The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch is CLOSED!! We showed up to an empty field! Yelp needs to update this listing!

This was a great pumpkin patch. As I remember it, they even had a spot where kids could milk a cow. Sorry it doesn't seem to exist anymore.

We like FREE.....If your a family on a budget then you might want to check out this pumpkin patch. Free admission and free parking. What's free now a days ? There is a live band on the weekends, farm animals, pumpkin ice cream, BBQ, hay maze, corn kernel pool, dig,your own potato tractor rides and more. This place was off the chains today. The live band was rockin, people were dancing. I've never been to this patch until today. It was a load of fun and we enjoyed the corn kernel pit. They had 2 both with plenty of room. This location if off the beaten path. Plenty of parking too. I'm looking forward to coming back year after year read more

Experience was good considering it's free. The tractor ride and picking pumpkin is cute. The tractor driver today was not enjoying his role at all- and plainly displaying it- basically frowning and no engagement at all. The maze was perfect for small children- small and not intimidating. My daughter's favorite besides the ice cream. My daughter loved it. I spent extensive time giving the calfs a nice rundown which they desperately needed. The second calf from the end on the left looked in need of medical care- was breathing rapidly and extremely unhealthy looking. It broke my heart and nobody to speak to regarding it so hopefully my post is read and it is addressed... if I receive acknowledgment I may bump my review up. It was 90 degrees and fresh water was needed- it was not fresh for the animals. The mama cow was swarmed with hundreds of flies and baby calves stall and waters needed a cleaning. The hand stalls to wash hand were completely dry as well ( got a nice workout from trying to get last drops to wash hands) ALL four needed refilling. You could hear the pumps sucking up water and but not residual water... We purchased $4 home made ice-cream. Of pumpkin and vanilla ( 2-3 oz at the most) way too small of a portion. It was a plastic sauce/salsa container full of ice cream! If any other place would of not bothered but the heat and want to support the concept behind this business made it a must. A recommendation- something nice thing that the calfs- children and adults might enjoy is a providing a brush or two- to give the calfs a little extra needed TLC and brush down the calfs. My favorite was giving each a 5 min rundown which they doted on. Thanks you for opening your property to the communit but please take better care of your animals . read more

A great place to take the whole family! Our three generations had such a wonderful time. We visited with all the animals - the kids found it hilarious that the piglets were eating pumpkin and loved petting the sweet little calves. They have tons of different pumpkins of all shapes and sizes at very reasonable prices. You can choose to shop the piles of pumpkins in the farmstand, or wander the fields and pick one. The farmstand also had an array of cheeses from the dairy, homemade cupcakes and halloween caramel apples, and the most delicious homemade pumpkin ice cream! An onsite ATM makes it easy to shop to your heart's content. Not just one, but two corn kernel pits - one for the bigger kids and a shallower one for the littles. Talk about entertainment! Kids leaping in, burying each other, and generally being silly. Our grandkids were all so excited to roll around in the corn that we never got to dig our own potatoes or ride in the tractor. I guess we'll just have to go back next weekend. read more

Nice pumpkin patch that has more of an authentic rural atmosphere than your typical "bouncy house" roadside pumpkin patch. This is located right on the dairy farm and you can pick your own or opt for some of the pumpkins already picked and out for display. Free admission gets you photo ops with the farm animals, a nice walk through the patch, relaxing farm views and the big "corn pit" and corn maze. Definitely a more authentic pick your own experience with tractor rides, cheese tasting, pumpkin treats for sale and fresh air in the countryside. This feels off the beaten path but in reality only about 5-6 miles outside of downtown Petaluma. Great stop for the family if you're looking for fall activities and fun on a budget. Pumpkins of all sizes for sale with what seemed to be average farm prices. Enjoyed spending some time here, even though I've already gotten this year's pumpkins. Maybe next year... read more

Sweet and simple, plenty of activities like a corn maze, hay stacks, fam animals to pet, live music on the weekend, and a tractor ride, but all provided for free as part of the (no entry fee) visit. The real focus is on-the-vine pumpkins ($5 each) and we also enjoyed their whipped ice cream. No big inflatables or rides, no surprise add on costs, just traditional pumpkin patch family fun. read more

This would be a great pumpkin patch to take your kid to. There is lots to do and all free! You can pick your own pumpkin from the stem, plant some potatoes, a maze, and lots of photo opportunities. I saw many babies having a photoshoot here. Also, there were a number of different animals to pet. I remember seeing a cow and lots of goats. I purchased a small pumpkin for $5. There is also food available here. It might be cheaper to bring your own food. My friend got a cheeseburger for around $7. Just a fair warning there are a good amount of flys. This is a great patch and everyone can enjoy! read more

