There is lots to do and see on the farm.
Book Your Field Trip
Booking is open for Fall 2023 Field Trips!
Our fall farm tours have the advantage of being held at the same time as our fall pumpkin patch season, so the farm is already set up for making fun fall memories.
We begin each tour by gathering your group in our main barn. Groups big and small sit comfortably upon our straw bleachers while one of our knowledgeable guides gives the farm talk. We discuss the different types of pumpkins and produce grown on the farm as well as what it is like to be a farmer and the responsibilities that come along with the job such as taking care of animals and working the fields. This segment of your tour is concluded by sharing the rich history of our farm.
Please call us at 503-645-9561 or email office@plumperpumpkins.com with any questions.
Visit the Animals
On our farm we have many animals: pigs, a llama, alpacas, cows, goats, rabbits, turkeys, chickens, sheep and more! Children love to check out the farm animals and the animals love the attention!
Tour the Farm
Take a scenic hayride though our Christmas trees and into our upper field. The pay off is at the top of hill, when you look down at the full spread of the farm and valley below. Our custom built wood trailer is pulled by one of our tractors and has a real down home farm feel. The trailers are also covered, so you can take refuge from the Oregon rain if needed.
Activities
Play on our mazes and slides. We have 5 tube slides, a rope spider web and 2 different mazes all suitable for children and adults to enjoy! Pick your very own sugar pie pumpkin to take home. Stay longer and play in our fallow field, or in our play structure and tire garden.
Weather
We will conduct your farm tour rain or shine. We will do our best to customize your tour to fit the rapidly changing weather here in Oregon, and we do have many covered areas. The farm talk inside our barn and the hay ride is covered. We also have several covered spaces for your group to gather to eat their snack or lunch.
Our best advice is to make sure that your group is dressed properly. Rain coats, umbrellas and rubber boots are always a good choice when rain threatens!
Food
Have lunch or a snack in one of our picnic areas. Apple cider and kettle corn are great options for a snack here on the farm, bring your own smaller containers to split up the large containers we sell.
Treat your group to a colorful harvest experience!

School Buses
Sometimes school buses coming from the south prefer to avoid the sharp curves of Old Cornelius Pass Road below the farm.
An alternate route is to take Cornelius Pass Road to the top of the hill at Skyline Boulevard, turning left/west. Then turn left/south at the quick stop sign and then turn right into the driveway a quarter mile from the last turn.
