Update: Closed for 2022. The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma is worth the drive, because like the name tells you, it’s GREAT. Unlike our local patches, this patch is on a real working farm. Real as in you can pet real farm animals, take a hayride, and pick your own pumpkins! It’s good.
Open October 1 from 9 am to 4 pm throughout October.
Almost everything on the farm is FREE: Pick your pumpkins, conquer the hay pyramid, take a hayride around the farm, listen to live music (weekends only), talk to the baby cows, and watch the mama get milked (milking stops at 3 pm).

Tasting ice cream, bringing home pumpkins, and eating BBQ will cost a few dollars.
They have a real pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkin from the vine or stroll through some more perfectly round pumpkins already picked. You’ll find small, medium, large, extra-large, and wheelbarrows for toting. Pumpkins are not free, so be prepared to pay (cash only!).
Be sure to try the homemade pumpkin ice cream, take a picture with the western cutouts, and jam with the live band on the weekends.

The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch is closed for the 2022 season. They did not plant this year due to the drought.
Thank you so much for the heads up! I’ve updated our post to reflect that it is closed for the season. Love that place.
