Trader Joe's has wrap-around lines, the crisp morning air, and our weekends are filled with football and friends. We’re incredibly fortunate here in the South Puget Sound to have several amazing pumpkin patches hosted by local and family-owned farms. There are many options for this fun Fall activity! Here are some of our favorite spots:

🎃 Turnbull Farm in Lakebay

Situated in the heart of the Key Peninsula, Turnbull Farm is a charming destination where you can go pick out your own pumpkins and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In addition to their pumpkin patch, the farm is home to farm animals and beautiful gardens. Turnbull Farms also has many seasonal offerings, including workshops (learn how to make a wreath!) and outdoor yoga and Pilates classes. They are open on Saturdays and Sundays throughout October, and you can find more information on their Facebook and Instagram pages.

🎃 Maris Farms in Buckley

Maris Farms in Buckley hosts the incredible Maris Farms Fall Festival all month long in October, and a LOT is going on here from morning ‘til night time! There are all kinds of fun daytime activities like a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, live pig and duck races, train and wagon rides, an animal barn, catch and release trout fishing, ziplines, and more, and then there are the “haunted” offerings to explore. There is a scary, immersive 35-minute haunted experience, and you can learn more about all the different ticket options here.

🎃 Knutson Farms in Sumner

Knutson Farms was started in the 1930s, and what once began as a small rhubarb and flower farming venture has grown into the incredible operation it is today! In addition to growing rhubarb and cut flowers, Knutson Farms hosts several events throughout the year, including “The Patch” in October. In October, you can celebrate the fall season here and pick pumpkins, explore the hay bale or corn maze, play corn hole and tetherball, try out the tricycle course and rubber ducky races, visit the animal barn and flower shop, and more. Plus, there’s food + beverages to enjoy on your trip. Learn more aboutKnutson Farms here, and follow Knutson Farms on Facebook and Instagram.

Spooner Farms is one of the most popular pumpkin patch destinations in the Pierce County area, and here you’ll find so much more than just a pumpkin patch! Spooner Farms has been around since 1882, and it’s very much a family-owned and operated venture—in fact, it’s been in the family for 6 generations!
