It's a Tradition! Tradition continues to define the family even today.
In Oregon, the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island continues to be a family
tradition for over 30 years. The Pumpkin Patch in October is like
a carnival in the country. Come join the parade of people for food
and fun. You, your family, and your friends won't want to miss
the unique opportunities found only at our farm this time of year.
One of our main attractions is our 100 year old red animal
barn. Years ago, this barn served as a dairy barn and it
still stands today in its original state - rustic and antique. The
inside has been converted into stalls to house the farm animals that
folks of all ages love to see. Come catch a glimpse, (not to mention
a whiff,) of the pigs, cows, horses, ducks, bunnies, birds, goats,
sheep, and the active bee hive. If you're lucky, you might even experience
a full-grown llama, a colorful turkey, or a family of wiry pot-bellied
pigs! After a stroll among the animals you'll want to hitch
a free ride, (when you purchase a pumpkin), on a John Deere green
(tractor). Our hayrides offer Daily rides to the U-pick
pumpkin fields, beginning at noon, where you are sure to
find that perfect pumpkin. We've got all sizes at the Pumpkin Patch,
from 300 pound "moon" pumpkins to baseball-size "mini-pumpkins". We
even grow white "spooky" pumpkins! After choosing the perfect jack-o-lantern, be sure to
challenge your problem-solving skills with our hay maze.
It is a walk-through maze.The hay maze, along with our Giant free
hay pyramid, is constructed using 2000 pound hay bales, both having
twists and turns and secret passages! Along with the other activities, a wander through the
Pumpkin Cottage, a delightful farm-style
gift shop, is always a must. We feature items for all sizes and all
budgets, with a plethora of farm and Pumpkin Patch memorabilia, unique
home decor, and gifts for anyone on your buying list. The Pumpkin
Cottage is constantly changing and adding new themes as well as incorporating
unique holiday items. Be sure to stop in each time that you visit
to see what's new. As you, your family & friends enjoy the festival
here with the Pumpkin Patch crew, we're sure you won't want to miss
the aroma of freshly grilled foods. Should your tummy tempt you, please
stop in at our Pumpkin Patch Patio Café
for scrumptious hamburgers, hotdogs, gardenburgers™, grilled
chicken fajitas, freshly made hot elephant ears, and freshly poured
carmel apples made with apples from Hood River, and fresh-from-the-field
corn-on-the-cob that no one can resist! Come hungry. Leave full. Our
food is truly delicious! Last, but not least, you "gotta get while the gettin's
good" and take home the best of our seasonal produce from our produce
market. You won't find fresher fruits and vegetables anywhere
- and at such "farm-low" prices. Besides, the variety by October is
amazing! We grow and specialize in over 40 different crops here on
the farm, and some of our October harvest favorites include a wide
assortment of squashes. This is truly the time of year to stock up
for freezing, canning, and just good eating. Enjoy our newest attractions during the October festival including the Cow Train and Corn Cannon! The Cow Train is for kids and adults interested in taking a tour of the farm via a fun ride over the fields, down dusty roads, and through a maze of farm activities! The Corn Cannon is available to guests on weekends who want to try their luck hitting targets with corn shot from a cannon. If you're one of the lucky ones, you just might win a prize! So much to do in October at The Original Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island!" We hope that your visit to our farm is memorable. Keep
the traditions going within your family - and visit us this October.
Remember to dress for the weather and bring your "mud" boots, as the
pumpkins rest on ground in their natural habitat. See you soon!
