Plumper Pumpkin Patch

We went and bought a pumpkin for Halloween and there was an older couple there that was SUPER nice and sweet. We got there just as they were closing. They said cash only so we used the ATM they had on site and took money out for a $ 4 fee. We called a few minutes ago because we wanted to get a Christmas tree… we asked if they had coffee we could purchase once we got there. The person on the phone said they had coffee. We asked her if the ATM machine was working (to double check before we drove out there) and she said yes, but that they take debit cards. I told her that was strange because when we went there to get a pumpkin we were told to use the ATM machine; cash only. She said a bit rudely «no we take debit cards. I don’t know who told you that but we take debit cards». When I told her it was an older couple that seemed like they were the owners she rudely said «whatever I’m the owner and we take debit cards». We decided to go up there any way. We got there and went straight in to get a coffee. Waited in line to pay so we could get our cup. When it was our turn the lady behind the counter said «no we don’t have coffee. Cider and hot chocolate only». I said I had just spoken to the owner 5 minutes ago and she said there was coffee… the lady said «sorry no one wanted it so I didn’t make any». We left, went down to get a tree. There were no signs showing which way the doug fir trees, or nobles were; it was super disorganized. We asked someone where the specific trees were and they really didn’t know. For an activity that was supposed to be, THIS DEFINITELY WAS NOT. We won’t go back there again.

Great place! Wonderful people! Very helpful and nice. Very kid friendly. Easy to get to and easy to get around the parking area. We had a great experience. Thank you!

Can I get two thumbs up and ¹⁰⁄₁₀ for Plumper pumpkin patch? This place is absolutely amazing! I’m basically an adult child and look forward to my annual pumpkin patch visit many months ahead of time. Plumpers is by far the nicest pumpkin patch I’ve ever been to. You can tell how much thought and hard work goes into getting the farm ready for the season. There is so much to do, both for children and adults! The employees that work on the farm are incredibly nice and helpful. You can tell how much they effort they put into ensuring every visitor is enjoying their farm experience. I loved going on the hayride and shooting off all the pumpkin and apple cannons! I would spend every day on this farm if I could! I highly suggest everyone checks out Plumpers! You will not regret it! Oh… and if you have kids… they will have a total blast too!

My family was very impressed with the hay ride. Jay was our driver and was very informative /​friendly. Learned a lot! Good job on customer service!

We took four classes of Kindergarten students to this pumpkin patch today, and the farm was very disorganized. No one from the farm met our buses and helped us know where to go, and we had to wait a long time for the hayrides. Unfortunately, the talks given by the farm staff were way over the heads of our young students, and they were not experienced with talking to a large group of young kids. The kids got very antsy, and it was hard to keep things running smoothly. Then, after we had been out in the heat for a long time, there was NOWHERE to get water for the kids to have a drink. The kids were literally crying, and the parent chaperones were complaining about the experience too. It was really stressful. We won’t be going back to Plumper next year. They didn’t seem very interested in our business, or in making it a great field trip experience for the kids.

This pumpkin patch farm is very kids friendly! In fact, it accommodates mostly for kids with fields of obstacles, maze, slides, pet farms, rides, pumpkin farms and much more! Perfect for kid’s birthday parties in outdoor tents. Pumpkins are display beautifully for a great opportunity for photos. The market has a little bit of everything you may expect from a farm, locally made. Prices are reasonable. Give this place a visit!

Went for pumpkins on 10÷11÷15, and boy did they come through. My party was really excited that they could even pick theirs off the vine! (Some are on the vine and some are set out).
Very friendly staff, easy parking, enough wheelbarrows, helpful in speeding along checkout.
Really enjoyed the live music today.
Got some nice pictures.
Weren’t there with kids, so can’t speak to any of that fun!

Came here to get our Christmas tree — it’s $ 35 for any tree (Doug, Grand, Noble) up to 10 feet. Great deal and the staff was friendly and helpful. It wasn’t too busy and they had more of their attractions set up for the following weekend (I always get my tree way too early) but would definitely be back for the close to Portland proximity, friendly staff and value!

