Hi! That’s at Dupler’s Pumpkin Land in Newark – just past Dawe’s Arboretum. They always have a wide variety of pumpkin/gourd shapes and colors. The one you’re referring to in the photo is dark green. Their pricing is really fair too. https://www.facebook.com/DuplersPumpkinLand/

Thanks for this useful directory. Which pumpkin patch was the first photo taken with a boy and the variety of pumpkins (looks like they even have black pumpkins)? I’m less interested in the activities and more interested in the place with the most unique pumpkin varieties.