This is a different pumpkin patch experience without the bouncy houses. Lots of open space with pumpkins, ice cream, cheese, BBQ, and other treats. There's live music on the weekends. read more

The great Peter Pumpkin Patch is on my first to go place during pumpkin patch season. We went there two days before they officially open but they pretty much got everything set up. As usual my son loved the corn pit and this year they have three!!! What a treat and my son was jumping from one to the other! We took some great pictures inside their pumpkin field and checked out those lovely animals. What a fun trip! We will be back next year! read more

This was a trek, but 100% worth it. Highlights: - No entry cost - Farm animals (goats, cows, sheep, pigs) - straw maze - corn pit - hay stacks - tracker rides - live music - backyard BBQ PRO TIP: Cash only. They do have an ATM on the property. This was the perfect pumpkin patch to take our child to keep her engaged and entertained. read more

Came here today and wasn't the experience we were expecting. It was very busy and a lot of people in a small area. And there were very few pumpkins in the patch to be cut along with the patch being much smaller than we anticipated. We also experienced that they hadn't cleared rotting pumpkins from smaller pumpkins that were precut for you to buy so there were flies and odd smells. Even though all activities were free, they were so packed that we couldn't enjoy any of them with our little one. We bought 3 mini pumpkins and 2 squashes which came to a total of $15. We also bought some pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin pie which were good. The one staff we interacted with was nice and helpful. This pumpkin patch did have the appeal of "old time" fun and might've been a nice experience if it hadn't been so busy/ things were a little more spread out over a bigger area and they'd actually had pumpkins in the patch to get. read more

Fun for the whole family including dogs. Beautiful selection of pumpkins, plenty of photo ops, lots to do for little ones. Loved the band that played this Sunday and didn't feel overly crowded. First time coming but surely will not be the last! read more

The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch should be called just Peter's as there are no pumpkins. The homemade ice cream was really just frozen whipped cream, so maybe we should call it Peter's whipped cream patch instead. read more

This pumpkin patch is a real farm and it's fantastic! It is a bit outside the Petaluma city limits and the drive is bumpy and scenic. You are driving through those rolling hills enjoying the cows enjoying their cud and it just appears. Hay mountains ahead! There is a ton of safe and free parking, clean bathrooms and places to wash your hands. They have two hay stack mountains to climb on and lose pocket change, bonus if you find any. There are a few cute staged cut out wood things to take pictures with but the real star are the animals and the patch. They have a few rows of yearling calves you can pet and usually have a cow you can milk. If you haven't done it before do NOT pull the teat, just grasp and squeeze your hand together. Cows don't like their teats yanked, they kick too. There is always a farmer to help. The pumpkins are in the big patch and are priced by size; bigger ones are by the road (hint) tons of traditional and "fairy" ones. You can also dig your own potatoes, dirty but fun. They sample and sell Petaluma Valley cheeses and have ice cream too (get the pumpkin). They sell coffee too and everyone is very friendly and will chat happily about the farm. I went with about 20 kids and it was a great day! I highly recommend this farm, no bounce houses and tons of smiles. read more

Totally worth the drive from SF! We came here two years in a roll and the CORN PIT itself is worth the experience for kids and adult alike! Picking pumpkins in the field and digging potatos in the dirt was a fun activity for both my toddler and my parents. The many farm animals and the new maze was also fun to see and explore. Only thing is that city folks need to adapt to the flies roaming around while you eat your yummy pumpkin ice cream. It can get hot out there, pack lunch if you are visiting during the week. I imagine the weekend can be a mad house in the corn pit... all the activities are free which is really awesome in the Bay Area! You can't help but buy some pumpkins to support those kind folks! read more

I cannot wait to visit the pumpkin patch tomorrow! This will be my second annual visit to Spring Hill Farm's Autumn tradition. This place has everything you need for a fun day with friends or family. Last year we dug for several different kinds of potatoes, picked pumpkins, tasted and purchased their delicious cheese, and experienced the best pumpkin ice cream in my life. This visit is definitely a highlight of October and I can't gush enough about Peter Pumpkin Patch. =) read more

I guess it's the end of the seadon... not many pumpkins left. They charge by size so we had to pay $38 for a few pumpkins. Tiny ice cream cups, cheese, crackers and water were pricey too. The staff was nice, but we won't be back. read more

This place was pretty fantastic. Tons of pumpkins to choose from and plenty of fun things for kids to do. They allow dogs!! We were really glad we could bring in our pup, he had a blast running around on top of the hay bales. Their ATM wasn't working at the time, and we forgot to bring cash so we had to run in to Petaluma real quick to get some. They were working on getting the machine back up and running though, so just be sure to bring cash to the Pumpkin Patch. read more

