My friends and I visited Arata's together in early November- Half Moon Bay boasts a bevy of pumpkin farms right by this beautiful sleepy town on the coast of the Peninsula. We went through the haunted house- definitely meant for little kids, but the maze was beautifully done! Lots of pumpkins everywhere, and the corn field was aesthetically appealing as well. Arata's is quite sizeable, which is perfect for people that may get more claustrophobic in smaller farms. Great spot to visit as a family in my opinion- there may be better options if you're going for a more romantic vibe? read more

I'd visited Arata's once before in 2021, and it hasn't changed at all! We LOVE a dog-friendly pumpkin patch. It was definitely crowded on a Saturday afternoon, and parking was $20, which felt a bit steep. Luckily, this also provides you with a $10 pumpkin voucher in order to offset the cost - I was able to get 2 tiny pumpkins and a tiny acorn squash for "free". There's no shortage of photo ops here, between the fields of pumpkins, maze, train ride, petting zoo, and haunted barn. Most of these are really geared towards children. I mainly visited to pick up some pumpkins, take some photos, and let my dog roll around in the hay (he had a blast). All the staff members we interacted with were super friendly. Overall, worth the visit for some seasonal fun! read more

Arata's pumpkin farm is one of our family's favorite Halloween traditions! Every year they change the maze, so it never gets boring year after year. They've definitely increased staffing to keep the lines moving faster this year, but we always leave with a pumpkin, since up to $10 is included in the price of parking. The maze is fun for children and adults, and usually takes us 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Overall, it's worth the price for a fun evening! Ps there is accessible parking, but most of this area is unpaved so as long as you're comfortable with dirt roads, it should be accessibility friendly. read more

So I looked this place up online. I was excited to take the drive out here to the coast from the East Bay! Parking was pretty long and consistent but not too bad. $20 to park and $10 back towards a pumpkin what a deal! We did buy wristbands! $45 is way to much! But we probably should have only bought one for my daughter. One parent gets to go free with the child. Not worth the price! Pumpkins are to expensive and they didn't have anything to eat or drink that had pumpkin theme. Or fall theme. The scenery was pretty! Was cooler because of the fog but still sunny! When we came in we tried to get coffee at the little shop! But the lady running the shop said "they were all out!" so I asked her "When would the next batch be ready?" She said, it depends on customer and had an attitude, sounded like she didn't want to make the coffee. So we ignored it and said we would come back later. We did love the maze! Probably one of the best mazes yet! Definitely what makes it 4 stars! and the bouncy houses were great! And the haunted house was definitely scary. The hayride was fun as well. There's a lot to do! And the pumpkins on the vine are very authentic and original! The wristbands are definitely worth it for kids who will be here all day! But a rip off for the adults. We loved it but don't know if we'd drive back and come here for the journey! Was ok experience! read more

We've been to so many pumpkin patches all over the Bay Area and this was truly a pleasant experience! More importantly, it was not crowded at all, which I feel like most of them can feel really overwhelming. Their pumpkin selection was very diverse, with so many to choose from. My kiddo loved pulling the wagon along to pick pumpkins. I like that you can either buy tickets à la carte (just for the attractions) or buy the wristband. Given my kid isn't going to want to do all the attractions, it was actually a good deal to just pay à la carte for things like just the train ride, hayride, etc. All the staff were super friendly and kind and helpful! We came home with four medium pumpkins and two minis for less than $35! They even offer a free mini pumpkin if you write a review and I can honestly say I didn't take advantage of it and wrote this review after coming home just because! Great way to kick off the spooky season! read more

Second time here. Favorite thing is the maze. It's different each time and this time. Took us 19 minutes to finish the hay maze. The haunted house is different too but there's a few in there that can give you an unexpected scare. Petting zoo, love the goats so chill. Ducks don't like people though. Hay ride was fun too. Nice little ride around the farm. All in all I would come back next year for a third time! read more

Beautiful & fun pumpkin farm. Only one that's open late until 10:30 in HMB. Parking was $20 but it goes towards pumpkins, the maze was fun esp at night, they had a haunted barn, pony rides and other fun stuff. Super cute and fun place. They have a lot of places to sit and eat with kids, a lot of tables and benches, and they sell packaged food and snacks. Prices vary on days, parking lot is pretty big read more

