Local Pumpkin Patch Guide
RM Home Specialists • October 8, 2024

It's PUMPKIN SEASON.

Trader Joe's has wrap-around lines, the crisp morning air, and our weekends are filled with football and friends. We’re incredibly fortunate here in the South Puget Sound to have several amazing pumpkin patches hosted by local and family-owned farms. There are many options for this fun Fall activity! Here are some of our favorite spots:


🎃 Turnbull Farm in Lakebay

Situated in the heart of the Key Peninsula, Turnbull Farm is a charming destination where you can go pick out your own pumpkins and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In addition to their pumpkin patch, the farm is home to farm animals and beautiful gardens. Turnbull Farms also has many seasonal offerings, including workshops (learn how to make a wreath!) and outdoor yoga and Pilates classes. They are open on Saturdays and Sundays throughout October, and you can find more information on their Facebook and Instagram pages.



🎃 Maris Farms in Buckley

Maris Farms in Buckley hosts the incredible Maris Farms Fall Festival all month long in October, and a LOT is going on here from morning ‘til night time! There are all kinds of fun daytime activities like a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, live pig and duck races, train and wagon rides, an animal barn, catch and release trout fishing, ziplines, and more, and then there are the “haunted” offerings to explore. There is a scary, immersive 35-minute haunted experience, and you can learn more about all the different ticket options here. Follow Maris Farms on Facebook and Instagram for the most recent information. To plan your visit, check out MarisFarms.com.



🎃 Knutson Farms in Sumner

Knutson Farms was started in the 1930s, and what once began as a small rhubarb and flower farming venture has grown into the incredible operation it is today! In addition to growing rhubarb and cut flowers, Knutson Farms hosts several events throughout the year, including “The Patch” in October. In October, you can celebrate the fall season here and pick pumpkins, explore the hay bale or corn maze, play corn hole and tetherball, try out the tricycle course and rubber ducky races, visit the animal barn and flower shop, and more. Plus, there’s food + beverages to enjoy on your trip. Learn more aboutKnutson Farms here, and follow Knutson Farms on Facebook and Instagram.



🎃 Spooner Farms in Puyallup

Spooner Farms is one of the most popular pumpkin patch destinations in the Pierce County area, and here you’ll find so much more than just a pumpkin patch! Spooner Farms has been around since 1882, and it’s very much a family-owned and operated venture—in fact, it’s been in the family for 6 generations! 

Spooner Farms’ Harvest Festival and Corn Maze features a huge pumpkin patch, an elaborate corn maze, delicious snacks, farm animals, a pumpkin slingshot, tractor tours, fall decorations and much more. For more information about visiting Spooner Farms, click here and follow Spooner Farms on Facebook and Instagram for updates.



🎃 Picha Farms in Puyallup

Picha Farms has been growing produce since 1904, and this Puyallup farm is a great option if you’re looking for a fun spot to enjoy harvest activities this fall! You’ll find a 5-acre corn maze, a hayride, a kiddie train, a slingshot, classic autumn snacks (like hot apple cider, kettle corn, homemade caramel apples, roasted corn, and more), fall decor to buy, and of course, a 9-acre pumpkin patch! For more information about what you expect on your visit, visit the Picha Farms social pages, Facebook and Instagram, for more details. 



🎃 Double RR Farms Pumpkin Patch in Puyallup

This third generation, family-operated farm is right in between Puyallup and Tacoma off of River Road. During October, you can visit Double RR Farms’ 5-acre corn maze, a huge selection of pumpkins, free tractor-pulled hay rides, a pumpkin slingshot, and more. You can learn more about visiting Double RR Farms Pumpkin Patch in Puyallup here. Follow them on Facebook for updates, and check out photos of the farm on Instagram.



We usually make our way to Spooner Farms, but this year we're excited to try Turnbull Farm in Lakebay. Wherever you end up, we hope you have a fantastic time! Enjoy your pumpkin patch fun, and have a wonderful October!

Gated Comfort, Garden Charm and an Unbeatable Lakewood Location

By RM Home Specialists • July 30, 2026
Some homes stand out because of their finishes. Others win you over with their location. This beautifully upgraded condo at Clover Creek Crossing offers both, along with the intimate feeling of a small, established community. Clover Creek Crossing is a gated community of just 10 units offering a quieter and more personal alternative to a large condominium complex. Surrounded by lush landscaping and with access to Chambers Creek, the setting feels peaceful and tucked away yet it is wonderfully connected to everything Lakewood has to offer. Step inside, and you’ll immediately appreciate the bright, open layout and the extensive upgrades completed throughout the home. The recent remodel included new flooring, appliances, kitchen cabinetry, extended granite countertops, updated bathrooms, lighting, ceiling fans and fixtures, as well as fresh interior paint. The gas fireplace was replaced and refreshed, built-in bookshelves were relocated, and a new patio slider was installed to create an easy connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces. The improvements went well beyond the cosmetic. A new furnace and water heater were also added during the remodel, while air conditioning provides a welcome layer of comfort during the warmer months. It is the kind of thoughtful updating that allows a new owner to move in and enjoy the home without facing a long list of projects. One of the home’s most enchanting features is its private brick patio. Framed by greenery and equipped with its own watering system for the garden beds, it is a delightful place for morning coffee, container gardening, outdoor dining or a quiet evening with friends. It feels like a secret garden—beautiful, manageable and surprisingly private. Parking is another standout benefit.

Quick access to I-5 makes commuting to Tacoma, Olympia, JBLM and surrounding areas simple, while the gated entry and natural surroundings welcome you home to a calmer pace. This is more than an upgraded condo . it is a charming, comfortable retreat in the center of it all.
