Thistledown Pumpkin Patch - Junction City

Come to the Market and choose the perfect pumpkin, minis, gourds, cornstalks and corn from our heaps of fresh, home-grown beauties. These are available anytime the Market is open (9-5 every day) from now through Nov. 2. In the Market, pumpkins are 45 cents cents/pound and mini pumpkins and gourds are $1.29 each.

Yes! We have our famous Apple Cider Donuts on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am until they sell out.

We also have mums and other fall nursery plants! Keep those pots looking cheery into the winter!

Looking for a family-friendly excursion? Join us for a tractor-drawn or horse-drawn wagon ride to and from the pumpkin patch. Tractor-drawn rides start on Oct. 4 and run only on Fridays. Our cowboys arrive for the horse-drawn wagon rides on Oct. 5 and rides are on Saturdays and Sundays. Rides are available from 9am until the last group leaves at 4:30pm. Reservations are NOT required! $5/person. Don’t want to pay for a ride? We have pre picked pumpkins available at the farm stand.

NO DROP IN RIDES Monday-Thursday. Those are reserved for school groups.

Yes! We'll be having our popular end-of-season sale on Nov. 1 and 2 from 9am-5pm. You'll find deep discounts on most items -- just about everything we can pick! This includes apples, cabbage, squash, gourds -- while they last. Mark your calendar.

The stand is closed for the season on Nov. 3 until spring -- typically mid-April.

Please note these important items:
* For health and safety reasons, no dogs are allowed at the farm (in your vehicle is fine as long as temperatures are safe).
** The pumpkin patch is accessible only by wagon ride only. No foot traffic. This is for everyone’s safety!
*** If rainy conditions create slippery conditions we do not offer wagon rides and foot traffic is not permitted in this situation either. If you’d like to check on conditions, please check our Facebook page. If we are unable to offer rides that day, we will post it there. Please understand there may be a delay between a deluge and when we post. We always do our best to keep rides going, but if it is unsafe we reserve the right to make a decision in the moment.
