We were on the hunt for pumpkins one weekend. On the drive home we saw a sign for this place, so we…read morespontaneously pulled in. There's lots of parking after you drive down the gravel road, and we were directed to a spot by attendants. They were very nice and helped us return our cart at the end. I immediately loved the adorable decorations, the colorful wheelbarrows, the pumpkin displays, and all the family activities. They had campfire sites sprinkled throughout the central area where you could buy smores supplies and make a smore after pumpkin hunting. They had a few snacks and a hot and cold cider available. Tickets to the corn maze were available at the purchase desk, and there were also lots of great photo stands around in case you felt like being a pumpkin-head. It was very well thought out as far as it being a one-stop family autumn fun festival. They had two large patches with multiple varieties of pumpkin types with varying ranges in size, color, and shape. As is customary for me, I found the wartiest, ugliest one for myself, and the husband of mine found the biggest and most pristine. If you didn't want to cut your own, they have many displays you can sample from. Prices were displayed based on relative size, which I like way more than the trouble of weighing. Overall, it was a fun holiday experience.

During rainy days, it's gonna get muddy walking through that lot. It gets better once you pass the entrance and go through the path. You will go along the Oxbow Lake on one side and apple trees on the other. After that path, you'll get to the farm where small vegetable, pumpkin, and sunflower patches are. Everything is so cute! The most interesting part is the conservation tent is. Super big and full of baby plants. Amazing! Just don't touch anything :) They grow a lot of flowers too. They have tomatoes in another tent. There are activities for kids such as painting pumpkins or scavenging hunt. You can also have lunch at the tables and buy cider from them :)

I needed to be in Carnation for a quick meet-up, and I decided to plan a day of activities visiting…read morethe area - Carnation Farms (and Remlinger Farms). Arriving at Carnation Farms, not knowing what exactly might be there, I was firstly surprised to see the classic "Carnation Farms" logo with the exact font type and the carnation flower on the cans of evaporated milk that I have seen my entire life. Wait a minute, is this THE "Carnation Farms"? Well, yes, but also a no, but also a yes. LOL. I ended up reading the historical signs and chatting with the cashier for a while (there were no other customers - zero). Carnation was indeed the dairy farm that made the now world-famous evaporated milk, created in 1899. The business grew and thrived so well that the community of Tolt was renamed to Carnation in 1917 although the name changed back and forth two more times before it stayed with Carnation. In downtown Carnation, many businesses are still named Tolt, including the Tolt River. In 1985, Nestle brought the Carnation company. In 2016, the original Stuart family purchased the name "Carnation Farms" back from Nestle. The name rights exclude diary, but they have animals and is now a venue, amongst other business ventures. We missed a local market that was on the previous day. Today, this sleepy business sells many locally made products and hosts community events such as the local market. Limited bundles of produce represented the 'farm' name poorly, if I am being honest. I asked the cashier which products in the store are actually from the current farm. She pointed to the freezer case. I chose a frozen curry goat soup from the case. It was passable, more soup than goat, i.e. not much meat. If you want to visit, check their calendar of events and go for a museum tour or one of their many events. The shop itself is less interesting.

They also have goats and donkeys for viewing. The prices are pretty steep. We paid $168 for our 7 foot tree. We cut it ourselves and a guy came over pronto to cart it away and bailed it for us. When we got home, I was surprised to find that it had not been shaken (although I had noticed they had a shaker) and there were lots of loose, dead needles, and a patch of mud that was really hard clean off of the lower branches. They also have a gift shop with pre-decorated wreathes and homey Christmas decorations.

Don't miss the mini donuts and espresso at the snack shack. There's farm animals to see and amazing views of the valley.

And Lora Lee's was the perfect place to break my streak! It's only 45 minutes from Seattle, in an idyllic setting, with friendly staff and a ton of vibrant, cheery sunflowers. We did the sunflower maze which was beautiful and not hard. There are lots of bees but they don't really care about people--they're busy with the flowers! They also have a little stand with shave ice, coffee and snacks and some tables and chairs so you can sit and relax in the lovely setting. I believe they rotate sunflower maze locations--the one we went to was a bit of a walk. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes, as the ground is a little bumpy. I definitely want to add Lora Lee's into my flower-pilgrimage rotation!
