Book Your Spring Field Trip

We are excited to welcome you to the farm for our 2025 spring field trips! We will be offering field trips every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from April 30th through June 6th.

Please review the information on this page carefully.

Please contact us at 503-645-9561, or office@plumperpumpkins.com with any questions!

  1. Buses and cars may park in the gravel parking lot.
  2. One of our farmers will greet you at the entrance below the farm store, near the greenhouses.
  3. We will collect payment in the farm store. Then, one of our farmers will direct you to the first field trip rotation.
  4. After the guided portions of the field trip, you are free to rotate through the rest of the rotations, and enjoy exploring the farm!
 

Hayrides (guided): Enjoy a scenic ride through our fields while our guides share fun and educational farm facts.

Pumpkin Planting (guided): Learn how pumpkins grow from seed to harvest and even plant your very own pumpkin in our fields!

Apple Station (self-guided): Learn about the life cycle of an apple while observing our apple orchard! 

Spookley Story Walk (self-guided): Follow a trail of signs to read Spookley the Square Pumpkin by Joe Troiano and discover lessons on acceptance and embracing differences.

Animals (self-guided): Meet our friendly cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and more while learning fun animal facts.

Activity Fields (self-guided): Burn energy in the ball zone, enjoy slides, and explore play areas for a mix of fun and learning.

Reservation Fee: This year, we're implementing a reservation fee ($20) due to excessive no-shows and late cancellations, which have limited availability for other groups. This ensures spots are secured and help us provide a great experience for everyone. If you must cancel your reservation, deposits are refundable up to seven days before your reservation date. 

Pricing: $11/person. This includes parents, siblings, and additional teachers/staff/volunteers. One teacher per class is free. Children under 2yo are free.

Payment: Full admission payment is collected upon arrival to the farm. We suggest designating one person in your group to collect payment beforehand to ensure the check-in process runs smoothly. If payment must be done over the phone or invoice, please contact office@plumperpumpkins.com to coordinate. We do not automatically send invoices, they must be requested over email.

  • We have a minimum group size of 15, and no maximum group size. These numbers include students, adults, and teachers.
  • You are welcome to have your group eat lunch/snack while at the farm. We have limited covered eating areas and picnic tables that are available on a first come first serve basis.
  • Our spring field trips are estimated to be 1.5-2 hours long. This depends on how much time your group chooses to spend at each station and if your group has lunch/snack at the farm.
  • We will hold our field trips rain or shine, so please communicate to families that students will need to be wearing appropriate clothing to be outside in any weather.

Educational

Animal Farm - Plumper Pumpkin Patch & Tree Farm

Animals

On our farm we have many animals: pigs, alpacas, cows, goats, rabbits, turkeys, chickens, sheep and more! Children love to check out the farm animals and the animals love the attention!

Plumper Pumpkins

Planting

Bring your group to the farm in the spring to help plant pumpkins. Your group gets to go out into the field with a farmer and plant a row of pumpkin seeds while learning about how pumpkins grow!

Plumper Farmers

The Farm

See how real farmers work! We enjoy sharing the diversity of the farm ecosystem with pre-school and elementary school children in our spring farm tours. We think it is important for the children to connect back with the land and gain some basic knowledge of the natural world.
