Cheerful pumpkin character

Pick your own pumpkins

At the Pumpkin Factory we like to keep things simple and friendly. Everyone is welcome to stroll among the pumpkins, compare shapes and colours, and pick their favourites. Whether you’re here for décor, cooking, or just the autumn vibe, take what you like and enjoy the season with us.

Pay with cash or via Tikkie (a Dutch payment request) — whatever is easiest. Everything you see is grown by us, with care, joy, and real love for the craft. Every pumpkin is unique in shape, colour, and character. And as always with us: when it’s gone, it’s gone.
