Fall farm adventures around Tualatin.
Once the calendar turns to late September, the Tualatin Valley's farms unveil pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and harvest fairs. Here is where to plan your family's fall farm days, from Lee Farms around the corner to orchards and patches a short drive away.
In Tualatin, fall is measured in pumpkins. Lee Farms kicks off its Fall Harvest Festival in late September, and across the Tualatin Valley family farms roll out corn mazes, hayrides, and pumpkin patches through October.

Plan Ahead
Make the most of patch season.
Patch seasons are short, so plan ahead: check each farm's website for opening day and hours, arrive early on weekends, dress for mud, and bring a wagon if you have one. Most farms let you pay by card, but it never hurts to have cash on hand for kettle corn and cider doughnuts.

Most Tualatin Valley patches,and corn mazes open in late September, right around the fall equinox. Mark the last weekend of September for the traditional patch-season kickoff.