I really wanted to like this place and as far as pumpkin selection, hay rides, and some other activities I thought it was great. The things that really bothered me were the condition of some of the animals and the overall husbandry being practiced here in regards to animal care. I grew up on a farm and am a veterinarian so I know a lot about animal care and health and this farm can really do better. One of the goats was very unhealthy looking with obvious diarrhea and poor hair coat. One of the turkeys was limping severely. There were large groups of baby chicks being raised in one small house and while the set up of the pens was nice, there was no clean water and very little food. There was also a lone rabbit housed in the same small building as the chicks and it was in an extremely small wire floored cage with very little bedding, and a lot of its own filth. The horses and ponies did all look healthy though their corrals were riddled with hazards. It really made me sad to see such a poor environment for the animals being shown off to the thousands every day. I know this is a working farm and that the animals are mostly for food, but I’ve been to several other pumpkin patches with animals on display that are in much better condition and kept in much better environments. I hope with some of the money this farm makes this year, it invests in better care for its animals.

This place is great for families with small children. There are pony rides, cannon shooting and the BEST apple cider. They have a small menu, but they make a great pumpkin soup. There are so many activities and the best part is free parking! They don’t charge you just to park your car. The main area is also free, with additional activities for money of course. My family had a pretty great time and I am sad to see some negatives comments. They even have a live band! If you have smaller children, you have a lot of options. Hay rides, play ground, animal watching, and even big slides. We loves it!

Second visit here far less impressive. Maybe the key is to go for a private event in the summer/​off season. Went for a Halloween time visit and really unimpressed with the nickel and diming undertone to everything here, eg: Can’t go look at farm animals unless you pay.

Plumper Pumpkin was my family’s go to place for fall festivities for the last 7 years. From unique pumpkins with huge stems to real pumpkin chunk ‘in they have it all covered on a real pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, they separated the farm into a free section and a paid section.
I thought that paying $ 25 — $ 30 for pumpkins was enough. Now you fork over some extra cash to see 50% of the farm that use to be free.
Let me know if you take away the fees. Until then we will have find a new patch.

I really want to like this pumpkin patch but everything costs a lot of money. Our pumpkin was reasonably priced but to do any of the fun things it was more than we wanted to pay. Our daughter is still small so she wouldn’t have been able to do most of the bigger amusements anyway so maybe in future years we will try them.

Back in Arizona, real Christmas trees are a gamble. Yes they look nice, but even if you water it a whole lot, the dry air will turn your nice tree into a pile of pine needles in no time. This year we’re in Oregon and since we would’ve probably been thrown out of the state if we’d used our artificial pre-​lit tree, we decided to go the traditional route. My husband had been told about this place. Wanting to give our timber-​deprived kids a whole experience, we headed over to Plumper Farm. After I took the obligatory stick-​your-​face-​in-​here pictures (You know those wooden boards with face cut-​outs), we headed over to take a look at the pre-​cut trees. They have trees with different color ribbons, each representing a different price. (I think they started at $ 40). We opted for the cut-​your-​own option. There’s a little farm store. Outside of the store there are tables with a basket of saws, and some other things for sale (wreaths, tree stands, etc.). We grabbed our saw and trekked up the path to the trees. Our kids had fun choosing the tree, running around making sure to pick out the perfect one. Once our tree was chosen, my husband cut it down, my son «helped» while my daughter and I supervised. Some of the farm owners go back and forth with small tractors helping people carry their tree down to the shaking/​baling station. My husband channeled his inner lumberjack and just carried it down the path himself. For an extra $ 5, you get your tree shaken and baled, all packed up and ready to go home. We went into the little store to pay and also browse at the things they sell in there (cider, fudge, candy and all sorts of Christmassy knick-​knacks). My kids chose a cinnamon stick and headed over to the long tube slide and to see the animals (which at this time isn’t an extra fee). Overall, I loved that we came here! It was a complete experience for tree newbies such as my family and me. The staff was helpful and very nice. This was a great start to our very first Oregon holiday season!

This was awesome. It was more like an amusement park than a pumpkin patch. There was a lot for older kids. Not as much for younger kids. They had a playground but just not too much for kids in their early years.
Tons of fun though!

