Welcome to The Pumpkin Patch at Farmstad!

Yikes! We sold out of pumpkins!

Hope to see you next year!

Good news! Langley Fine Gardens has a lovely Pumpkin Patch on the south end of Vashon (Maury Island). Worth the trip south!

Our opening day at the Pumpkin Patch was a blast!  We met new neighbors Sam and Amy, who just moved in last Wednesday, and welcomed old timers, too. We had babies marveling at the big orange balls and youngsters lining up for a thrill on the excavator swing, “This is great!”.  ….and little white pumpkins left as works of art. Farmer Doug kept busy driving the tractor hay ride around the farm, with the highlight stopping at our 2 KuneKune pigs and feeding them bits of apples folks had picked from our apple trees. About half of our pumpkins have gone home with you all and we love seeing them popping up on your porches!

If you haven’t had a chance to come by yet, we hope you can make it this weekend! This may be our last weekend…too soon! We’ll have to plant more next year…. We’re psyched to see you and share our Pumpkin Patch Wonderland! 

Pumpkins! All organic: Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkins, Cinderella Pumpkins, White Pumpkins, Yellow Pumpkins, Green Eggs and Ham Pumpkins, Baby-Boo Pumpkins.  Do you know that all pumpkins are edible, are very nutritious, and most are delicious! And if you haven’t carved it, it gets sweeter as it ages..months!  If you’ve carved yours, consider giving them to a farmer with livestock, they’ll be very grateful.

Bakery Treats! We’re hoping to have brownies this weekend (October 3/4)!

Ice Cold Lemonade and Apple Cider!

Hay Rides! Farmer Doug will be on his antique Ferguson (tractor!), hauling people around the farm, pulling apples off of 100-year-old trees, cutting sample slices for all, and sharing interesting bits of Farmstad’s 100-year-PLUS history. And a visit to the pigs!

Pumpkin Painting! We’ve prepped our Baby Boos (mini whites) for painting with a colorful variety of acrylic paints. We have everything set up for you and your kids to paint your mini-pumpkin masterpiece.

Excavator Swing! You take the excavator to the top of the hill, tie a big long farm rope to the bucket and lift it high up in the air. You thread a little round wooden seat on the business end and there you have it. Kids love it and frankly, it makes us all feel like kids again. It’s fun to watch, too!

Since you asked…..

Is it free?  Yes, and....!  Free to come into the farm, peruse the pumpkin patch and our working farm gardens, swing on the excavator swing, paint mini pumpkins, enjoy a hay ride and feed the pigs! Our pumpkins are for sale, as well as our bakery treats, cider and lemonade. We want you to enjoy the farm, your neighbors & the activities without having to pay at every turn! We love to see you smile.

Parking: There's plenty of parking in our field. You'll see parking signs directing you along the way.

Dogs: You know we love your dogs! If your pup is friendly and on a leash, bring ‘em along.

Accessibility:  Our pumpkin patch is at the top of a gentle slope about 50 yards long, through a roughly mowed hay field. If you would like assistance, please call 206-653-4264 and we'll arrange to pick you up in our farm golf cart. 

Bathrooms: Yes! We have a bathroom for you!

Picnicking? Yes! Bring a picnic! We have a huge field next to the Pumpkin Patch. Enjoy the beautiful afternoon, let the kid run around, breathe in the sweet scenes around you…