Just leaving our favorite pumpkin patch. Tons and tons of pumpkins of all different shapes sizes and colors. Good social distancing precautions are much appreciated from this visitor. Still plenty to do: hay stacks to climb, hay ride, maze, lots of animals to pet, treats and more. We'll be back next year! read more

We just visited The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch and thoroughly enjoyed it! Taking our wheelbarrow through the millions of pumpkins I found it difficult to pick! Lots of beautiful pumpkins to choose from but our favorite was the tiny white ones! What an excellent morning out with the little ones. I also appreciated that you could purchase food, snacks and water, we needed it after all the fun and playing. Highly recomment this family run farm. (Bonus-you can purchase organic cheese). read more

Fun for children and adults alike. This accessible, free pumpkin patch has a lot to offer-pumpkins, hayride, cows, sheep, calves, ice cream, a hay maze (great for kids since it's not like one of those scary corn mazes that people get lost in for hours) and cheese tasting. Lots of room to spread out and explore. I highly recommend! read more

My favorite pumpkin patch. Lately the ones that are nearby nickel and dime you for everything including parking and a fee just to enter. Not the Great Peter Pumpkin Patch. The people that work there are super friendly and they have lots of things to do for young and old. I personally love the variety of animals they allow you access to and to interact with. The people that went with me enjoyed the corn pit, the hay pyramid, the hay maze and the tractor ride. They also loved digging for potatoes. In addition, they sell products and produce from their farm. I visit this place once a year, sometimes more. read more

I don't know, I wasn't feeling it. It bothers me deeply when a dairy farm profits off of its animals, but it mainly advertises itself as a pumpkin patch. Yes, it's true, they're a dairy. But when/if you go, please take notice of the little calves who are not more than 2 months old each; chewing on their pens or grabbing for your finger to suckle, the very dirty water they are forced to drink from and their wet, tiny, $hity, pens. It actually shows a very real picture of how dairy farms get their milk. Ugh...I'm sad bc of it. The flies were EVERYWHERE! Literally, even in our car as we left. Gross. Those poor tied up cows! Geesh! There are better pumpkin farms out there. IMO, it's not right to have animals on display at all. It's hard to get past the mistreatment while the owners are trying to sell their dairy, cheese and butter while labeling it all as organic. Fine, but go further and treat the babies right. Long drive, pumpkins not cheap and yeh, mediocre at best. Oops, here's something positive....the corn maze and corn beds are fun! That's it. Won't be back...!!! read more

So. Much. Fun. I came here with my family last year and we ate, picked potatoes, cut our own pumpkins off the vine, pet farm animals, ran through a corn maze, and more. The GREAT Peter Pumpkin Patch is a great name because it sure was great. There were lots of children and adults alike having a blast. read more

The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Petaluma, California

I came here the weekend before Halloween with my little brother (I say "little" but he's 22) and my best friend. As three adults, I think we had way too much fun! We took a free hayride out to the potato patch and back. You can dig your own potatoes here, which seems like something kids would absolutely LOVE. There's a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo with tons of calves and goats, you can milk a cow and also see donkeys and a bull. They've got some old farm equipment to climb all over and several mini storefront cutouts to take your picture in. You could bring a picnic and sit at the tables set up by the band playing festive fall tunes or they had a little BBQ stall and they also serve ice cream since, after all, the pumpkin patch is on a dairy farm! Our favorite part of the whole thing that we didn't even notice until we were on our way back to the car was the giant corn box! I grew up in Indiana, the corn capitol, and I had never seen anything like this. A giant sandbox but, instead of sand, kids are burying themselves, making angels and wallowing about in CORN KERNELS. We laughed all the way home. The ONLY thing Peter's Pumpkin Patch was missing is apple cider! The closest orchard I could find was two hours away from SF so it would have been great to at least be able to buy some cider to enjoy while you soak in the fall festivities. read more

The corn pits are definitely the star of this pumpkin patch. This is our second year at this patch and our toddler LOVES it. He also loves the hay maze and climbing the pyramids of hay. The woman who showed the children how to milk a cow was sweet and patient. They had live music, which was charming for me and the husband. After learning from our experience last year, we brought a picnic and a blanket to sit on while our son went crazy in the corn pit next to us. Pumpkin prices are so reasonable, and the corn pits and hay maze are free. Also, not crazy busy on a October Saturday, which is unbelievable. Only downside is that it's only the first weekend of October, and they have run out of white pumpkins and gourds. Also, when we were there 10.3, there was no longer any potato digging. read more

