Great Valley, NY – Pumpkinville, voted Buffalo’s Best Pumpkin Patch by the people of Western New York, is welcoming guests this season with two exciting new attractions.
Jack & Jennie Junction is an interactive donkey exhibit where visitors can pet, feed, and learn about the farm’s beloved donkeys—including a foal born this past July. Nearby, the Rat Maze offers kids a fun and twisty challenge as they climb, crawl, and wind their way through a creative new course.

For adults, the Pumpkinville Beer Garden features local brews from Ellicottville Brewing Co.,
wines from Winery of Ellicottville, and two large-screen TVs to enjoy the game.
