Fall Focus: Timberview Farmstead Pumpkin Patch

by Amanda Ryan

Hey friends — it’s Sarah from the team, and if you’re planning something fun this fall with the family (especially with younger kids in tow), let’s talk about one local gem you’ll want to bookmark: Timberview Farmstead.

The story behind the farm

Timberview Farmstead sits at 4274 Timberview Dr., Fort Worth, TX 76140.

Here’s the interesting bit: the land was formerly a golf course. In 2014, the vision was born to transform that land into a working farm & education center to serve kids and families in Tarrant County. They now focus on:

Farm-based learning (“Learn. Grow. Belong.”)
Creating community, food access, meaningful work, and events.
A growing campus that includes barns, a greenhouse, and outdoor spaces.

So when you bring your kids here for a pumpkin patch outing, you’re not just attending a photo-op. You’re stepping into a place with purpose. That background matters for your “On The Move DFW” audience — it’s local, meaningful, not just cookie-cutter.

What to expect at the Pumpkin Patch

Here’s the rundown of what happens, what it costs, and what you get:

General admission (past posts show) – $12 for adults, $8 for kids (and seniors) — kids 3 & under free.
Each family/group receives one free carving pumpkin with admission.
Ticket includes: open barns, petting tables, hayrides, and pumpkin search/picking.
Hours: Currently listed as Saturdays 10 a.m.–3 p.m. (Closed first Saturday of the month) for public visits. Tuesday–Friday are “Members Only."
Fun extras: petting animals, climbing hay, hidden pumpkins, and photo spots.
Tip: This isn’t just about the patch—there’s the whole working-farm feel.

Why it’s a smart outing for your family

Local – Fort Worth area, easy for DFW families.
Active – The kids can burn energy, explore, wild around.
Photo-friendly – You’ll get great visuals (which is a bonus for you, Sarah, since your newsletter uses strong visuals).
Meaningful – The farm’s mission adds credibility and local loyalty.
Flexible – You don’t have to commit to a huge “event”; you can show up, pick pumpkins, get the exposure to farm life.

Pro Tips for Going

Arrive early – 10 a.m. start is good, avoids rush, better pumpkin/smaller crowds.
Dress for farm conditions – It might be muddy, dusty; boots or closed shoes recommended.
Wagon/stroller – With kids + pumpkins + photos, it helps.
Camera/phone ready – The lighting is good, the props (hay, barns, pumpkins) are great for newsletter-worthy social posts.
Check their event schedule – They may have special themed weekends, so check the website/Instagram for the latest.
Budget for extras – While admission covers a lot, you may want to buy drinks/snacks/farm store items.
Plan for parking – On-site likely fine, but check the location ahead.

This isn’t just another pumpkin patch — it’s a local experience with purpose, which fits your brand and community mindset. Your boys will get to roam, you’ll get to lean back a little, and clients will see you’re plugged into the best of local living in DFW.
