Carleton Farm Produce

Went here today to check it out at a recommendation of a friend. Quiet Sunday morning with not many people so that was nice. Walked in looking for produce for the week and walked out with plums. Not much produce at all. More canned goods, pickles, jellies, hot sauces type items. Very expensive prices compared to other farmers markets or farm stands. Don’t think we will go back.

I hate to admit this, but I sometimes drive all the way from Camano Island to Carleton Farms just to get an apple cider slushy. Pathetic, I know, but they’re so good. Just did it last week and as I was coming around the corner into the produce store, I saw the Slushy machine with some florescent colors beaming out of it and I panicked. Luckily it was an additional new machine that they added and the good one with the cider is on the other side. Cannot figure out why they added the other one.

We were about 20 minutes away & never knew this farm existed until we just entered it in our GPS. Staff was nice and we felt a little lost going in, which kind help keep an «adventure» feel. We did the corn maze and that was fun, even though my four year old kept saying we were never getting our of there alive. The kid corral is worth it. Super fun and there’s a mini zip line for the young ones. No harness, just sit and hold on, so you gotta keep an eye on them. The kidz farm was crazy with kids getting in all the corn pit and hay pit. The pumpkin cannon ball was excellent. $ 3.00 and worth it when you can pick the pumpkin and push the lever. We also went crazy on the pumpkin donuts. Fresh hot, and so yummy. Great experience for the kids and I. Lots of photo op. When the kids get older we plan to do the zombie swamp. Four stars only because we didn’t get to do all the activities.

Love the pumpkin patch and fall attractions at Carleton! The nighttime haunts are SCARY and there’s plenty of daytime fun for all ages! They even screen the Seahawks games! Don’t miss the pumpkin cannon! Holy cow it shoots like 1000 ft into the air and almost a half mile!

My fiancé and I just went to the Halloween experience here last night after coming from the Thomas Farm Halloween. This place is so much better! First off everyone, including the owner who came and talked with us, we’re super friendly. Not only is it super bitch black dark in the mazes (we did the swamp one) which really adds to the scariness, but the trail is pretty long and all the actors were very good and into their roles. The sets were done well and we even got lost because it’s so dark! As a pretty big guy I never really get scared at haunted houses but I must say I was startled 4 – 5 times. What’s also great is that they really space you out from other people so you don’t hear anyone in front of you or behind you. The zombie paintball was also much much better than the Thomas farm one. They give you way more paintballs to shoot and the tractor bed you sit on doesn’t have that ridiculous glass shield that Thomas farms has. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend it. We’re still talking about how cool it was today and it’s a memory we’ll never forget. We will definitely be back next year! Thank you so much to the entire staff for doing Halloween right!

Every year I am search for the best farm for all my pumpkin needs and this place is it! Not only was all of their pumpkins big, round, and beautiful but there was so much more! From corn mazes to hay rides, haunted attractions to zip lines, and a pumpkin cannon, this place is a great way to spend an October day.
With friendly and helpful staff starting from the parking lot to the concession stand, I would highly recommend this place to everyone and anyone. I will definitely be back very soon!
p.s the cider slush is amazing!

I would give the farm 4 stars and the events management 2 stars so averaging it out at 3.
I have come here with my kids for the last 5 years and held my son’s birthday parties here. I could go into a lot of details but not sure if they will be helpful so I would just say that the parties end up being not that affordable because there is serious nickle and diming going on. The event staff is very variable but mostly rude, we got yelled at for asking to use electricity to warm up some hot cocoa for the kids one year (when we had paid to rent the facility… we were told electricity wasn’t part of the deal and we had to buy hot drinks separately if we wanted hot drinks!!) Just generally not big on hospitality which I think would be fine if it were a cheaper venue but for the price I would expect more professionalism.
The pumpkin cannon is fun and the farm tends to not be as overcrowded as some pumpkin patches. Some of the farm hand helper people are really sweet and nice.

One of my favorite things about the approach of Halloween are corn mazes and pumpkin patches. I’m so thankful I have kids to drag along with me to these things!
We didn’t explore the pumpkin patch here as we had already hunted and found our perfect pumpkins elsewhere. We did however tackle the corn maze. So fun!
Three games in one maze. Seahawk trivia, a clue style who-​dunnit game and a young kids version. My family had so much fun finding the clues and making guesses about who had farmer joe that we didn’t notice how lost we got.
One thing though. Spoilers are no fun for anyone and they were abundant. I get it. Kids get excited when they figure out but perhaps mom and dad or even better corn maze staff could remind them that not everyone has figured it out yet? I swear I had to cover my ears when some tween wanted to tell me who did it. Yes, I did say LaLaLa really loudly while he blabbed on and on. Sigh.
But aside from that, we all had such a good time that even *that* guy couldn’t spoil it.

Great pumpkin patch with activities for the whole family to enjoy together.
I’ve been here twice during the fall. Both times, they were busy but parking attendants made it easy to find parking and it’s free.
You walk out into the pumpkin patch or take a free hayride down to the pumpkins to pick out your shiny squash. Or, you can be lazy and mosey over to the large selection of harvested pumpkins in a variety of colors besides orange and different sizes, along with gourds and squash galore, located in bins by the store. They have scrubbing areas to get the mud and junk off your pumpkin if you pick it fresh out of the patch.
The main event for me is the pumpkin cannon. Pay $ 1-​$ 3, based on the size of pumpkin you pick out, stick it in the cannon, and watch it get shot out over the farm then smash to bits if it doesn’t explode in midair.
They have a corn maze. I haven’t been through it yet, but it looks really fun. I plan on going through this year.
There’s a section to see the farm animals, a general store with produce, honey, and locally grown items, and a snack stand with hot dogs and the like. The picnic area is covered and has several picnic tables and benches.
There are various locations set up around the farm for photos such as wooden stands that you stick your head through, next to mannequins and farm scenes, and in front of murals.
I will be back!

