Not your traditional farmhouse experience at a pumpkin patch, but more of a carnival feel. The…read morepumpkin patch itself consists of pre-picked pumpkins. There are tons of bounce houses, of which the smaller are included in the entrance fee and the larger ones cost $ to participate -- which a punch pass can be purchased for. We went on a Sunday. The price for adults was $7 each, and the price for our 7-year-old was $5. You get a stamp on your hand, but be careful because it easily washes off. I recommend getting stamped on your inner wrist. The food was expensive -- $30 for 3 tacos and 1 drink -- but I suppose that's to be expected at a venue such as this. A platter of Dino chicken nuggets and fries was $10, and the cotton candy was $8. Parking is free. Bathrooms are porta potties and gross, as you can imagine. Staff are friendly. The haunted trail is recommended for kids ages 12+, and I would agree that little kids should not be on this trail. It is more gory than it is haunted. There are several buildings along the trail, and may be 2-3 of the building could be seen as more haunted, but the rest of them were very gory. One was outright bloody (think scenes from Texas Chainsaw Massacre). The punch pass has no expiration date so can be used again at a future visit. The property is really large, so even though there are a lot of people, it doesn't feel extremely crowded even if the parking lot is packed. I would recommend this place for families who have older kids who aren't yet teenagers. And skip the haunted trail if you have a little ones with you.

The pricing is based on size which means most of the pumpkins are at least $10-$15. Some of the pumpkins looked good for picking but they were still on the vine, so I imagine people can only pick from the pre cut ones. They had a decent selection for mini pumpkins and gourds. The mini white pumpkins had some imperfections and started at $4 so I unfortunately decided to pass on them. There are some cute photo ops, and there's an ATM on site. The corn maze is probably one of their most popular attractions but my fiancé and I decided not to do it. There's a children's playground that's extra cost, some turkeys, chickens, lambs and horses in the pens. There are some stands for corn dogs, popcorn and lemonade. Lots of parking. I think what's nice about this pumpkin patch is it's free entry and you pay for the stuff you want to participate in/buy which is nice!

Peterson's Farm is a small working farm in a hilly rural area just outside of Petaluma. Don't expect a huge parking lot, jumpy houses, sprawling corn mazes and haunted houses. Peterson's is small, intimate, quaint, and low-key. The grounds are very pretty with many trees, barns and fields, etc. However, the patch is rather small and I agree with another reviewer who mentioned the pumpkin selection was pretty slim for early October. They probably have a lot of schools going there to pick up pumpkins during the week. On the grounds you'll find adorable cows, bunnies, ponies, chickens, and geese that you can feed. There are many beehives, a couple apple trees, and a small barn where you can purchase honey and other things like tomatoes and soap (if they have any in stock). The farm is perfect for small children or babies. I wish the areas surrounding the patch were a little more maintained. There are a few dilapidated fences and structures that are laying around in piles and instead of being removed, just have caution tape around them. These "props" did not look good in the background of the photos I was trying to shoot of my toddler picking a pumpkin. Overall this place is really cute and perfect for small children. They have wagons that you can take out to the field to haul your pumpkins back. Luckily, Peterson's doesn't get too crowded on the weekends and there was plenty of parking in their small lot. The pumpkins are reasonably priced according to size, rather than weight. Bring cash because they don't take cards.

Went here today for a hunt through the pumpkin patch. This is a small, family owned farm. If you're…read morelooking for a spot to pick up a pumpkin, have your child (or your friend's children, or your dog, or your boyfriend) pose next to a giant cardboard cutout of Elvira or Frankenstein, or Divine... This isn't the place to go. If you're afraid of dirt and mud, chickens, honeybees, cows, ponies, or, well... REAL LIFE, like where your food really comes from... Don't come here. Like I said, Peterson's is a real live working farm. The pumpkin patch size was on the smaller side, we got fantastic pictures of my daughter sitting around a bunch of pumpkins in, OH MY GOD, the dirt!!! I was totally stoked to come here and am thrilled that my money has gone directly to helping a family farm thrive. My husband and I laughed at a family that showed up dressed, well, for a stroll in the city... The mother all but had high heels on. Clearly, they were really looking for a place where their spawn could jump in bouncy houses and have a Disney-fied experience of a harvest tradition. They never took the kids out of the Armada and split as soon as they realized that they'd be walking in dirt to peruse the pumpkin patch. Peterson's offers educational tours for children on honey farming, and they grow other seasonal delights in addition to pumpkins - tomatoes, persimmons, dried flowers... I can't wait until my daughter is a bit older to bring her back here, perhaps in the spring, so get another gander at the chickens and cows and ponies (OH MY!!!).

There was an entry fee which I never experienced before. Ended up paying $10 just to pick up some pumpkins. We ended up walking around to see what they have. There were a couple of food booths. They have tons of activities, a corn kernel pit, corn maze, small petting zoo, tractor rides, apple canyon, even a little zip line set up. A great spot for kids. Of course they have the pumpkin patch as well with a good variety of different kinds of pumpkins. After walking around and picking out a couple unique pumpkins, we checked out. $30 for two pumpkins. Overall, a cool spot if you have kids, but looks like for entry and wristbands for kids, the price tag could really add up, especially if you're getting pumpkins too!

There are lots of pumpkins (mostly off the vine when we went late in the season), including the cool "warty" knucklehead variety. Prices depend on girth, not weight, and range from $13-$22 for most of the average sizes. You can bring your own lunch or purchase from vendors. Either way, there are plenty of clean covered picnic tables, It started misting with blustery winds, and we stayed dry. The canopies seemed securely anchored. The drive is beautiful, with the hills and redwoods and happy cows. Parking was okay, but I advise to get there early. The cheese shop abuts the patch and is a must.

2025 weekend October visit…read more Location: beautiful, an actual place where you see vines, gourds and other produce still growing from ground. Parking: plenty but busy days require patience for families loading back into car and leaving. Activities: petting zoo with a horse for children to ride, ducks, chickens, pigs, goats and more, hayride, face painting, bounce houses, maze, live music from littles and a band for adults. Payment: Best to bring cash but vendors have card readers too, reception can be spotty. Pumpkins: Nice variety, priced by size. I heard a few families complaining about pricing but a few extra bucks is well worth supporting a local farm that supports the neighboring natural environment and creates a wonderful fall experience for families this time of year. Vibe: Extremely family friendly, vendors were sweet to the children. Many children running around, smiles seen, laughter heard. Food: Coffee, Bbq, shaved ice, ice cream and drinks.

Cassidy Ranch is a place where you get to pick flowers and strawberries on your own. It starts off with you receiving a souvenir jar for your flowers as well as cutters and a tray for strawberries. You then get a brief tour of the lovely farm and then they let you loose to pick and cut at your leisure. You'd think there'd be nothing left but there were plenty of strawberries and flowers to go around. The strawberries were so fresh and so delicious. Apparently they sometimes do wine tasting from their winery.. I'm bummed I missed out on that. Anyways check this place out if you are skeptical of a "u-pick" business because this one won't disappoint.
