Best Pumpkin Patches in Oregon for 2026: Dates, Prices & Map

by | Sep 7, 2026 | Events, Family Fun, Halloween, Things To Do, Willamette Valley

The first cool morning that makes you dig out a flannel is basically Oregon’s official invitation to fall. After that, the to-do list writes itself: a cider donut still warm enough to fog the bag, a hayride that smells like cut grass, a corn maze that takes longer than anyone claimed, and a pumpkin that looks like it was waiting just for you. This 2026 statewide guide uses verified farm dates, ticket clues, and dog policies from official sites so you can sketch a farm crawl without guessing.

Oregon fall is not one mood. Valley fog can sit on the pumpkin rows until lunch. Sauvie Island can feel windy and bright while Portland is still gray. Central Oregon can be jacket weather under a big blue sky, and the coast can serve drizzle with your cider. Pack a rain layer, wear shoes you do not love, and treat mud as part of the souvenir.

Fall is already moving. The America 250 MAiZE on Sauvie Island opened September 5. Yesteryear Farms in Wilsonville opens September 10 with free farm and patch entry. Frog Pond Farm follows on September 18, and September 19 lights up a big metro and valley cluster that includes Bauman’s, Lee Farms, Plumper Farms, and Red Berry Barn. Later openers stretch the map: Mahaffy and Echo on September 25, Smith Rock Ranch on September 26, Fort Vannoy on October 1, and French Prairie Gardens on October 3. Confirm hours on each farm’s site before you go, and leave room in the day for one more donut.

How to Choose Your Patch (and Your Pace)

If you are wrangling toddlers, chase shorter lines, animals, and a farm that will not melt down if nap time arrives early. Yesteryear’s free farm and patch entry is the easy budget win. Frog Pond brings llamas into the mix, which is either charming or chaotic depending on your kid’s mood. Plumper keeps the classic Portland stack of maze energy, animals, and pumpkin donuts without requiring a long road trip. Weekday mornings are your friend at the big festival farms.

If you want a scare, pick a haunt night on purpose. Bella Organic runs haunted Friday and Saturday evenings starting September 26, with no haunt on Halloween and a last scare on October 30. Fort Vannoy’s 23 Screams returns across October in Grants Pass. Echo’s Field of Screams lights up October 18, 25, and 31. Teens who want a maze workout without a haunt can head to Sauvie Island for the MAiZE, or save Yesteryear’s 10-acre maze for a Friday or Saturday night.

Dog owners should read the fine print twice. Bauman’s homepage calls the festival dog friendly, and Yesteryear welcomes well-behaved leashed dogs on the property and in the daytime maze. Plumper allows leashed, well-behaved dogs if you keep them close and clean up. Frog Pond allows leashed dogs on the farm, but not in the pumpkin patch, and Bella allows them in the regular maze only. Lee Farms, Red Berry Barn, French Prairie, Packer, the MAiZE, and Smith Rock’s Maize are no-go zones for pets (service animals excepted where the farm says so).

Best Pumpkin Patches Near Portland: Quick Answer

For the best all-around Portland-area fall festival, start with Lee Farms in Tualatin. It combines U-pick pumpkins, a corn maze, hayrides, animals and a substantial farm market. Plumper Farms is the strongest choice inside Portland city limits; Yesteryear Farms is the easiest budget visit because farm and patch entry are free; and Bella Organic plus The MAiZE make Sauvie Island the best two-stop pumpkin day.

  • Best overall near Portland: Lee Farms
  • Best inside Portland: Plumper Farms
  • Best low-cost visit: Yesteryear Farms
  • Best island day trip: Bella Organic + The MAiZE on Sauvie Island
  • Dog-friendly choices: Plumper, Liepold and daytime visits at Yesteryear; always recheck the farm's current rules

Portland Metro and Nearby Classics

Starting from Portland? Our dedicated 2026 Portland pumpkin patch guide compares 16 nearby farms by driving cluster, price, U-pick status, dog policy and the kind of visit each one does best.

This is the densest patch of fall farms in the state, and it pairs well with a broader Portland travel guide if you are stacking neighborhoods, food, and day trips around the same weekend. Parking lots fill, donut lines snake, and a sunny Saturday in late September can feel like the whole metro had the same idea. Go early, buy tickets when the farm asks you to, and keep a backup farm in your pocket if the first lot looks hopeless.

Plumper Farms - Portland

Plumper is the close-in Portland classic for families who want the whole fall stack without leaving the metro. Expect maze energy, animals, cannons, and those famous pumpkin donuts that somehow taste better when you are already dusty. It is an easy toddler day because you never have to leave town.

