  Join us for a fun fall harvest festival! 

MSU Tollgate Farm’s entrance on Meadowbrook Road is open and accessible only from 12 Mile Road. Just follow the signs through some road construction on northbound Meadowbrook and you’ll be directed to parking! 

Come, take a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to pick your perfect pumpkins. Food, music, farm animals, educational exhibits, wagon rides, and children’s activities all make for a fun fall outing on this historic 160 acre farm.   

$5 per person, ages 2 and under free. Wagon rides, music, educational exhibits, children's strawland, story time, and many children's activities are included. Tickets are sold for select activities including fishing, pumpkin painting, inflatable archery, etc. Pumpkins and concessions are sold for cash or credit. Parking is free. 

Every successful event has a team of great people who make it happen. Pumpkinfest has a wonderful team of staff and volunteers who love the Farm and offer their time to help make the event a fun time for all. Adults and youth aged 16 years and older are invited to volunteer for the Pumpkinfest event. Community Service hours for teens are also available.
