It is my favourite time of the year, the -ber months. September to December are the best, and the transition from Summer to Fall is the absolute best! The crisp air, crunchy leaves, warm drinks, and of course, the pumpkin patch! Every year, my family makes it a tradition to head out to a local patch, and the Abbotsford Pumpkin Patches are some really great one!

Whether you’re hunting for the perfect pumpkin for your front porch, letting the kids burn off energy in a corn maze, or simply soaking up the cozy autumn vibes, Abbotsford is full of amazing spots to make those fall memories.

Here are some of the best Abbotsford pumpkin patches that are perfect for families.

The Best Abbotsford Pumpkin Patches

🍎 Taves Family Farms (The Applebarn)

Taves is an Abbotsford classic! Not only can you pick pumpkins, but you can also enjoy apple picking, a petting zoo, hay rides, and even sip on their fresh apple cider. It’s a one stop shop for fall fun, especially if you’ve got little ones. Bonus: it’s full of photo-worthy spots that capture the essence of fall.

🌻 Maan Farms

If you’re looking for a full fall festival experience, Maan Farms is the place. Along with their pumpkin patch, they have an epic corn maze, a sunflower field (early fall), and plenty of farm fresh treats. Kids will love the play area, and parents can enjoy their famous berry wine. It’s lively, fun, and full of energy which perfect for families who want a little bit of everything.

🎃 Willow View Farms

For a more classic, laid back experience, Willow View Farms is wonderful. Think wide open fields of pumpkins, apple orchards, and a slower pace that’s perfect for younger kids or families who prefer a quieter atmosphere. Don’t forget to stop by their market for fresh apples, cider, and homemade goodies.

🌾 Local Hidden Gems

Beyond the big names, Abbotsford has several smaller family run pumpkin patches that are worth exploring. These often feel a little less busy and give you that “true farm” experience. Sometimes the best memories are made at the simplest spots!

Tips For Visiting Abbotsford Pumpkin Patches

• Go early in the season for the best pumpkin selection.
• Dress for the weather (boots you don’t mind getting muddy are a must).
• Bring cash just in case—some vendors may not accept cards.
• Golden hour magic: If you want those dreamy fall photos, head to the patch in the late afternoon when the light is soft and golden

Make It A Family Photo Opportunity

Pumpkin patches aren’t just a fun outing, they make the most beautiful backdrop for family photos. Kids exploring the fields, parents cuddled up with warm drinks, and all those vibrant pops of orange. It’s the perfect recipe for fall memories captured forever.
