Le Rondin was one of the schools that has visited the farm and learnt about what goes on there.
Owners Graham and Linda Dorey showed the pupils and staff around.
As well as seeing the pumpkins and squashes, they were shown the other items it sells plus were able to sit on some tractors.
Mrs Dorey said they have school visits each year.
'We explain about what we do and what we grow,' she said.
This year the pumpkins were grown in three large fields.
'The seeds were sown in May then weeded regularly throughout the summer,' she said.
