Wise Family Farm sets Flower Pickin’ Pumpkin Festival for Oct. 17

Wise Family Farm will hold its 10th annual Flower Pickin’ Pumpkin Festival from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at 291 Shady Grove Road in Pontotoc, according to the farm’s event listing.

The farm advertises zinnia and sunflower picking, pumpkins, vendors and the country store, along with live music. Apple cider slushies and kettle corn are also listed.

Children can have photos taken with Santa for a minimum $5 donation to St. Jude, according to the listing. An on-site photographer will also offer mini photo sessions for Christmas cards.

The farm’s 2026 fall schedule lists gate admission at $14.95 per person, with ages 2 and under admitted free. Pumpkin-patch tickets cost an additional $5. The farm’s FAQ says general admission does not include a pumpkin.

The last tickets are sold one hour before closing, making Saturday’s final ticket-sale time 6 p.m. The farm advises calling 662-538-8990 before visiting during rainy weather because wet conditions may close the property.
