Best Pumpkin Patches and Farms in San Francisco

When you feel the cool mornings and crisp nights it only means one thing – Fall has befallen and Halloween on October 31st is a sign of the times. San Francisco, despite its urban density, has a lot of pumpkin patches, opening their gates to visitors to enjoy the fruits of the harvest and search for the perfect pumpkin. If you are visiting San Francisco, we recommend making a visit to one of these pumpkin patches as some of them offer more than just the gourds but fun and excitement for children and adults, alike.

Whether you’re looking to carve a fierce-looking jack-o’-lantern, or just want to take the kids out for the experience, these pumpkin patches will provide a couple hours of fun. Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch, first to be opened in San Francisco in 1979 has been a choice place that offers pumpkins, squash, hayrides and decorative corn stalks to the locals for a very long time now. Truly, a lot of San Francisco natives will tell you it is the best patch in The City. This place provides you free parking and a little fee for the hay rides. It is open daily from 9 a.m.–9 p.m. and is located at 1620 7th Avenue.

If you are visiting San Francisco, you have to make the short drive south to Half Moon Bay, which is the Pumpkin Capital of The World.
