Fall and pumpkins go hand in hand. There’s something so festive about massive pumpkins and how they emerge in perfect roundness from the earth. If you’re searching for where to find pumpkin patches around Bellingham, treat yourself to a visit to one of the local farms that stretch from Ferndale and Lynden to Everson.
Here are suggestions for where to go when hunting for pumpkins in Bellingham and Whatcom County!
Bellewood Farms is famous for its apples, but it also has a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and an Apple Bin Express train ride every fall!
Hop aboard the train and fill a bag of ripe apples. After that, head back toward the barn where you can stop by the corn maze, u-pick pumpkin patch, or the cafe for some fresh apple cider donuts and a slice of apple pie.
Travel Tip: Bellewood has grown-up fun too! Their distillery features “farm-to-table” spirits including brandy, vodka, and gin. Enjoy unique flavors like their Honeycrisp Vodka or Pumpkin Spice Liqueur.
Dan Cramer's Western Town in Lynden has been offering a fall pumpkin experience for more than a decade. If you’re a pumpkin aficionado, you’ll enjoy the 30 different varieties on Cramer’s farm. The farm also offers extra fun, like draft horse rides to the pumpkin patch, a hay maze, tractor train rides, and more.
“We have lots of farm animals for the kids to look at - ducklings, baby rabbits, a baby donkey, a couple of turkeys, calves, goats, and sheep," says Dan Cramer.
This is the place for picturesque photo ops with gorgeous views of Mount Baker on clear days. If you have preschoolers, consider coming on a Friday when Cramer offers tours tailored to the Li'l crowds with instructions on how to grow pumpkins.
Located in beautiful Whatcom County, just 13 miles north of Bellingham and two miles west of Interstate 5, Home Farm U-Pick offers a pumpkin patch and so much more!