We found this place after visiting Roloff Farms. Pumpkins were a penny a pound cheaper here than Roloff’s Farm, but everything else was either the same price or higher than Roloff’s actually. The pony rides were $ 6 here, Roloff’s they were $ 5. The carmel corn was higher here too. The adventure pass was $ 10 with the farm visit and adevnture play area. The gift shop, pumpkin patch, and garden were all free. They had a snake squash that actually looked like a snake. They also sold huge pumpkins here from$ 50-​$ 200. These were the heavy hitter pumpkins, And fun to see. They still had quite the variety of pumpkins. They also had pumpkin cannons that would shoot far off up into the hill. There is also a corn husk and cob tee pee that is free to check out. They have painted hay bales and painted wooden cutouts to take pictures with. They are on a hill in the valley which made it look gorgeous, especially with all the autumn and fall colors. The views and landscapes were much prettier than Roloff Farms. They have a country farm house that looks like it should be in a home and garden magazine. I would suggest going here and Roloff’s for family fun. I would only pay for one attraction though so you’d have to choose which place you’d rather invest money in… or you could be like me — a budget person, and go to both places and just spend your money on a pumpkin or two. I am glad I went after seeing Roloff Farms, but I probably won’t be back for awhile.

We went to the Plumper Pumpkin Patch yesterday. With all the awesome farms around that offer free play areas and animal viewing, there is no reason to pay the high prices at this place: $ 40 for 2 adults 3 kids to go on a couple of slides, a hayride and launch 2 pumpkins each. $ 30 more for almost inedible food (they have tiny Bratwurst and soggy corn dogs) and $ 30 more for 5 pumpkins. Throw in the bazillion yellow jackets that freak out the kids, and we were very disappointed. Go to Sauvie Island Farms or Kruger Farms for a much nicer, more affordable time.

We wanted to try a new place for our Family Pumpkin Patch adventure this year, we are down to 4 adults. We tried Plumper because we heard they were less commercial and less busy than some of the other farms in the area. Boy was I mis-​informed.
It is a commercial paradise complete with pony rides, live band, pumpkin launchers, a petting zoo (half of the farm is on the other side of the fence) and we were told it was $ 5.00 extra per person to access all the fun stuff. It did not say anything about that online, that we saw at least.
I imagine if you have kids, they would enjoy it, but you will walk out with a substantially emptier wallet. We spent well over $ 25.00 on three pumpkins.
They are not very friendly for folks with mobility issues and only have porta potties which are not very well taken care of.
It was OK, just not for me, we will try again next year at someplace less commercialized.

This pumpkin patch is great, and, like all pumpkin patches, it comes at a price.
$ 10 a person for an «adventure pass» that gets you into the play areas, farm animal viewing areas, and unlimited rides on the hayride and barrel train. That in itself is on the reasonable side, but if someone wants a ride on the ponies, it is another $ 6. It costs $ 1 to chuck a pumpkin with a slingshot, and then $ 2 for each use of the pumpkin cannon. There is also face painting available that ranged from $ 5-​$ 20(!) per your option.
Honestly, there is a ton of stuff you can do with just the adventure pass. Kids can run around an play for hours in the play areas. There is even a regular playground structure on the site.
I understand the usual point of going to the pumpkin patch is to pick out pumpkins, but you can get less expensive pumpkins at the grocery store. So, I would recommend either picking out one pumpkin from the patch and getting the rest at a different place, or foregoing the pumpkin picking all-​together. Just come to the patch for the activities!
I’ve come to this location the last 2 Octobers, and we have really enjoyed it. We have lucked out with nice sunny days, and I’m not sure it would be as fun on a wet day.

Plumper’s is an adorable little farm located in Northwest Portland not too far from our house in Bethany. We used to go to Sauvie Island for Halloween stuff, but now we get to go close to home. Plumper’s has all the pumpkins you need– you can get them in their heaps or go find them in the field yourself. They have hayrides, kettlecorn, food, baked goods, decorations, and at Christmas they have trees. It’s a sweet little place. My kid especially likes their playground area. I do hear tell that they do birthday parties, too, BTW. Oh, and they also have a barrel train, pony rides, and a giant pumpkin flinger… can’t remember what you call that, not a slingshot… Alzheimer’s setting in. Huh.
Well, what I do remember is that we all like it! It’s a great place to go get muddy and get your squash on.
