farm in the Jarama valley where kids push a wheelbarrow into the field and pick their own pumpkin. Between rounds there's a hay maze, a slide and hay-bale photo spots, plus a shop terrace where parents can sit. On workshop days a booked session adds a tractor ride, farm animals and hollowing out and decorating a pumpkin. Works well for toddlers and younger school kids.
