Stocker Farms Pumpkin Patch
What to Expect at Snohomish’s Favorite Fall Festival
Fall in the Pacific Northwest always seems to change overnight — one day it’s sunshine, the next it’s boots, jackets, and hot cider. For our family, that shift means it’s time for pumpkin patches, apple cider donuts, and Stocker Farms in Snohomish.
We’ve visited several Seattle-area pumpkin patches over the years, but Stocker Farms keeps pulling us back. It’s bright, lively, and packed with things to do, from corn mazes to pumpkin displays and plenty of photo spots. Here’s what to expect if you’re planning a trip this fall. ✨

What We Loved Most About Stocker Farms
For my son, Stocker Farms is the clear favorite Seattle-area pumpkin patch. He has a blast running between the games and could spend all afternoon in the bounce area and on the big slide. I love how the farm added two maze options this year so families can choose between a quick, fun version or a longer challenge. The atmosphere feels happy and welcoming, and the displays are gorgeous, bright, detailed, and truly photo-worthy.
Things to Know Before You Go to Stocker Farms

| Bring comfortable shoes or boots if it has rained, especially if you want to do the corn maze which gets pretty muddy. |

Favorite Bites at Stocker Farms
The Seattle Dog Food Truck is a solid lunch choice, and the apple cider donuts and salted caramel fudge are must-tries.
Photo Moment SuggestionS at Stocker Farms
Perfect photo spot: There are so many at Stocker Farms, but my favorites are the large pumpkin and gourd displays near the main entrance, the dahlias in the Pumpkin Patch play area, the sunflower fields between the corn and the pumpkin patch, and — of course — the pumpkin house.
Picking and Buying Pumpkins at Stocker Farms
Of course, no visit to Stocker Farms would be complete without finding that perfect pumpkin. You can pick out pumpkins a few different ways at Stocker Farms. If you love the look of perfect displays, you’ll find rows of pumpkins and gourds arranged by color and size near the entrance — bright orange, creamy white, deep green, and everything in between. Each section is beautifully styled, and it’s easy to spot exactly what you want.
If you’d rather hunt for the perfect pumpkin in the field, grab a wheelbarrow and head out to the patch. The fields are neatly arranged, so it’s easy to wander without feeling lost. Once you’ve picked your favorites, you’ll roll back and weigh your pumpkins on the big scale near the exit. Prices are by the pound, and there’s something really fun about seeing that number pop up after a good haul.
Final Thoughts
Visiting Stocker Farms has become one of those simple joys that marks the start of fall for us. Every year feels a little different — a new maze, new displays, or a new favorite treat — but it always brings the same feeling of slowing down together for a day. Whether you come for the games, the photos, or just a warm cider and a walk through the pumpkins, it’s a place that makes fall feel easy and happy. 🍁
