When it comes to "fall festivities" in the Treasure Valley, what comes to mind? Haunted attractions, coffee shops, or pumpkin patches? Good news: none of these things are mutually exclusive.

As the Treasure Valley grows, so too does the list of options for 'Fall Fun' but have you visited one of Idaho's most charming and classic family farms, in business since 1911??

Perhaps you've seen them on social media--there's always something fun and local going on with Wissel Farms--we love to see more and more people seeking out locally sourced produce!

There's a reason that Wissel Farms is Idaho's favorite pumpkin patch--here's a glimpse into the annual family favorite! 

Your "Must-Visit" Pumpkin Patch This Fall

When it comes to the charm of the Treasure Valley, few things are more important than cherishing and supporting our local businesses.

The secret is out, people are moving here and we're growing--fast. There's no getting around that. If you're like us and would like to help support local, check out Wissel Farms this fall!

We love Wissel Farms because they've been a local, Idaho business since 1911! 

Not only is Wissel Farms a place that has seen thousands of families visit for produce for years--but they're a place that continues to offer opportunities to the community, as members themselves.

We get it--there are a LOT of halloween and "fall" attractions in the Treasure Valley this year, but locally owned and operated Wissel Farms is a little different. You won't find flashy billboards driving a mile-long line for admittance to their doorstep.

There's no admittance fee. No tickets are needed.

What you WILL find is a family run farm with arguably the best pumpkin selection in the State of Idaho.  Not only can you go out and pick your own--but the farm offers FREE hayrides for kids, families, and dates alike to get the full farm experience.

As the internet says, 'in this economy'--this is the kind of free family fun we love to see!

If you're someone who grew up in the area, perhaps you recall the magic of field trips out to Wissel Farms each fall.  For many in the Nampa area especially, this is a cherished tradition--and it's something everyone should experience.

 

FREE hayrides are available for the pumpkin patch DAILY!

Weekdays: 12:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.

Weekends: 10:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

 

The patch not your speed? You can find Wissel Farms produce stand with pumpkins (and more) that are ready to roll on the corner of Lake Lowell and Middleton Road, in Nampa.

See Everything There is To Do at The Farmstead Pumpkin Patch in Kuna, Idaho

Lowe Family Farmstead has been around for decades and as you can tell when you go there has been well cared for. Adults and kids were all happily wore out by the time we wrapped things up and headed toward the exit. I had no idea all of the fun and adventurous activities that were in store for us.
