Pumpkin planting in Essex May 2025

Welcome to The Green Barn Farm Shop blog! Here, we share stories, tips, and inspiration from our local community and the world of sustainable farming. From behind-the-scenes glimpses of our farm-fresh produce to seasonal recipes, our blog is all about connecting you to the heart of local living.

We are hoping to plant our pumpkins here in Benfleet Essex, very soon! the soil temperature is lovely and warm, we just need a bit of rain and we will be off. 

This is when the magic begins, in late spring when we sow our pumpkin seeds for you to pick in the autumn. Its amazing to think, that by September the fields are over flowing with golden orange. From classic carving pumpkins to unique heirloom varieties we have something to suit everyone. 

Pick your own pumpkins is such a great autumnal day out. Walk through the fields, snap a gorgeous photo and enjoy some warm drinks and delicious food. Pumpkin picking at the Green Barn Farm in Essex will not disappoint.
