This page provides a detailed list of Southwestern areas's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!!   Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands.  All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from.  To really make it fun for  your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride.  There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the  more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

A visitor writes: "Lone Pine has an enormous corn maze that can be challenging for adults and kids alike. The corn maze can be done both day and night, haunted and not. It is especially fun at night. Be sure to arrive early because there is always a long (but quick) line. Cost used to be approximately $10 per person, but I am not sure if that is still the case. There is lots of supervision outside the maze, but I recommend children going in large groups or with adult supervision. Bring a flash light or buy one on site. They have a great grocery store with lots of local produce from Polk County and all over Oregon. The goat house is also neat for kids. This is a great place for local and seasonal produce. There are also a number of local farms on the same road for stopping along the way. This is on location that I miss now that we have moved out of county. "
