About Noland's Dusty Boots, a Veteran-Owned Pumpkin Patch in Mid-Missouri
A veteran family’s love for fall, community, and making memories in Edwards, Missouri.
Two Veterans, Two Missouri Hearts, One Love of Fall
Noland’s Dusty Boots Pumpkin Patch was founded by Chris and Mary Noland — two veterans who came home to Missouri with a shared love of the harvest season.
Chris grew up in Climax Springs, surrounded by the kind of country living that sticks with you: hard work, family traditions, and neighbors who actually know each other’s names. After years of military service — including deployments to Iraq — he came back with a clear purpose: build something lasting, right here at home, that families in central Missouri could look forward to every fall.
Mary served 20 years in the military before hanging up her uniform, and she brought every bit of that discipline and heart to Dusty Boots. She’s always loved fall — the pumpkins, the cool evenings, the way harvest season pulls people together. Her vision for a warm, welcoming patch where families feel at home is woven into everything you’ll find here on Cable Ridge Road.
Together, they built Noland’s Dusty Boots to be more than a place to buy a pumpkin. It’s where neighbors gather, kids run through the rows, and fall in the Lake of the Ozarks area gets a little more memorable. Come out, pick your pumpkin, and leave with a little dirt on your boots and a smile on your face.
Proudly owned and operated by a U.S. military veteran and his family from Edwards, Missouri.
Come pick a pumpkin and make fall memories together — without the big price tags or crowded attractions.
Enjoy the stunning countryside of central Missouri during the heart of fall harvest season.