Came in very below expectations, and the price for the hay maze + haunted house makes it seem like you get value, but was pretty lackluster. Please note this place seems to be like a place for kids even with the haunted house offering, so if you'r any older than a preteen this place may not be as fun as expected. I came on a Friday afternoon and parking was easy and free. For starters, the hay maze was pretty fun and well thought out, but there wasn't really a feeling of lost since it was a pretty basic maze. On wrong turns, you go for a bit and you can backtrack. Especially with more people, the maze becomes a lot less fun since you can deduce which path is the right one after seeing the parties ahead of you turn around. If anything, this is one perfect maze for little kids to run around and have fun in. The haunted house was a pretty sad experience, and the only thing "haunted" about it was that it's in a barn. It was literally a 1 or 2 minute walk, with most fixtures being there to scare off little kids. If you're looking for a haunted house, this place again misses the mark, especially for crowds where middle school aged kids and lower are the primary target. They had one actor, and the rest was displays with music. If you're here for the haunted house, there are other places for better scares. The main fields of the pumpkin patch weren't that impressive, and I was surprised how little there was to do. The pumpkin patch itself isn't aesthetic to a point where there are photo worthy spots or cool fixtures, but just one fixture. Most photo spots seems to be ruined with large NO SMOKING signs around it, if not other random signs. Solid experience for family fun, but I'll only be back if I have little me's running around in the future. read more

Lots of cute spots for photos. We'd like more homemade snacks and drinks though. It would be a hit if they had Vietnamese corn milk or served some hot pumpkin spice lattes. :) Overall, highly recommend this farm! read more

Free parking the last weekend of September and Monday through Thursdays in October! October weekends are busy and parking is $20 but they give you a $10 voucher to spend on pumpkins. Go early in themorning to beat the crowds. Upon entering the gate, you're typically greeted by a friendly employee or sometimes the owners. Then to the right the first window is where you purchase wristbands or tickets for the maze, haunted barn, hay ride, train ride, petting zoo, or playland. If you plan on spending a lot of time, then the wristband can be worth it. The hay maze was difficult this year and I have gone through it twice. The middle window is where you check out to purchase pumpkins. Be sure to use your coupon/voucher!! To the left after the main entry is the snack shack full of little goodies. Make sure to get some fudge and ice cream on the way out! And of course, under the extra large white tent is where lots of pumpkins are located. There's also a bunch behind it and near the corn field and hay maze. This year, I noticed the toddler hay maze is to the left of the large maze. It has pumpkins stacked on the top entrance and this is free. There's also picnic tables and benches available but can also be reserved ahead of time for parties. read more

Went here with my bf and our 9 month old dog! It was her first time at a pumpkin patch and we wanted to find one that was super dog friendly and Arata's was! While expensive it was one of the few places driving distance from san jose where she could do everything with us! We went through the hay maze and on the hay ride with her. They told us she could ride the train and walk through the haunted house as well! (without the jump scares of course) There were many dogs so beware of that, especially in the hay maze with the blind corners. But everyone was super respectful, and the dogs were having fun! The Hay maze was pretty difficult. Might have enjoyed it more on a cooler day, but after what felt like forever turning down dead ends, we finally cheated and asked one of the employees for hints. If you are interested in a challenge this is the place for you! As for pricing, parking is $20, but they give you a coupon for $10 off your pumpkin purchase. Activities were pretty pricey, we paid a little over $40 for two people to do the hay maze and hay ride. Pumpkin prices were not very clear as an employee looked at our array of pumpkins and wrote down a number ($69 for a huge one and 4 small/medium ones) with no price breakdown. I'm sure they would provide one if asked tho. And they had some of the biggest pumpkins that I seen at a pumpkin patch before. While expensive and a bit of a drive for us, we got everything we wanted out of it and had an amazing day with our pup Millie! We plan to go back next year and try some of the other dog friendly patches in the area. read more

This is one of the better pumpkin patches to come with your kids. They've got a hayride, train, haystack maze, petting zoo, playland, haunted house, and tons of pumpkins. Keep in mind, you will be paying $20 for parking, with a $10 discount at the register, you will pay for the rides as well as the pumpkins. It will not be a cheap day, but it's a fun place, run by a happy staff. There's plenty of parking, but I recommend you show up early, because it fills up quick. read more

Wonderful area, first class incredibly nice people. I swear that maze was mine blowing. There is so much to do there for animals and kids. You'll never have to worry about a dull moment. They are also pet friendly and they like the military. I would go back in a minute money well spent. Make sure that when you visit this place to visit their little snack bar because if you go in, they have pies and fudge that they make that is so delicious and it's made with the pumpkins from the property and it's so creamy and not that thick dense pumpkin pie junk you see everywhere else it was perfect pumpkin pie.

