3. Cramer’s Western Town and Pumpkin Patch
Cramer’s Western Town & Pumpkin Patch in Lynden has been offering a fall pumpkin experience for the past 13 years, but it’s been ramped up with more offerings recently, says Dan Cramer. This year, expect a hay jump, a petting zoo, pony rides, a corn maze, train rides (barrels, pulled by an antique tractor) and horse-drawn wagon rides to the pumpkin patch. “We have lots of farm animals for the kids to look at,” he says, “ducklings, baby rabbits, a baby donkey, a couple of turkeys, calves, goats and sheep.”
This is the place for picturesque photo ops – the kind made for Facebook posts – with gorgeous views of Mount Baker on clear days. If you’re a pumpkin aficionado you’ll enjoy the 30 different varieties on Cramer’s farm. Food offerings include cotton candy, shaved ice, hot dogs and hamburgers and if you have a preschooler in tow, consider coming Tuesdays through Fridays, when Cramer offers tours tailored to the li’l crowds with instructions on how to grow pumpkins.

4. Triple Wren Farms
Pumpkin Patch Near Knightdale Nc
Located in Ferndale, Triple Wren Farms grows blueberries and flowers in addition to its pumpkin patch. It’s also home to an apiary, so be sure to taste some honey before you drive off. The pumpkins at Triple Wren range from warty to striped, giant to miniature and everything in-between. Some are perfect for carving, others perform better if you want to cook with them. Fridays in October are a great time to visit with kids – that’s when half-hour-long field trips are offered.
Each child goes home with a mini pumpkin after the $5 tour, but there’s plenty of opportunities to purchase larger pumpkins at the farm store. There are U-pick pumpkins and pre-picked pumpkins to choose from.
