Using a technique that’s similar to ice-sculpting, watch our artists sculpt farm fresh pumpkins into forms with funny, silly and scary faces. Each day there will be new designs created on the spot! Stop by to see and purchase the latest designs.

Have a pumpkin carved with something special, just for you!
Advance order required.
Don't struggle with a knife and a messy pumpkin. Let a pumpkin artists carve it for you! Choose from 12+ designs (including Batman, Elmo, Frankenstein and others), or request a custom-carved portrait of a pet or person. Each pumpkin is carved by hand and takes hours to do, so it’s best if you *order in advance* and we can have it ready for you to pick up at the festival.
Get everything you need for a backyard Halloween Party and put your own Pumpkin “Art” Show at home!
For a true Halloween spectacular at home (that also makes for easy social distancing!), scatter several custom-carved pumpkins around lawn, and cluster a few of the 3D sculpted pumpkins on a table. Decorate with ears of maize corn and fall flowers (also available at Cortlandt Farm), and invite friends and neighbors to come BYOC. (Bring Your Own Candy). Discounts on 5+ pumpkins available.
