Spina Farms Pumpkin Patch in Morgan Hill is a must stop and I'm so glad I "dragged" the kids here…read more While entry is completely free, parking is $30, and it is worth every single penny considering how much there is to do. Individual ride tickets are very reasonable at around $8 per person. The activities here are endless and we took a ride on the classic Spina Express train, buzzed through the fields on the Bee Ride (which now features awesome new dragon figures), hopped on the hayride, and shooting pumpkins at the pumpkin blasting site. Make sure your phone is charged because the photo ops are incredible. Snap a pic with Gourdzilla, a giant Godzilla animated monster with pumpkins stuck on him, a massive King Kong, and dinosaur displays that are scattered around the grounds. The food was another major highlight of our trip. We sampled warm, delicious churros with rich chocolate dipping sauce and washed it down with fantastic cold brew from Kong Coffee. There's also a taco cart here, burgers, dogs, kettle corn and other tasty eats. PRO-TIP: If you plan your visit super close to Halloween, most of the pumpkins are marked down to an amazing 80% off!

This pumpkin patch is the best you could ask for, run entirely by students, staff, parents, and…read moreneighbors--truly a community effort! It has everything you could hope for: fun games ($1), delicious food ($1-$5), and activities that change daily, keeping things fresh and exciting. The Haunted Trail ($15) is an absolute highlight--expertly acted by teachers, staff, and students, with a set design that's nothing short of spectacular. It's a one-of-a-kind experience suitable for all ages (just keep in mind, no photography is allowed to preserve the magic). There's also a charming mini-theater with open seating where they play nostalgic movies--cozy lights, no overwhelming crowds, and a perfect vibe for a relaxing night under the stars. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds go directly to supporting the school. As a proud neighbor, I can say this isn't just a pumpkin patch--it's a celebration of community spirit. Please visit and support! This review is from the heart, not a sponsorship. https://www.mefhome.org/patch

I wouldn't recommend going to Moreland Pumpkin Patch if you're planning on doing the family walk…read more It was quite expensive at $15 per person, even for my 2yo. 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.

Super beautiful landscape, and short hiking trail with signs that have fun facts about pumpkins and trees that they grow. We went for their pizza and wine night which made for a festive afternoon with good vibes. The $20 parking goes towards a mini pumpkin, and you also get a free mini pumpkin if you take a picture with sign at the top of the pumpkin patch. We brought home a couple extra pumpkins to support the business. We will return next year. It beats the craziness at Spina 100 times over.

The true definition of a hidden gem! I've known of J&P Cosentino Farm for years and knew the…read moregeneral area of where it was, but it really is tucked into a neighborhood so that you wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. The farm sits at 2 acres and boasts a variety of fruit trees, some bee boxes, a small flower garden, and a very well stocked farmstand. The stand has a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables, starter plants and herbs (they had tomatoes and strawberries when I visited in April), and a bunch of locally made and seasonal goods. Not everything comes from the farm, but they source from other farms in the Bay Area and state, and local businesses. They also work with local businesses to use their produce for fun products like jams, cocktail mixers, and dried fruits. They have tours and events at the farm, we got a tour when we went and it was really cool to learn all about the history, see the different fruit trees, and then of course visit the farmstand after and shop around.

I finally got the chance to visit this local fruit stand and it really didn't disappoint. It's…read moretucked away in a really nice, quiet cul-de-sac in a clean neighborhood behind Branham High School on the south side. If you live in the Almaden or Branham area, it's such a cool little hidden gem and definitely worth stopping by. The fruit looked super fresh, though the prices are higher than I expected, more like Whole Foods level prices. I thought going straight to the source would mean much lower prices, but what you lose in price, you definitely gain in freshness. For example, their strawberries were $5 per little green basket (three for $15), which comes out to about $5 a pound. At Costco, organic strawberries are $5.49 for 2 pounds, roughly $2.75 per pound. The giant seeded watermelons were $12.49 here, compared to $6.49 at Walmart. (Suggestions from a visitor) A couple of friendly suggestions that I think would be really helpful: It would be great if they posted online what fruit is in season and what will be at the stand, along with the prices. That way people can plan ahead and know when to make the drive when their favorite fruits are available. Also, there are no signs letting customers know they can go in the back. I only knew because I saw pictures on Yelp. Locals who've been here before probably already know, but as a first-timer, it looked like an employee-only area so I didn't go back there. A simple sign would be awesome, it would bring more people to the back to sit, eat, and enjoy the space since most fruit stands don't have that nice extra feature. Overall, worth visiting if you don't mind paying a bit more for freshness.

They have cool green, warty, striped, etc types of pumpkins. There are also decorative gourds, corn, and hay bales. The proceeds go the Peppertree School but this year they also help Union Middle after school programs. But the REAL gem is going in the evening, when there are only a few families, and the kids can enjoy the fun stuff they have. They have big wheels, tricycles, a rope swing (like a sit on swing made of rope, pretty cool) and a couple of small bouncy houses. The staff we encountered were VERY child friendly. They also have 2 bunnies, a few chickens, and some very happy looking goats. Overall, very nice little patch. If you don't have time to go to the farm, come here:)

We got invited by some friends to come and had no expectations, but we were completely blown away…read more This is so kid friendly with a petting zoo, giant blowing of bubbles, playground, and music. All the kids had so much fun running around and exploring. They also had little animal statues that the kids loved. They had a good selection of food trucks with yummy food. We ended up grabbing food at the end and listening to the awesome country band they had, while our little one danced with other kids. It's free entry and only $6 for parking. I highly recommend attending, and we will be going back next year.

The festival is put on by the Santa Clara County Parks Dept along with various sponsors and a bunch of awesome volunteers. Here's a quick list of some of the stuff we saw: -Free parking for the festival -4H Club had Pig Painting, Seed Planting and a Petting Zoo! -SJ Libraries promotin' learnin', and such truck... -Pumpkin Carving and Painting -Our City Forest with tree planting tips -Smokey the Bear!!!! -County Parks and the Valley Open Space Preserve were there to hand out flyers, talk about their parks and encourage people to hike! -Multiple Food Trucks: Oh, Miso Hungry, Cookies & Cream, Smoked Out BBQ & Waffles Amore -Plenty of restrooms -Pumpkin Bowling!!! -"Cattle" roping & branding! -Live bands -Face painting -Organic Farming display by Jacobs Farms. In fact all the Pumpkins at the Festival were provided by Jacobs Farms--so kudos to them for that! I'm not usually a fan of festivals, but this one is different: it's mostly free and heavily promotes outdoor activities --which I'm all for. Plus, the venue of Martial Cottle is the perfect place to hold this event, and I can't wait for next year.

This is one of my favorite pumpkin patches in the South Bay because of their huge selection of…read morejumpers for kids. Kids can jump for 30 minutes for $12 or 60 minutes for $16 (prices can change so don't quote me). The jumpers aren't under direct sunlight like I've seen in other pumpkin patches and that's why I continue to bring the kiddos to this one. I came for the first time last year and enjoyed the variety of jumpers they had. They have a good selection of pumpkins. Last year the selection was bigger. But it's still a decent selection of pumpkins. The pumpkins range in price based on size. Ours was $15. We also bought 2 carving kits. On your way in and out of the patch they have a cute setup for a family photo. They also have a stand with snacks. The woman working it was very friendly and patient as the kiddos picked their snacks. They have inflatable ducks on water that kids can ride. They have a big slide, paintball, pony rides, and a petting zoo. A lot of space to park even when very busy. This place is fun and family friendly!