I took my two granddaughters to the pumpkin patch. We had a good time and spent more time there than I thought we would. I appreciated that all the activities (besides the pumpkins and the potatoes you dig up) are offered for free! I didn't have to say no to anything they wanted to do because of the cost. It made for an enjoyable afternoon. We did the hay maze, took a hay ride, the girls played in the corn box, we climbed on the stack of hay and we visited the baby cows. We picked 3 small pumpkins from the field and the girls dug up about a dozen potatoes. And we enjoyed the yummy ice cream - the pumpkin is really good! read more

We were super last minute to pick up a pumpkin, so they were fairly picked through. It was also raining heavily, so there was very little outdoor activity for good reason. That said the kids had a great time. They pet some baby cows, goats and some other animals I could not quite identify. We picked out a couple small decorative pumpkins - and the very friendly lady just gave them to us with a "Happy Halloween, come see us next year". I will. read more

I was disappointed in their scant selection of pumpkins- not sure if it's because Halloween is only 3 days away, but I had thought this would be prime time. Great place for little kids. Lots of adorable farm animals, there is a hay bale maze and other fun activities. read more

Went here on a Saturday morning in mid-October after being disappointed at another nearby pumpkin patch. The road here was very clear, with signs marking the way. Entryway was wide, and parking was ample. And there was a ton of fun stuff to do here, with clear signs advertising what there was to see (Giant pyramid haystacks! Haystacks tall enough to even obscure the view for adults! Cardboard cutouts of saloons and jails for photo ops! Live band playing the Spongebob song! Cheese sampling! Tractor ride! HUGE pumpkin field!). There were also plenty of portapotties and hand washing stations. However, the best part had to be...potato digging. Yep. We each got a pitchfork and dug up Peruvian purples, Yukon golds, German butterballs, the works. (Warning: If you're going to dig potatoes, make sure to wear shoes that you don't care about. The sand WILL dye your shoes a new kind of desert tan.) Only $2 a pound for the feeling of satisfaction you get after hitting a jackpot row of potatoes. Fun, lively atmosphere, spacious area, and a ton of stuff to do. read more

A fabulous pumpkin patch at a real, working dairy. If you are interested in pre-sorted pumpkins and bouncy houses, this place is NOT for you. If you are interested in a wide variety of squash and gourds and digging your own potatoes (when available) in a wide open, farm setting, this is definitely your place! This is our second year there, and we will happily make the 1hr drive from Alameda every year. The people are so nice here, they have such a great variety, and they even have home-made pumpkin ice cream! We love it. read more

Today I promised my two year old daughter we would go to pumpkin patch and pick out a pumpkin. This was not the closest option but it seemed like they had a lot to offer and it was a nice drive. Unfortunately, when we got there, it wasn't officially open yet (tomorrow is opening day). The reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because the gentleman that was there, Rich, was so welcoming and offered to let me & my daughter wander around, pick pumpkins & potatoes and explore the area despite the fact that they weren't actually open or ready for business. There were already pumpkin displays and the hay maze set up so there was plenty to please my two year old but we will definitely be back because it's a great pumpkin patch and we both would love to see the animals and hear the music. Thanks Peters Pumpkin patch for making my little girl's day! read more

The best pumpkin patch ever!!! No jumper houses in sight. There's an old fire truck kids can climb into and around. An assortment of animals to pet from baby pigs, goats, calves and a few huge milk cows. Plenty of port-o-poties with sinks and water available. Lots of items for purchase from ice cream (vanilla or pumpkin), butter, and cheese. You can pick your own pumpkin directly off a vine or dig for potatoes. The pumpkin ice cream on itself was well worth the trip!! We took a tractor ride around the pumpkin patch that was free of charge. The route wasn't too bumpy and not too long of a trip. This pumpkin patch encapsulated the true visit up a pumpkin patch for the little ones. We were so far out that there was no cell phone reception. Huge selection of pumpkin varieties such as Cinderella pumpkins in green, orange, white and other odd colors from nature that cannot be found at any supermarket. The set up of the animals, the tractor trip, the band of gentlemen playing fun and light hearted music for families makes the five stars recommendation easy. The staff were incredibly friendly too. read more

We came here with the kids for the pumpkins and farm animals. What we will remember is the millions of flies - they coated every pumpkin, picnic table, and barrel of hay - and the emaciated-looking baby cows that were eager to suck on our fingers - clearly looking for a mama cow's teet. I was not impressed with the Great Peter Pumpkin Patch to say the least. Even more so because as I am writing this, I am batting at a fly that's joined us for our car ride home. read more

I just left here and I am beaming. My fiancé and I picked our pumpkins OFF OF THE VINE and dug potatoes out of the ground and it was such an amazing experience. They also have hay rides, cow milking and a small hay bale maze that we didn't partake in but they looked wonderful. There were assorted fresh pumpkin snacks and food to make for a wonderful trip. We will be back for sure. read more