We had our wedding here on the 26^th of July and it was amazing. People there are very helpful and the venue is amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing for our most amazing day. A great big thank you to the Carleton family for having an amazing venue!

fun for the kids!

Disappointing for sure. Roped off kids area (a few slides) and the cost is $ 5/​child. Long lines to check out with confusing cashiers walking the lines and asking the same questions as the window cashiers. Produce is blah, expensive prices for pickled goods. The tractor ride is about 100 feet. Not worth the time. There are way better farms out there.

Small selection of produce, grass fed beef (frozen), and organic raw milk for $ 6/​half gallon. Large selection of pickled veggies, and local jams and raw honey. Looking forward to trying the «candied» jalapenos and cherry butter I bought there.

Went there for daytime corn maze yesterday and it was a lot of fun, got lost many times. More challenge if you find every sign (animals) before you find your way out, very beautiful corn field!
A lot of pumpkins to choose on the field as well just next to the maze. The staff there is very friendly.
Would go back for the maze and more.

We’ve been coming here for eight years now, and it’s finally jumped the shark. It used to be a great place to get pumpkins out in the field and we really enjoyed it. Bit by bit they started adding on charges and increasing prices until now almost everything has a fee. The last straw was today when the kids wanted to go down the slides they have set up near the pumpkin field. We now find that they are roped off with a sign saying «wristband area» with a sign pointing to where you have to pay. For $ 5 per kid you get a couple of slides, a zipline like you’d find at any playground, and some bales of hay. I unfortunately had to tell my kids, «no, we aren’t going on the slides this year.» Disappointing and we won’t be back.

A great place to go for a relaxing Sunday with the family. There are farm animals, hayrides, a huge pumpkin patch, a pumpkin cannon, corn maze, and produce store. The corn maze here has a fun facts that make up a mystery phrase. This makes it fun while in the maze cause you are finding clues. I recommend wearing shoes that you can get muddy. The produce from the farm is amazing. I recommend the apple cider and the wines! They also have really yummy corn! This is such a great place to visit to get you feeling in the holiday mood. I haven’t felt that way since I was a little girl but this place has made the holidays feel like they use to.

Keep in mind this is ONLY a review of the haunted corn maze via Groupon deal we bought for October 8^th. With over 1,100 deals sold we were expecting lines but a 2 hour wait… I never could have imagined!
We arrived at 8pm and finally reached the maze around 10pm. I honestly thought I would be scared since there was so much hype around everything and also because I am an easy scare but nope, not a chance! It also only lasted 10 minutes which was probably the biggest disappointment.
Another downer was the fact that people who had purchased the Groupons weren’t let in first… we had to wait in the same line as the others who hadn’t yet purchased their tickets. I had figured the people with Groupon tickets would go first but maybe that was just naïve of me to think that way. Also, they had two people… only TWO helping over 1500 people throughout the 4 hour period the house was open. Not cool but such as life. We will know if ever in this situation again.
Last year we went and enjoyed an afternoon at their pumpkin patch and it was a VERY enjoyable experience. Between the hay rides, petting zoo for the little ones & food & snack offerings everyone was super friendly, helpful and it was a great day spent with the family. I would HIGHLY recommend that portion of their farm.

AWESOME!!!
What a great experience! We went here expecting to just get pumpkins… we ended up getting food, corn maze, and tons of pumpkins!
Everything is super cheap!
The corn maze is very fun– We got lost for hours!
The pumpkin patch is filled with a good amount of pumpkins to chose from.
The snack bar is awesome! Must get an apple cider slushy! And people were so friendly!
Downside was that there were a ton of bee’s all over the place the day we went and I wish they had more options in pumpkin types and produce!
I definitely want to make this an every year type of thing!

The pumpkin patch here is so cute — I had no idea they had these in Washington State! They have hayrides, little trains for children, a huge pumpkin patch, a little store with canned goods and produce, and TONS AND TONS of pumpkins for an exceptional price!
We walked around the fields for quite some time trying to find the perfect pumpkin… and ended up with 6! That’s what happens when you go with a husband who is 12. After trying to find a good one and a husband throwing a hissy fit in the middle of the pumpkin patch that he wanted all of them, I assuaged my husband by leaving with all of them. Remind me never to have kids. It’s a good thing that he didn’t see the apple cider slushies in the store or I’m sure we would have bought them, too.
I was not super pumped to spend a fortune on pumpkins that we would carve the next day and then have die in a week but luckily for 3 large pumpkins and 3 small, it ended up only being $ 20. Whew.
Parents and women with 12 year old husbands, this place is for you.

This is a truly outstanding local farm, located up in Everett. Check out the website for more details on what you can get there and when… but I have to recommend with 100% of my Unilocal-​review-​ability…
1) GO GET YOUR PUMPKINS THERE IN OCTOBER. You’ll wander through endless and magical fields of pumpkins, from which it is near impossible to select just one, each pumpkin more perfect than the next. Allow yourself some time to wander, and bring a wheelbarrow and clippers.
2) THEY HAVE A CORN MAZE. Yes, it seems like it’s for kids, but this corn maze is truly great fun for everyone and really brings the feeling of fall right into your heart.
3) PUMPKIN PIE ICE CREAM. Need I say more?
4) FANTASTIC PRODUCE, including a pick-​your-​own berry farm earlier in the year, cut-​you-​own flowers, and a wonderful indoor market with excellent canned goods and more.
I want to go right now.
