Start a New Tradition: Take a Trip to Our Pumpkin Patch near the Quad Cities
When it comes to pumpkins, most families have some sort of tradition. Perhaps yours has an annual carving contest, or maybe you cook the seeds together after scooping them out. Such activities make fall more memorable for everyone, which is why this year you should add a new tradition to your list—visiting a pumpkin patch near the Quad Cities! And what better place to pick pumpkins than at Tanners Orchard?
Not only does our pumpkin patch span 20 acres of land, but it contains thousands of options for you and your family. Furthermore, we carry six different varieties in several shapes and sizes. This means that our pumpkin patch near the quad cities has something for even the most selective pickers. Stop by the farm to find the perfect one today!
We Also Have Apples!
If you visit our orchard and find that you like picking pumpkins more than you initially expected, you can go back for round two in our apple orchard. Both U-Picks are open daily from the first Saturday in September to the last day in October, as long as there is still produce left to pick. Get yours while you still can!
Come for the U-Pick, Stay for the Additional Attractions
It wouldn’t be fair of us to only tell you about our pumpkin patch and apple orchards when we offer so many other incredible fall activities. Some of the things you’ll want to check out are our Farm Market, Bakery and Back 40 Fun Acres—a giant play area featuring equipment and activities for kids of all ages.
Bring Your Dog to Tanners
As you can see, our orchard is a place where anyone can easily spend a whole day, and we want you to! That’s why we let our customers bring their dogs with them. No more worrying about finding someone to let them out or cutting the day off early because they don’t like being alone. As long as they are friendly, leashed, licensed and immunized, you can bring them almost anywhere on the orchard (except inside our Farm Market or near our farm animals). Better yet, a portion of your pet’s admission fee goes to the A.R.K. in Lacon IL. This is a local no-kill animal shelter that helps stray cats and dogs find furever homes. Check out our Dog Policy page to learn more.
