Fall 2026 · The patch guide

Every NoCo pumpkin patch, sorted.

Hours, gate prices, corn mazes, and which patches are free to walk into. We re-check every farm on this page each week, when we build the Tuesday dispatch.

Farms close for weather and sell out on busy weekends. Check the farm's own page before you load up the car.