The Fall Festival runs September 19 through November 1, 2026, Wednesday through Sunday from 9am to 5:30pm. Online admission is listed at $17 for ages 2 and up, with $19 at the gate, and a season pass special of $27 during presale (regular $33). Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome if you keep them close and clean up after them. Tickets: plumperfarms.ticketspice.com/2026-plumper-fall-festival. Farm info: plumperfarms.com.

Lee Farms - Tualatin

Pumpkins stacked in front of a red country store at Lee Farms in Tualatin.
Lee Farms in Tualatin is the metro bakery-and-hayride stop, with the 2026 Fall Festival running September 19 through October 31.

Lee Farms is the Tualatin tradition that locals treat like a seasonal food group. Hayrides, a corn maze, slides, and animals fill the day, and the bakery donuts are the reason plenty of people start arguing about just one more stop on the way home. Pets stay home (ADA service dogs only).

The 2026 Fall Festival runs September 19 through October 31. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 9am to 5pm, with Halloween closing at 4pm. TicketSpice lists weekday and weekend general admission and activity wristbands, with fees shown separately online, so buy ahead rather than guessing at the gate. Start with the 2026 TicketSpice page or leefarmsoregon.com/pumpkin-patch.

Red Berry Barn - Sherwood

Red Berry Barn is the Sherwood stop for people who came for the baked goods and then accidentally stayed for the maze. The Harvest Festival smell hits before you even park, and the bakery is half the reason people make the Sherwood drive. Leave pets at home and bring an appetite.

Fresh apple cider donuts at Red Berry Barn in Sherwood, Oregon.
Red Berry Barn in Sherwood is one of the 2026 donut-stop farms, with Harvest Festival dates September 19 through October 31.

The festival is open September 19 through October 31, 2026, with activities generally 9am to 6pm and Halloween hours 9am to 4pm. Thursday through Sunday unlimited activities are $25 ($20 seniors 65+). Monday through Wednesday noon to 6pm runs $20 ($15 seniors), and a morning special Monday through Wednesday 9am to noon is $15 for all ages. Details: redberrybarn.com/harvest-festival.

Liepold Farms - Boring

Liepold is the Boring-area family-farm option for a classic patch day without the scale of the biggest metro festivals. The farm has operated since 1952, and its fall program centers on pumpkins and gourds, a corn maze, hayrides, caramel apples, and other seasonal farm food. The official site remains current in 2026 and continues to describe its annual fall festival, but complete 2026 fall dates were not posted when we checked on September 15. Confirm the festival calendar before making the drive.

The festival grounds are at 14050 SE Richey Road in Boring. The farm’s current FAQ says leashed, friendly dogs are allowed and severe weather can affect availability. Check the official Fall Festival page and farm FAQ, or call 503-663-5880 before you go.

Frog Pond Farm - Wilsonville

Llamas and fall farm fun at Frog Pond Farm in Wilsonville, Oregon.
Frog Pond Farm in Wilsonville opens September 18. Llamas share the spotlight, and tickets are sold in person only.

Frog Pond is the Wilsonville farm that feels a little smaller and a little stranger in the best way. Llamas share the spotlight here, and that is the whole personality: animals, pumpkins, and a pace that works when you do not want a mega-festival. Tickets are sold in person only, so you cannot TicketSpice your way out of a line. Leashed dogs are welcome on the farm but not in the pumpkin patch.

The patch opens September 18 and runs through November 1 with weekday hours 9am to 5pm and weekend hours 9am to 6pm. General admission is $16 for ages 2 and up, with an All-In Wristband at $25. The farm lists that All-In option without clearly labeling it weekend only, so treat it as a build-your-day wristband until the farm says otherwise. Info: thefrogpondfarm.com/pumpkin-patch.

Yesteryear Farms - Wilsonville

Pumpkins, hay, a scarecrow, and string lights at Yesteryear Farms in Wilsonville.
Yesteryear Farms in Wilsonville opens September 10 with free farm and pumpkin-patch entry. The 10-acre maze is ticketed.

Yesteryear is the value play and the photo play at the same time. Entry to the farm and pumpkin patch is free, which is rare in a season of wristbands, and the ticketed 10-acre corn maze gives you a reason to linger. Bring the dog for daytime only, and keep the leash short.

