Pumpkin patches in California

65 pumpkin patches across California. 6 have published this fall’s dates so far, running Aug 28 to Jan 3.

Patches open from mid-September and most close on or just after Halloween, so the dates below are the ones to plan around. Of the 65, 30 keep farm animals or a petting zoo, 16 have a corn maze and 14 run hay rides. What each farm charges is on its own page.

A patch, not a pumpkin: a place is listed because its own website says it runs a pumpkin patch, or because it is a farm whose autumn calendar says pumpkins. Carving demonstrations, a zoo’s pumpkin smash and a craft session making paper pumpkins are somewhere else, however the word appears in them.

Open this fall

6 farms have published dates, 7 listings in all, grouped by region. Hours and closing dates change through the season — the farm’s own page is the one to check before you set off.
