Great Question! Papa gets asked a lot of questions throughout the year, and one of the most common is this: Does anybody live here?

There’s six people that cross three generations who have the privilege of calling Papa’s Pumpkin Patch home. The log building at the heart of Papa’s was built by Tom (the original Papa) and Suzie Pearce. They were from the East Coast and they always had a dream to move “out west” and to build a log home. Bismarck, ND, was as west as they got, and their log home still stands at the center of Papa’s Pumpkin Patch.

The family shares meals in the gazebo each evening after the patch closes, and they do some of their best creative thinking about Papa’s in the home’s great room.
