My first experience visiting Fog Willow Farm was as a parent chaperone during my son's kindergarten…read morefield trip, and it was such a wonderful day. We rode the bus from the school and checked in at the designated field trip area when we arrived. Since there were four classes, they split us into groups, which made everything feel organized and smooth. The kids absolutely loved the hay ride and getting a tour of the farm to see the layout. One child was so excited she almost fell over. Her water bottle fell but she was safe. We then visited the animals and learned about all the amazing things the farm does, which was both fun and educational. After the tour, the kids enjoyed time on the playground and had snacks. There were also shops and places to eat, which was great for families and chaperones. The bathrooms are port-a-potties. They do have hand washing stations. I had never heard of this farm before, but it truly exceeded my expectations. We will definitely be back next year! It was only $5 per child and $15 for parents which wasn't bad.

There was some booths setup in front with sage, oddities, cotton candy and other items for sale. There were also some baby chicks we could see and pet. Next we got some hot beverages and snacks. Warmed us right up! We checked out the few farm animals they had - sheep, goat, horse, pig, baby cow and chickens! We then wandered into the corn maze and enjoyed getting lost in the fun. Then once the kids were ready, we hopped on the tractor ride over to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins before heading out. It was a wonderful couple hours to spend at the farm. Recommend for families with younger and older kids!

This Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin festival two day weekend event has been occurring since 1994 but when…read moreCovid happened in 2020 it happened online. It was only recently we attended if we weren't away traveling as my wife loves a huge festival that entails lots of walking, live music, shopping & food. It's an ideal place at autumn time with giant pumpkin weigh-ins. This year 2025 the top pumpkin weighed 2,147 pounds! Brian Werner from Gridley California won. This year they also had a scarecrow contest, pumpkin recipe contest, lil pumpkin cupcake & youth art contests. There were also multiple stages of entertainment & the pumpkin regatta happened on Sunday. We didn't arrive here until after an hour of opening yet they had plenty of parking at 20 dollars a pop. We did spend several hours here so it was worth our time. Also they do have kids rides & activities for them! That tractor tram ride for kids only looked so fun! It is really a family friendly event! This year we bought their Mediterranean food: chicken gyro & lamb salad. Service was good. My chicken gyro however was meh. Yet my wife loved her tasty spicy lamb salad as she ate the entire entree bc she was hangry! That value on that salad was worth it to her! My wife even purchased her favorite chocolate dipping' dots bc people kept walking past us eating them! We also observed some people dressed in costumes & lots of furry friends on leashes. An ideal place for people watching too! The weather was the most perfect right after a stormy week! Not hot as the temperature was nice & cool! Last Saturday it was odd though as the internet was down so they encouraged to bring cash! Cash is King! Now if you missed this year's festival make it a point to attend next year. It usually occurs the first weekend in October. You will be highly entertained. Seriously. My wife thought her pictures she captured were exceptionally pretty bc of the beautiful pumpkin orangey colors especially against the greenery background, bright sun & blue pond. It does make you appreciate our lovely sunny California weather. We are truly blessed.

Being a local Elk Grovenian and living here for 20+ years, I have never been to the ever popular…read moreand famous GPF. Why? I don't know but perhaps I was influenced by someone years back telling me it's not worth coming because there's hardly anything. Boy were they wrong!! I enjoyed every minute of the GPF. Sure it's mostly for kids but I as an adult, with no kids, I still had fun going. There are plenty of food vendors, coffee vendor and a variety of desserts (ice cream, kettle corn, shaved ice). The cooling desserts are much needed on a hot day in October like it was this past weekend. Don't forget to bring a water bottle, hat & sunglasses since you'll be at the park for a couple hours. The vendors are all spread out in Elk Grove Park so there's an ample amount of walking to experience all that there was to offer at the GPF. My friend and I got there close to opening on Sunday morning which is the last day. We did hit a bit of traffic, however, traffic was moving and we weren't stuck on the street for more than 5 minutes. If you go early, you'll find good paved parking. If you go later, you'll be parking in the unpaved areas. Parking was $10 and it is all day or you can chance it and park in the neighborhoods. I was most excited to see the pumpkin regatta but we didn't get to see it because I think they started rowing the pumpkin boats slightly before 12 pm (12 pm was scheduled time). I did see them carving the pumpkins when we arrived at 10 am. There's plenty of photo ops for little kids and adults in the pumpkin village and there was also a scarecrow contest. Many of the vendors give out useable freebies which can be used during the festival or later on. There were also other small businesses that had their own booths such as arts & crafts, trinkets, hand made soaps & bath bombs etc. Plenty of things to do for the whole family of all ages. Just a note, there are 2 different events for Saturday and Sunday. The pumpkin weigh-in occurs on Saturday along with some other fruits & veggies weigh-ins. Sunday is the pumpkin regatta and the big splash after the regatta. There are also different events at the main stage and smaller stages too. Next year, I'm coming on Saturday to watch the pumpkin weigh-in. The winners for the pumpkin weigh-in were present on Sunday with their awards, and there was a final standing for all participants.

You will pass the small stop call u-pick scales to check the weight of car going in. After done, they will weight again car out with all veggies you picked. We arrived at 7:20. Not too crowded but upick's opened at 7. There are some people already almost their picking. I saw a lot of buckets filled with serrano chile and cucumbers. ****Everything seems fine until the final part***. There are only 2 car lines using for both way in and out. Also you have to go out with the same scale station when you got in. Which makes the traffic flow slow and busy. There're car waiting right behind us. We're feeling so rush. Whatever number of scale she said we just ok with it without having any doubts for 2 not full bags at 25lbs. As right we got home. We check again the weights of both bags 3 times with home scale. It's ONLY 15-16lbs. I evened take picture of everything i got and ask chatgpt to estimate. The number's same what we just checked at home from around 13-19lbs. I have no idea how's car scales work? Why it added up to 10lbs difference. With the price 50cents/lb for upick is really affordable but then you add up the scale like this is non acceptable! Will be the last visit to this farm. Everyone should know about this thing happened and pay attention to it.

We went right at sundown, so we had that extra element of spookiness. You get a map, but it's really easy to lose your sense of direction in there. We relied heavily on other people's explorations of dead ends. The path itself is fairly nicely paved, but it's a bit bumpy, like a row of speed bumps. We made it out in less than an hour. After the maze, we picked up some pumpkins. It was fun choosing the pumpkins that become our jack o lanterns later, Pro tips: - if you go when it's truly dark, bring a flashlight for the corn maze - you'll get your corn maze tickets faster, potentially, if you pay in cash. when I went, they got their own fast line - pumpkins are cheaper in bulk. we bought 7 for less than $5 each (medium sizes)
