With over 30 activities for kids of all ages, we have consistently been voted the #1 pumpkin patch in the Willamette Valley year-after-year! For 38 years, the farm is transformed into a buzzing activity center in the fall with mazes, obstacle courses, giggle-worthy rides, oodles of farm animals and memories-a-plenty! You get the best bang for the buck with weekend activities and pricing that translate to less than $1 per activity! There is no limit on the number of times you or your kids can enjoy an activity during your visit! We are dog friendly! We have our in-house pressed fresh apple cider, our famous apple cider donuts and lots of other yummy food & drink options to enjoy! And, best of all, parking is plentiful and free!
