Pumpkin Patches in Portland

Plumper Pumpkin Patch & Tree Farm

Family-owned Plumper Pumpkin Patch sits on 65 acres (26 hectares) of undulating Northwest Portland hills with striking views of the Willamette River. After plucking your future jack-o-lanterns from the fields, select a few more to load into the pumpkin cannon, which blasts the gourds up to 400 feet (122 m). Visit from the last week of September through the end of October to get in on the autumnal revelry.

Bella Organic

Northwest of downtown Portland, Sauvie Island’s Bella Organic is packed with fall fun, including free hayrides to a 7-acre (3 hectares) corn maze that’s haunted by ghoulish figures every Friday and Saturday of October. This picturesque patch also offers an organic food market featuring Bella Organic wines and Hopworks brews. Snag a sugary Voodoo Doughnut at the market to complete the Stumptown experience.

The Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkins have been the specialty at Sauvie Island’s Pumpkin Patch for more than four decades. Families can explore the animal barn and take a tour of the farm on the famous cow train before stopping off to buy homemade pickles, jams and other tasty homemade gifts at the farm-fresh market. Hop on the hayride to pick pumpkins straight from the soil any day in September and October.

Kruger’s Farm

Pumpkin season at Kruger’s Farm on Sauvie Island offers up bountiful autumn delights all October long. Patrons stay toasty and sated while foraging for pumpkins with caramel apples, wood-fired pizza and steaming cups of cider. Don’t miss the farm’s fabulous corn maze, which transforms on weekends into a circus-like show with cabaret performers, fire dancers and a live band.

Fazio Farms

Conveniently pre-picked Sauvie Island pumpkins are available from late September through Oct. 31 at Fazio Farms, a 6.5-acre (2.6 hectares) corn maze in Northeast Portland. Kiddos can make their way through Hayland, where bales form an easily navigable labyrinth, before taking a turn on the bouncy slide and trying their luck at the pumpkin ring toss.

Sauvie Island

Families can find an entire day’s worth of adventures on this island just northwest of Portland.

Roloff Farms

Make pumpkin season count at Hillsboro’s Roloff Farms, home to acres of gourds and TLC’s Little People, Big World. A treasure trove of agri-tainment options delight visitors of all ages, including pony rides, giant slingshots, putt-putt golf and a wagon tour. Mosey out to the farmstead every Friday through Sunday in October to get in on the fun while it’s fresh.

Lake View Farms

The perfect pumpkin awaits at Lake View Farms, 30 minutes west of Portland in North Plains, where eager pickers choose from a varied crop that includes ghost and Cinderella pumpkins. Get lost in the 7-mile (11 km) corn maze before hitting up the face painting station and riding the farm’s paddleboat. Visitors are welcome the five weeks leading up to Halloween.

Lee Farms

Four generations currently maintain Tualatin family farm Lee Farms, which proudly offers a dozen pumpkin varieties alongside less conventional fall activities such as pedal-cart racing, a giant slide and a “bounce pillow.” Visitors can meet adorable piglets and bunnies at the petting zoo and snack on fresh pumpkin donuts at the Cowboy Cafe. This fun-fest is open every day starting five weeks before Halloween.