To get this experience going, you'll check-in with the staff and let them know you want to do the sunflower experience. It's $20 for 6 sunflowers and they give you looper (thing used to cut the flowers), sign a waiver, and you can into the two different sunflower fields to pick which ones you like. If you want to walk the fields, without picking flowers, it's $12 per person. Once we paid, we grabbed our looper and headed out. We had the dogs with us, and they had a blast just walking around and taking in the scenery. We found the sunflowers we wanted, and headed back toward the entrance to cut and clean the ones we picked. When we were finished, they wrapped up our flowers in a bag with some water so they could make the journey back home with us. The staff here were amazing. Since it was our first time doing this, they were patient with us and explained their best tips to cut and clean. Very nice people all around! Definitely a fun coast side experience and a great thing to do when the weather is as nice as it's been. If you are planning on going out into the fields, highly recommend bringing shoes you don't mind getting dirty.

We were enjoying the moment. We indented to purchase the gourd until this guy (owner) walked up to us and said you break it you buy it. We were just surprised by his comment, we put down the gourd and left. I did noticed him stalking us, back and forth. Poor customer service, Instead of him greeting us and asking us if we needed help. What a way to run a business. You will never get free advertisement from us. Farmer John's lets you walk around and enjoy all the pumpkins. Yes you can touch them too. No one is stalking you. They have a hayride too, that was fun.

We lined up at our 730pm check-in time and waited 35 minutes in the cold and were only halfway through the line. We left because it would have been another 25-35 more minutes to get through the line. However, the staff was great and the carnival games were fun. Nice to have all of the thoughtful decorations as well, our child loved playing with all of the pumpkins.

This patch is cute…read more The haunted trail costs $15 per person and there are scheduled appointment times to go in, however the line backs up and you have to wait at least 30 minutes past your appointment time before entering. We did not enter the trail until 720pm, and that is after getting in line at 640pm. Just be aware. Which is fine, my family had fun and the actors inside are funny and well rehearsed. However, since we waited so long, we got out of the trail around 750pm. My kid wanted to play the carnival games, which close at 8pm, so we bought some tickets to play, and were out to the carnival by 752pm, they had already taken everything down and had only a few simple games still up. My kid was bummed, but I figured since there were no refunds, I could go back and get a snack instead with my tickets. I was denied and told to come back next week to redeem the tickets. I know this is all for a good cause and it really isn't too big of a deal, but it is silly that I literally bought the tickets within a minute and then walked back after the carnival being closed and then denied to even use the tickets on anything else and then told to come back next week. They were told not to sell any tickets since they were closing up the carnival early, but I guess it wasn't communicated well. I guess we will be back to use up the tickets next weekend...?

Our challenge: Find…read morecreative ways to enjoy and consume *100%* of the bounty that our friends at Greenhearts (and their partner organic farms) harvest from here in the greater Bay Area and deliver to our door-step week after week. No root, leaf, or berry will go uneaten. Especially the berries. We've been enjoying this delicious fresh bounty for over 5 years. Everything is amazing. The veggies are always perfect. Best I've ever had. Sweet, ripe, crispy, deliciousness. I even got my parents to sign up. I want to give a fair assessment: After 5+ years, we've received the occasional fruit that is disappointing - Cara Cara oranges are the best oranges I've ever tasted, but the strawberries picked at full ripeness sometimes only have a day or two left before spoiling, and stone-fruit like peaches, nectarines, or plums are occasionally be less juicy or sweet, probably depending on the weather that year. We still eat it all, even the kale, and the abundance of zucchini that arrives each summer. But our most difficult item has always been the beets. I love them, but my household thinks beets taste like dirt. I've tried dozens of different preparations, even my wife's grandmother's polish chocolate beet cake recipe, but to no avail. I had reverted to giving beets away to friends and neighbors because I couldn't eat them all myself. But no longer! Bring on the beets! (Lettuce Turnip the Beet!) I have a new trick up my sleeve: Beet Kvass - and I can drink it all day. Sooooo easy to make. In short: Raw, unpeeled, chopped beets go in a salt water brine, and get left in a warm dark place for about a week or two until the juice is funky, healthy, and delicious. Second stage fermentation (put the juice in a flip-top bottle) is optional and enables carbonation. Delicious! (Posting because I'm overdue for an update, but everything I said in my previous review still stands.)

They sent an email at 3 AM expecting us to check it first thing in the morning and track down the package before work. By the time I located it, the ice packs were completely melted (I had added milk and eggs), and one item was missing. When I called customer service for help, the representative was curt and dismissive. I was told they could not credit the milk and eggs because I didn't have a photo proving where/how it was delivered. Because of this experience, I cancelled my upcoming subscription and would not recommend this service to anyone.

Save yourself the hassle of the grocery store - Skip the trip and get quality, local produce shipped straight to your door.

So many seasonal produce options like rhubarb, carrots, spinach, apples, lemons, micro greens & much more!
