Annual pumpkin patch open for the season in Paso Robles
Visiting the pumpkin patch is free
– River “K” Pumpkins on North River Road just north of Paso Robles is celebrating its 54th year of operation.
The pumpkin farm started as a 4-H project back in 1969 by Val Reynolds and her late brother. The pumpkin patch relocated from Goleta to Paso robles several decades ago.
In some years, the farm runs out of pumpkins the last few days of the season. “You’re advised to come early,” Reynolds says. “They’ll last for weeks if you keep them in the shade and delay carving them until just before Halloween.”
Visiting the pumpkin patch is free. Pumpkins of various sizes are available to purchase. They provide families with a wagon and clippers to select their own pumpkin from the patch There’s also a Corn Maze, and numerous decorations.
River “K” Pumpkin Patch is located at 5670 North River Road, next to Harris Stage Lines. It’s open daily through Halloween from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. They accept cash and checks only.
