Welcome to Kurtz Produce! Many of you might know us as the "Kurtz Pumpkin Patch", but we are more than that. Open 3 seasaons of the year, we offer fresh vegetables in the summer, pumpkins & seasonal decor in the fall, and fresh cut & live Christmas trees during the holidays.
***More Information Coming Soon***
The Kurtz Family Farmstead was established in 1872 by John and Barbara Kurtz. The original 112 acres are still owned by our family to this day!
The first pumpkin patch was grown in 1955. With just one acre of pumpkins the sales were going to go to the family's Christmas funds for that year.
In 2006 the farm officially transistions from the 4th generation to the 5th generation for full ownership and management by Ralph and Diana Kurtz.
Christmas Trees were first sold on the farm as part of an FFA project in 2008.
In 2022 the Kurtz family celebrated the 150th anniversary of the farm. Officially recognized at the Indiana state fair, a commerative sign was given for the Hoosier Homested Award.
From July through August our market is stocked with many different fruits and vegetables grown on just over 30 acres. We have a great varity of options to be purchased for your dinner tonight or ordered in bulk for you to can/freeze that special taste of summer to be enjoyed the whole year.
From Mid-September through October our market is stocked with a great selection of pumpkins, squash, and gourds of all colors, shapes, and sizes. We also have ornamental corn, corn shocks, straw bales, and mums to decorate your home for that fall harvest feel.
Starting in October the corn maze & u-pick pumpkin patch are availabe for you to come out and enjoy that cool fall weather. The 3 acre u-pick pumpkin patch gives you plenty of room to roam and find that perfect pumpkin. If you're looking for a fun challenge, the 20 acre corn maze has plenty of twists and turn to keep you guessing which way is the exit. Along the way you might even find one of the scavenger hunt items to win the prize of a free giant pumpkin! For the thrill seekers, the corn maze will be open on select nights for the after dark scare maze where you might run into some...interesting characters.
Every Black Friday, the Christmas tree lot opens for the season with a great selection of pre-cut & live potted firs, spruces, and pine trees. Netting is available for convient transportation and fresh cuts are free to help make your tree last as long as possible!
