Located north of Albany, Bowman Orchards’ dog-friendly pumpkin patch is great for the whole family.

On these weekends, Bowman Orchards offers a whole host of fall-themed activities from tasty treats like their fan-favorite homemade cider slushies to hayrides and a corn maze. Leashed pups are welcome to tag along with you nearly everywhere on the farm, apart from the farm store and u-pick berry fields. The farm even has pet waste stations for your convenience.

Graff 7A Ranch, Texas

Image
Graff 7A Ranch

Address: 911 US Hwy 90 East, Hondo, TX 78861

Season: October 1 to October 30

Cost: Starting at $1 per pumpkin; cost varies depending on weight and variety; general admission tickets ($10-$18.50) are also required to access the pumpkin patch

The Graff 7A Ranch’s motto is that you should make memories worth repeating—and this family farm thinks your dog should be included in the fun. Located outside of San Antonio, the cattle ranch dates back to the 1840s and houses a pet-friendly pumpkin patch with varieties you can cook with, paint or carve into a perfect jack-o’-lantern. The ranch is also home to the South Texas Maize, a unique outdoor fall event started in 2001. You and your dog can explore the 8-acre corn maze, take a hayride and check out the photo props for a pupperly fantastic Instagram pic. The maze is divided into two parts, each of which takes approximately 15-30 minutes to walk through—a great bonus for dogs who live for walks.

Pumpkin Towne Pumpkin Patches, Florida

Image
Pumpkin Towne

Address: 14 N. Old Dixie Hwy. (U.S. 1), Jupiter, FL 33458

Season: October 6 to October 31

Cost: $1-$1.59 per pound, depending on variety

Whether you want a pumpkin for baking, carving or decorating, Pumpkin Towne has got you covered. All three of Pumpkin Towne’s Florida locations—in Jupiter, Stuart and Wellington—welcome pups, but their Jupiter patch has the most room for your pooch to stretch their legs. And while this pumpkin patch doesn’t offer a ton of activities, the cozy atmosphere, stacks of prime pumpkins and great photo ops make it perfect for elder dogs, young pups or small dogs who might feel overwhelmed by too many people or loud fall festival activities. So go ahead and break out your dog’s Halloween costume a little early for a photo shoot here—they’ll clearly be the star of the pumpkin picking show.

Ready to make a new autumn family tradition? Rutledge Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch offers all sorts of pumpkins—big, small, warty and ghostly. You can also buy gourds and corn stalks for festive fall decor. After you’re done hunting through the pumpkin patch, you are also welcome to take your leashed dog into Rutledge’s famous giant corn maze. General admission into the maze costs $11 per person during the day. (No dogs are allowed at night when the maze doubles as a “haunted” attraction.)

Bella Organic Pumpkin Patch and Winery, Oregon

Image
Bella Organic Farm

Address: 16205 NW Gillihan Rd., Portland, OR 97231

Season: September 3 to October 31

Cost: Approximately $1-$15 per pumpkin; price per pumpkin varies based on weight

How’s this for dog-friendly: Bella Organic Pumpkin Patch is named in honor of the owner’s beloved yellow Labrador, Bella. And while your pup is not allowed in the produce fields or inside the farm store, they are welcome to join you in all common areas as well as on the farm’s trails. The farm’s 7-acre corn maze is also dog-friendly during the day. (At night, when the maze turns “haunted,” dogs are not allowed.) The seven-acre corn maze has nearly three miles of pathways to explore, and it usually takes most visitors about an hour to puzzle their way out. You can also indulge in wine and cider tastings by the glass. Their store also sells homemade goodies such as cookies and caramel apples so you can top your day off with a tasty treat.

And once you’re back home, check out Eckert’s recipes for pumpkin pie creme brulee and fresh pumpkin pie. And don’t worry, your pup won’t feel left out–when you’re baking up your treats, you can save them a little cooked pumpkin as a treat, too.

