The Story Behind Our Pumpkins 🎃
This year marks the sixth consecutive year of pumpkin farming at Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, and believe it or not, it all began with an accident!
Years ago, our elephants and rhinos enjoyed pumpkins as part of their seasonal enrichment. A few months later, we discovered an abundance of pumpkins sprouting from the elephant dung heap! Nature's own fertiliser gave us a surprise!
This unexpected harvest inspired us to start planting pumpkins intentionally, and it’s now a much loved annual tradition.
Today, our pumpkins are planted in June and carefully tended throughout the summer, ready to be picked in September. Freshly harvested pumpkins go on sale in the Farm Shop from September, and visitors can enjoy our spectacular pumpkin displays and seasonal activities during our annual Pumpkinfest.
