Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in California.

  • Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Let me just say this place is absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for. There is alot of signage so you can't miss it along with ample parking. If your like me and are disabled I will say it is very handicap and stroller friendly. It's still a little rocky but I do have a sport wheelchair so it's a little easier to move around with. The customer service was very friendly and helpful staff made our experience here more enjoyable. If your looking for a good ol country style pumpkin patch I will say this little place exceeded my expectations. I loved all of the beautiful decorations and photo ops. For the little ones grab a wagon and load it up with beautiful pumpkins or explore the many farm animals they had out. My favorite part here was the pumpkin patch. I felt like the peanuts gang waiting for the Great Pumpkin . If your brave and up for a challenge I recommend taking a chance at exploring their corn maze. Before leaving definitely visit the little shop to purchase pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and Indian corn. They offer a very large and beautiful selection. I loved spending time here and look forward to returning soon.”

“I grew up coming to this pumpkin patch with my family, and went back for the first time as an adult a couple weekends ago. There’s a great selection of pumpkins, both pre-picked in the main barn, and out in the fields. It’s super fun to make the jaunt all the way to the back and pick your own little mini-pumpkins and gourds. Petting zoo, corn maze, corn cannon, etc, if you like those activities. Random, but there’s a goat maze, and it’s pretty entertaining to look at for a while.”

“We had a great time at their pumpkin patch festivities! This place is so cute. So many great photos op spots, dog friendly, but there were some thorns so be careful where your dog walks!! Free entry which is so great!! Decent prices on the activities to do there. Cute animals to look at, pony rides $5, corn maze $5 per person, corn canyon $1 per shot, lots and lots of pumpkins!! I really love how they also had fun halloween decor and not just all fall or farm themed stuff.”

“Very cute farm. We visited during pumpkin patch season and we loved it. There were lots of fun places to take pictures and the pumpkins were fairly priced, with a great variety! We enjoyed trying to find our way through the corn maze. We came from San Diego and it was worth the drive. Happy Halloween! 🎃”

“My daughter and I had a blast at the pumpkin patch. The lady helping on the Hayride greeted us with a smile and welcomed everyone with so much grace and with positivity. It wasn't expensive and they had a little of everything you could for the whole family. I can't wait to visit next year.”

“Great pumpkin patch! We went and it wasn’t too busy. They had a pony ride station $5 per kid which was good! My girls loved so much”

“Every year for the last couple of years, we have been visiting different pumpkin patches around town and haven’t repeated. I have learned to stick to a “farm” not “station”. With that said, Mountain View is a farm/ranch and you see the pumpkin growing on the ground attached to the vines. It’s about 25 minutes from Poway heading towards Julian. Entrance would be on the left and it’s all dirt. No real restrooms but yes portable restrooms in the parking lot. This place is free and you pay extra for activities. This place is not as big as Bates or Oma but it does have: -Corn maze $5 -Petting zoo -Hay ride $5 -Corn cannon $1 for 2 -Pony rides $5 -Food truck -Snack bar Lots of photo opportunities. There’s so much to do for the family and kids. I even saw people bringing their dogs. There’s an area with picnic tables that you can bring your own food and just chill. There’s a food truck that sells tacos and hamburgers. Also a snack bar that sells water ($2) and dipping dot ice cream. As well as corn in a cup. It can get really hot inland so bring a hot, put on sun screen, and bring water.”

“It’s a nice fun place to visit with family. They have something for every age group. There are pumpkins to pick, hayrides, farm animals, corn maze, and food and drinks!”