Yesteryear opens September 10, 2026, and stays through October 31. Daytime maze pricing starts at $12 for adults 12+ and $8 for kids 3-11 on a single ticket, with Dual Adventure pricing also posted. Friday and Saturday night mazes cost more (adults $15 single or $22 dual; kids $12 or $18 dual). Hours run Thursday and Sunday 9:30am to 7pm and Friday and Saturday 9:30am to 10pm. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome on the property and in the daytime maze. Start here: yesteryearfarmswilsonville.com.

Sauvie Island Double Feature

Sauvie Island is where Portlanders go when they want the farm day to feel like a mini trip. The bridge traffic is real on weekends, the light is different, and you can stack two maze stops without leaving the island. If you are already thinking coastward after the pumpkins, keep our Oregon Coast guide handy for the next day. Pack boots if rain is in the forecast. Corn mazes hold water, and island mud does not care about your cute sneakers.

Bella Organic - Sauvie Island

Mounds of pumpkins in front of a country store at Bella Organic on Sauvie Island.
Bella Organic’s 2026 maze theme is “5 Kind Acts.” The regular maze is already open. The pumpkin patch starts September 21.

Bella is the island farm that can do wholesome by day and haunt by night. The 2026 corn maze theme is “5 Kind Acts,” the regular maze is already open, and the pumpkin patch joins on September 21. Free hayrides run September 26 through October 31, which is a practical gift if you have little legs and a long field. Leashed dogs are allowed in the regular maze only.

The regular maze is open daily from August 22 through October 31. Daytime maze tickets are $10 Monday through Thursday and $12 Friday through Sunday, with ages 5 and under free. Haunted nights begin September 26 on Friday and Saturday evenings, with prices ranging $35 to $45 by date. There is no haunted maze on Halloween. The last haunt is October 30, and October 31 closes at 3pm. Full details: bellaorganic.com/pumpkin-patch.

The MAiZE at The Pumpkin Patch - Sauvie Island

Portland’s original MAiZE is already open, and that is the urgency if you want a maze before the October crush. This year’s theme is America 250. General admission is $10, kids under 5 are free, and pets are not allowed. It is the maze-first stop on the island, sitting next to The Pumpkin Patch’s fields and farm scene.

Portland’s original MAiZE is celebrating America 250 this season. Tickets run September 5 through October 31, 2026, and general admission is $10.

Tickets are sold for dates from September 5 through October 31, 2026. September hours are daily 9am to 5pm with last ticket at 4:30pm. October hours are daily 10am to 6pm with last ticket at 5:30pm.

Willamette Valley Heavy Hitters

The Willamette Valley stretch is farm-festival country with room for a slower weekend. For wine towns, river cities, and valley bases beyond the patches, start with our Willamette Valley guide.

Fir Point Farms - Aurora

Fir Point is the Aurora stop for families who want a farm day with a deli-and-bakery fallback when the weather turns. Its official 2026 Harvest Festival schedule runs September 26 through October 30, Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm. The farm’s festival pages show pumpkins and family activities, but do not clearly publish a complete current activity-price sheet, so check before budgeting the day.

Fir Point Farms is at 14601 Arndt Road in Aurora. Confirm current attractions and any ticket details at the official Harvest Festival page or call 503-678-2455.

Bauman’s Harvest Festival - Gervais

Families and fall festival crowds at Bauman’s Farm in Gervais, Oregon.
Bauman’s Harvest Festival in Gervais runs September 19 through October 31, 2026, closed Mondays, with cider donuts and a long list of play zones.

Bauman’s is the Willamette Valley heavyweight: cider donuts, pressed cider, a long list of play zones, and a festival that can swallow a whole day. Weekday tickets cover 15 activities. Weekend tickets open the full activity list. Kids 2 and under are free with a paying adult, and the homepage calls the festival dog friendly, which is uncommon at this scale.

The festival runs September 19 through October 31, 2026, closed Mondays, 9am to 5pm, with admission and ticket sales closing at 4pm. Weekday tickets (Tuesday through Friday) are $20 for ages 3-25 and $15 for ages 26-99. Weekend tickets are $30 and $20 for all activities. Friday, October 9, uses weekend pricing. Opening weekend, September 19 and 20, is posted as Family Rewards Weekend at $25 and $15 for all activities. Pricing and tickets: baumanshf.com/pricing and baumanshf.com/tickets.

French Prairie Gardens - St. Paul

French Prairie is the St. Paul farm with pig-race energy on the weekends and a mega-slide personality to match. It opens later than the metro cluster, which makes it a good October plan after you have already burned through a closer farm. Pets are not allowed. Use the 2026 TicketSpice page for prices and dates, because the main marketing page still looked stale at verification time.

