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.

“Went on the last weekend of October! My purpose was to see the sunflowers, and they delivered! I don't know how they still have some blooming, but the ones that were left were beautiful. Lots of bees and animals flying around, as expected. They have a batch of small sunflowers for small kids/ pets to get their photo op which is super cute. They have a "U-Pick:" 2$ for each sunflower picked & they provided the shears. There is plenty of parking within the lot. Admission + parking are free. The pumpkins patch was cute and small, most of them were 8$ but they weren't really big and like I said we went the 29th so I can imagine all the bigger, nicer ones were long gone. They had other activities, but I didn't try them out. I saw many people with their pets too, but it is a little crowded and there are a lot of kids running around so make sure your dog is comfortable with all the commotion for everyone's safety. Overall, it's a gem!”

“The Pumpkin Station is a great spot for a family outing! I love that there’s no admission fee, and they offer a wide variety of pumpkins in different sizes and price ranges. For an additional fee, you can enjoy activities like a hay ride, goat petting, a corn maze, and sunflower picking. There is a food truck on-site, and on a hot October day, we especially appreciated the shaved ice bar. The only downside is that the only restrooms are port-o-potties. Overall, it’s a fun and family-friendly experience—highly recommend!”

“It is that time of year, get out & take a hayride, small train for kids, corn maze for teens, lots of pumpkins & pick & cut your own sunflowers. Lots of free parking & admission is free but each event is $5 per person.”

“Super cute place for photo ops and pumpkin picking! My son loved the train and the hay ride. I didn't get a chance to pick any sunflowers cause my son was too occupied with running around. Definitely need to come back!”

“Pleasant mini-farm to take the family during pumpkin season. It isn't overwhelming or crowded, like some of the bigger farms nearby. Pumpkins are good quality/variety, and they have some fun activities, including free and paid options. The corn maze is this customer's family favorite. Prices for pumpkins are reasonable. Location is right off the freeway, so it it is convenient to get to as well.”

“Perfect place to take fall pictures, they have a little area in the front to do this. nephew ( age 5 ) had a lot of fun with his friend running around the pumpkin patch, they esp enjoyed the corn maze. ( was perfect for their age ). The pumpkin patch and sunflower field was very small, this place is perfect if you don’t want to become overwhelmed in a crowd and get these activities done in a very fast manner. the pumpkins in the field were also very tiny and looked as if they were placed there. there was not a variety of different sized pumpkins in the field. the hayride was kind of basic & short didn’t do much but go down the road and turn around back to the farm, and the petting zoo only had a few goats and 1 sheep.”
