Variety pumpkins rise out of Solvang Farmer Pumpkin Patch

SOLVANG, Calif. - Visitors of all ages are coming to the Solvang Farmer Pumpkin Patch.

"I’m excited because I can’t wait to carve the pumpkin and the maze is really fun," said visitor Thorin Rasmussen.

Andrea Huckabee and her 1-year-old baby couldn't get enough to see. 

"I think this is his first pumpkin patch ... yes he’s loving it ... look at him he just wants to crawl all over the place," said Huckabee.

Pumpkin grower Steve Jacobsen says the extreme heat affected this year’s yield.

"Our second planning … it hit it at the wrong time so our yields were way down on the second planning … but we still have enough to carry us through," said Jacobsen.

"We’re coming from Dallas Texas … We brought our pumpkin to see the pumpkin and it is quite a field … never seen anything quite like this this is really cool," said visitors Tom and Mary Ann Rae from Dallas, Texas.

Visitors are not only attracted to the pumpkins, they’re also excited to see all the antique farm equipment.

"I like the big turban squash and the carving jack-o’-lanterns and the little pumpkins," said visitor Sarah Rasmussen.

But if you’re planning to visit the corn maze, beware. You could be in it for a while.

"Oh yeah. I was there … for a while," said Thorin.

The Solvang Farmer Pumpkin Patch is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.