Tickets cover October 3 through October 31, closed Mondays, with hours 10am to 5pm (Halloween closes at 4pm). Online general farm entry for Tuesday through Friday is $14.99. The all-inclusive activities wristband for Saturdays, Sundays, and Friday, October 9, is $24.99. Buy here: frenchprairiegardens.ticketspice.com/pumpkin-patch-2026. Farm page: fpgardens.com/pumpkin-patch.

Heiser Farms - Dayton

Heiser Farms is the Dayton and Yamhill Valley pick for families who want a pumpkin patch with a true signature spectacle. John and Kristi Heiser opened the patch in 1994, and today three pumpkin cannons fire every hour from 11am to 4pm on regular Saturdays and Sundays. On October 17 and 18, the 2026 Pumpkin Cannon Demolition Derby replaces the regular firing schedule as all three cannons repeatedly target cars. The farm’s public calendar also lists live music on October weekends and a firefighter waterball competition on October 4.

The 2026 patch is open Saturdays and Sundays from September 26 through October 31, 10am to 5pm. Fridays in October run 10am to 6pm with limited attractions and ticket-only activities rather than wristbands. As verified September 15, weekend admission is $9 per person (ages 2 and younger free), while the $20 unlimited-attraction wristband covers the hay maze, corn maze, fire engine rides, Grand Island Railroad, and barrel train but does not include admission. Firing a cannon costs $10, donated to breast cancer support. Hay rides, the petting zoo, pedal tractors, duck races, hay pyramid and slide, Farmerville, and cannon viewing are free. Pumpkins are 50 cents per pound up to 100 pounds, and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome. Heiser Farms is at 21425 Grand Island Loop in Dayton. Check the official 2026 calendar and current pricing and policies, or call 503-868-7512 before a long drive.

Bose Family Farm - Albany

Albany families keep Bose on the short list for maze days and country afternoons. As of September 7, 2026, the farm’s website was still wrapping the 2025 season and asking guests to check back for next fall. Treat 2026 hours and maze pricing as unconfirmed until the farm posts them. Do not drive south on a rumor. Watch bosefamilyfarm.com before you lock the day.

Johnson Vegetable Farms - Eugene

Johnson Farms is the Eugene-area pick for families who want more than a walk through a pumpkin field. The current farm site bundles a Pumpkin Toss Hayride with a pumpkin slingshot, Wild Wagon Ride, sunflower field, and daytime corn maze. Its after-dark “Nightfall in the Corn” is a separate scare-focused option.

The farm is at 89733 Armitage Road in Eugene. Exact 2026 fall dates and hours were not posted when we checked September 15; the farm says hours vary seasonally, so call 541-343-9594 before driving and review the official Johnson Farms site.

Central Oregon Backdrop

Smith Rock Ranch - Terrebonne

A wide green corn maze spread out in front of the jagged cliffs near Smith Rock Ranch in Terrebonne.
Smith Rock Ranch opens September 26, 2026, with a “250 Years of Freedom” maize and that Central Oregon skyline behind the pumpkins.

Smith Rock Ranch is the Central Oregon postcard: pumpkins and a big maize under that famous rock-and-Cascades skyline. The 2026 maize theme is “250 Years of Freedom,” and the ranch opens September 26. This is the views pick, and it is also the weekend trip if you want to hike Smith Rock State Park in the morning and pick pumpkins later. For the wider high-desert plan, use our Central Oregon guide.

No dogs are allowed in the Maize. Exact 2026 dollar pricing was not clearly posted on the hours and pricing page at verification time, so confirm tickets and activity costs before you go. The ranch closes at 4pm on Halloween. Wear real shoes, because high-desert paths are not the same as a valley grass lot. Start at smithrockranch.com. Related read: Smith Rock Ranch’s maze with a view.

Wagon rides are part of the Smith Rock Ranch fall mix. Confirm 2026 activity prices on the ranch site before you go.

Hood River Orchard Fall

Packer Orchards - Hood River

Packer’s Fall Festival is orchard country with a pumpkin overlay: a corn maze, activity-field games, and Pear-Fect Kitchen treats at The Farm Place. It sits naturally in a Mt. Hood and Columbia Gorge weekend if you want waterfalls or orchard towns around the same trip. Pets are not allowed (service animals okay). Halloween Day is closed at The Farm Place, so do not build October 31 around this stop.

Timed admission samples around $13.95 for a single day and about $34.95 for VIP on listed ticket products. The live ticket calendar is the authority for your weekend, so check it before you lock plans. Fall page: packerorchards.com/pages/seasons-fall.

