Celebrate Halloween with a special family adventure at one of these great local pumpkin patches. These regional farms are open for pumpkin picking and enjoying harvest season.
Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm
Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm hosts their annual Colonial Harvest Days. Along with the pumpkin patch, they also have two spectacular corn mazes — one easy and one more challenging. (Separate tickets are required for the mazes.) Buy your fall decor, the perfect giant pumpkin for carving and enjoy a drink at the Witches Brew.
Hentze Family Farm
Hentze Family Farms near Junction City is a small farm with big dreams. Visit their market for pumpkins and other fall treats and then head over to their cook shack for delicious meals prepared with farm-fresh ingredients. No really, the food is SO good!
Detering Orchards
Detering Orchards is another very popular farm to visit in any season. Enjoy caramel apples, hot apple cider, tamales or hot dogs and a whole array of market goods from fresh produce to canned peaches, asparagus, quail eggs and more. Hunt for the perfect pumpkin in the patch, ride the mechanical bull and feed the goats. Your family will find lots to do here.
Thistledown Farm
Thistledown Farm is one of the area's most well-known farms and great for Halloween preparations. Take a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to pick your own or choose from the delicious and varied produce in the market area. Fall decor is also available.

A&M Family Farms
A&M Family Farms is a great place to find the perfect pumpkin to turn into a jack-o-lantern that'll impress the neighbors while also enjoying their fresh-baked pumpkin treats! While you're there, reserve your Thanksgiving turkey too.
The OG Corner Market
The OG Corner Market is a great place to grab a pumpkin if you want to stay close to town and don't have time for all of the farm fun like hayrides and hot cider. Located on River Road, this little market brings all of the best from our farms right to Eugenians.
Adventure! Children's Museum
So...you also won't be heading to a farm for this one, but you'll be out and about. The Adventure! Children's Museum has a Pumpkin Trail Pumpkin Hunt. Search the display or front windows of local businesses and organizations in the Eugene-Springfield area for large pumpkins featuring a letter. The letters spell out a phrase, which when complete, earns pumpkin hunters a treat bag.
