🎃 Spooner Farms Harvest Festival Returns to Puyallup October 1

If you want a clean line between summer and fall, here it is. The Spooner Farms Harvest Festival opens October 1 in Puyallup and runs every day through October 31, which gives you the whole month to get your pumpkins.

The heart of it is the patch. You walk the rows, find your pumpkin, and haul it out, which is exactly the kind of simple fall outing that turns into a family tradition. Around it, the farm builds out a full harvest festival on 9710 State Route 162 East, an easy drive out into Pierce County farm country.

There is plenty to do beyond picking a pumpkin. You can get lost in the corn maze, launch a gourd on the pumpkin slingshot, meet the animals at Becky’s Animal Barn, and turn the kids loose in Pete’s Play Town and on the Speedway. There is a gift shop and a candy store for the way out, and on weekends the food stands fire up with caramel apples, caramel popcorn, and roasted corn.

The best part is the schedule. It is open daily from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening, all month long, so you can go on a quiet weekday or make a weekend of it. Bring cash or a card, since there is an ATM on site, and check the farm’s page for the latest on pricing before you head out.

Real estate note: part of the appeal of the Puyallup area is that you can live a short drive from real working farm country. A month-long harvest festival like this one, close enough to be a weeknight outing, is exactly the kind of everyday livability that draws families to south Pierce County and keeps them here through every season.
