Every fall, Conners A-maize-ing Pumpkin Patch opens its gates to families, friends, and visitors from all over Florida, offering a festive slice of autumn in a state where pumpkins aren’t exactly easy to grow.
Because Florida’s warm, humid climate makes pumpkin farming a challenge, many of the pumpkins featured at Conners’ patch are sourced from farms across the country—ensuring guests always have plenty of picture-perfect choices for carving, decorating, and celebrating the season. Despite the hurdles, the Conner family has turned their pumpkin patch into a beloved community tradition; one passed through generations with pride and purpose.
What makes Conners A-maize-ing Pumpkin Patch truly special is its heart for giving.

For the Conner family, this isn’t just about pumpkins; it’s about making a positive impact and continuing a family’s legacy that blends fun, faith, and philanthropy.
While the autumn pumpkin patch draws big crowds, the fun doesn’t end when fall does. Each spring, Conners offers a vibrant sunflower field where visitors can stroll through rows of towering blooms and pick fresh flowers by the handful. The sunflower season arrives just in time for Mother’s Day and other spring celebrations, making it a favorite spot for photos, picnics, and memory-making.
Though kids adore the pumpkin patch for its playful charm, Conners’ A-maize-ing Pumpkin Patch offers activities for every age. Adults are just as enthusiastic as the little ones—especially when it comes to the hayrides that wind through the property and the spooky maze that adds a thrill to the fall festivities. Each season, the patch transforms into a place where families can bond, friends can gather, and traditions are born.
No visit would be complete without sampling the local food vendors or taking time to meet the farm animals. Visitors especially love the farm’s Highlander cows, including the fan-favorite, Little Red, whose gentle personality and shaggy coat make him one of the patch’s biggest attractions.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect pumpkin, roaming a sea of sunflowers, or enjoying a day of wholesome fun, Conners A-maize-ing Pumpkin Patch remains a cherished destination—one that continues to grow, give, and welcome new generations year after year.