Southern Oregon Scares and Daytime Fun

Fort Vannoy Farms - Grants Pass

Fort Vannoy is the Rogue Valley two-for-one: a daytime festival with an 8-acre corn maze, and 23 Screams after dark. Daytime is the family play. Nighttime is the teen play. Pair it with our Southern Oregon guide if Grants Pass is part of a longer Rogue Valley swing. The maze is $8 per person, and pumpkins are $0.60 per pound.

The daytime Fall Festival runs October 1 through 31. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday 9am to 4pm and Friday through Sunday 10am to 6pm, closed Mondays. 23 Screams returns for 2026 on October 3, 9, and 10 (8pm to 11pm); October 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, and 31 (7:30pm to 11pm); and October 18 and 25 (7:30pm to 10pm). Daytime info: fortvannoyfarms.com/cornmazeandpumpkinpatch. Haunt schedule: fortvannoyfarms.com/hauntedcornmaze.

Pheasant Fields Farm - Medford

Pheasant Fields gives Southern Oregon families a second Rogue Valley option, with a pumpkin patch, 4-acre corn maze, hay rides, train rides, animal exhibits, paintball shooting, and weekend live music. The 2026 Harvest Festival opens September 26 and runs Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 5pm through October.

Online activity wristbands are $16.50 plus the listed processing fee ($18 at the gate). Festival-access-only admission is $6.50 online or $8 at the gate; pumpkins are sold separately by weight, and children 2 and under enter free. The farm is at 1865 Camp Baker Road in Medford. Verify tickets and the separate Fright After Dark dates at the official ticket page.

Coast Country

Mahaffy Ranch - Coos Bay

Mahaffy Ranch in Coos Bay runs September 25 through October 31, 2026, with a Cider Barn, hay wagon rides, and barnyard animals. Admission dollars were not posted on the official page at verification.

Mahaffy is the coastal ranch day: hay wagon rides, mazes, slides, a corn cannon, barnyard animals, and a Cider Barn built for donuts and warm drinks. If you are already on the southern coast, this is the patch. Treat it as a weekend destination if you are driving from the valley, and use our Oregon Coast map and guide to stitch beaches and towns around the farm stop.

Admission pricing was not listed on the official pumpkin patch page at verification, and daily hours were not clearly posted there either. Call or check the farm before you budget the day. The 2026 Fall Festival runs September 25 through October 31. Start at mahaffyranch.com/pumpkinpatch.

Eastern Oregon Stretch

Echo Corn Maze - Echo

Echo is a long drive for valley folks and a short tradition for Umatilla County families. General admission is $10 for ages 3 and up. Field of Screams nights are the reason to stay after dark. Friday hours start at 2pm, so this is an afternoon-into-evening plan, not a dawn-patrol farm.

Echo runs Friday, September 25, through Sunday, November 8, 2026. Hours are Friday 2pm to 10pm, Saturday 11am to 10pm, and Sunday 11am to 6pm. Field of Screams nights are October 18, 25, and 31 from 7pm to 9pm for $15. Details: echocornmaze.com.

How to Build Your 2026 Farm Crawl

If you only have one metro Saturday, keep it tight. Lee or Red Berry for bakery energy. Frog Pond or Yesteryear for a softer pace. Sauvie Island if you want maze drama and island light. A Wilsonville double is easy: Yesteryear for free patch photos, then Frog Pond for llamas, or the reverse if you want animals first and a cheaper pumpkin stop second.

Pumpkins loaded into the roof rack of a car after a day at an Oregon pumpkin patch.
Leave room in the trunk (or on the roof) for the pumpkin that somehow became three.

Heading farther, thread Gervais and St. Paul on a Willamette Valley loop, but do not force both on the same morning. Bauman’s can fill a day by itself. Save French Prairie for an October weekend when pig-race energy sounds fun. Make Dayton a separate Yamhill Valley day when Heiser Farms’ three pumpkin cannons are the main event.

Central Oregon is a weekend: hike Smith Rock, then roll into the ranch when it opens September 26. Southern Oregon can be daytime Fort Vannoy plus a 23 Screams night if your group splits between little kids and brave teens. The coast is Mahaffy’s Cider Barn. The east is Echo after dark. For more city and region bases beyond the patches, browse our Oregon cities and towns guides. Prices, hours, and weather rules change fast in Oregon fall, and muddy boots are part of the deal. Confirm your date on the official farm page, buy tickets when farms ask you to, and leave a little room in the trunk for one pumpkin that somehow became three.

Planning more than a farm visit? The Fall in Oregon guide can help you pair your patch with the right region, hike, Coast stay, or town stop.