The rural feel and colorful foliage at Hanson’s Farm make a perfect backdrop for some awesome autumn photos. Pose your leashed pup next to a pumpkin for that Instagram-worthy photo. After you’re done at the pumpkin patch, you can swing by the MOO Bus for a scoop of ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt. Though they don’t dish up doggy ice cream, your pup will have to forgive you for wanting to try their mouth-watering donut sundae which comes with cider donuts, whipped cream, caramel and a cherry on top! (Be sure to pack a few dog treats so they don’t feel totally left out.)

The farm also provides complimentary wagons that you can use to cart your pumpkins out of the patch—so feel free to splurge on that gigantic great pumpkin. Hey, Halloween only comes once a year. Dogs are also allowed in the corn maze and sunflower fields, though not in the market, orchards or on the wagon rides. Go ahead, take your time to stroll through the five-acre corn maze, which takes approximately an hour.

DeMeritt Hill Farm, New Hampshire

Image

Address: 20 Orchard Way, Lee, NH 03861

Season: Early October to late November

Cost: Price per pound varies based on variety

DeMeritt Hill Farm has three—yes, three—dog-friendly pumpkin patches. The farm is also home to a network of nature trails that are great for walking, hiking or trail running with your best buddy. In addition to the six miles of trails across its 120 acres, the farm also offers several fun events throughout the year—some of which, like Pumkinfest in October, are dog-friendly. And though you can’t bring your dog to the farm’s spooky Haunted Overload, consider going without your pet, because the event helps raise money for the Pope Memorial Humane Society of Cocheco Valley.

Arata’s Pumpkin Farm, California

Image
Arata's

Address: 185 Verde Rd., Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

Season: October 1 to October 31

Cost: Generally between $5-$15, depending on size, plus a $20 parking fee Fridays-Sundays

The oldest sustainable pumpkin farm in the Bay Area, Arata’s Pumpkin Farm has dozens of varieties in all shapes and sizes—and your leashed dog is welcome to join you to pick the perfect one. And even though Half Moon Bay is known as the “pumpkin capital of the West Coast,” Arata’s is also home to a famous two-acre Minotaur’s Labyrinth hay maze to give your pup a chance to stretch their legs and sniff their way out of the maze. The farm also has a train ride, guided pony rides and even a petting zoo, so if you’re bringing along your (human) kids, they can have just as much fun as your fur child.

Pumpkin Patch Safety Tips for Your Dog

  • Obey all leash requirements and other pet policies at the farm; know where your dog is and isn’t allowed before you go.
  • Ensure your dog is well-socialized and trained to behave properly around other people, kids and pets.
  • Bring plenty of water and check the forecast—pumpkin patches don’t have much shade so you’ll want to pick a cool day and make sure your pup stays hydrated.
  • Don’t let your dog eat leaves, bits of broken pumpkin or anything else they find on the ground.
  • Be considerate of other farm animals. Some working farms have animals like cows, goats or chickens. Others offer pony rides or have petting zoos. Make sure your dog is well-behaved and won’t bark or try to chase the farm’s other animals.
  • Bring plenty of dog poop bags and always pick up after your pup.
  • If you’re going to be out after dark or around dusk, make sure you outfit your pup with a collar light or light-up collar so they will be visible too!

Make the Most of Your Pumpkin Patch Adventure

Picking the perfect pumpkin with your pup is all about creating a memorable experience and a new fall tradition. Here’s how you can make your dog’s day out even more fun for you both!

  • Wear matching seasonal sweaters, outfit your pup in a cute bandana or break out their Halloween costume. Not only will they look adorable but you can also snap some top-notch autumn photos for Instagram.
  • Play on-leash games or bring special treats to entertain your dog while you wander through the pumpkin patch.
  • Bring a friend whose dog is your pup’s bestie and pack a picnic for everyone to enjoy at a picnic area after your pumpkin picking outing.
  • Let your pooch pick out a pumpkin, too! Then find a dog-friendly pumpkin recipe, like these delightful pumpkin pie dog treats, to make when you get back home. Or, if you’re feeling artistic and are handy with the carving tools, see if you can create a jack-o’-lantern resembling your best fur friend.
