Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. In the farm's own words: "Western-themed pick-your-own pumpkin patch featuring a corn maze, wagon rides, pig races, and other activities." P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC is one of the farms we track with a corn maze, which typically means a corn maze is cut into a standing field in late summer and stays open until the stalks are harvested, which is why most mazes open a week or two after the pumpkin patch itself and close hard at the end of the season. si…
Hours aren't listed for P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC in our data. Most pumpkin patches run daily or weekends-only from mid-September through the first days of November, but the surest way to know is to call ahead or check the farm's website before you drive out. Admission pricing isn't listed for P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. Payment methods aren't listed, and a meaningful share of family-run patches are cash-only for field admission and wagon rides even when the farm store takes cards — bringing some cash as backup avoids an awkward trip back to the car at the gate.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC sits, near Moundridge, KS, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkin in Kansas?
Based on rating and review volume, P and M Pumpkin Ranch, LLC ranks first among the u-pick pumpkin patches we track in Kansas, with a 4.8-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its <a href="/kansas/moundridge/p-and-m-pumpkin-ranch-llc/">full listing</a> for hours and directions.
What does "u-pick" actually mean at a pumpkin patch?
True u-pick means walking into a growing field and cutting a pumpkin off the vine yourself, rather than choosing from a pile of pumpkins trucked in and arranged near the barn. Both are common — if cutting from the vine matters to you, call ahead and ask whether the field is still open, especially late in the season.
When is u-pick season in Kansas?
Most u-pick fields open alongside the rest of the pumpkin season, roughly mid-to-late September through the first days of November, and smaller growers can pick out and switch to a pre-picked pile before the season officially ends. Check the listings above or call ahead to confirm the field is still open.
What should I bring to pick my own pumpkin?
Gloves and, ideally, your own shears — pumpkin vines are prickly, and a cleanly cut stem two to four inches long keeps a pumpkin fresh far longer than one twisted off by hand. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy, since fields are working farmland, not paved lots.
Are these u-pick patches good for young kids?
It depends on the farm and how far the field is from parking. Check the individual listing pages above for feature tags like a petting zoo or kids' play area, and call ahead if you're planning around young children or strollers.
