From Farmer John's Website:
Located just off of Highway 1 in Half Moon Bay, Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm offers a fun, family atmosphere in a relaxing country setting where everyone is welcome!
Come see the diverse varieties of pumpkins we grow, including a specialty of ours, the Atlantic Giant! We grow over 40 Atlantic Giants and have them available for their personal, fundraising or corporate requests. Visit us and enjoy being outdoors on a working farm, enjoying the sights, smells, and pumpkins!
We love Farmer John's! It has the feel of a real down-home farm. Farmer John himself was there the first time we visited, and we chatted with him for quite a stretch. He had some fun stories to share, and my son was fascinated by the whole experience.
This is a much quieter pumpkin farm than, say, Lemos or others on the main stretch into HMB. No frills but certainly lots of nice pumpkins, and you can actually walk out to the field where they're grown. We like that it's close to the water, off the beaten path (kind of), and that it has a makeshift picnic area where you can relax and eat lunch. Friendly and low-key.
And they'll send reminder postcards each year to let you know when the pumpkins are ripe for picking!
