I was driving down Highway 10 heading back into Cloverdale and I noticed a sign saying that Capella's farm is open from now until Halloween offering hayrides, pumpkins, and a haunted house. The hours are 9am to 6pm. Its still light outside at 6pm. I'm not sure what fun a haunted house will be in the daylight! They are located on 160th Street a couple of blocks south off Highway 10, cross the railway tracks and Colebrook Road and they're the first farm on the left (east) side of the road.
There is a pumpkin patch on 20th Avenue I think its called the Hazelmere pumpkin patch, about a block east off 184th Street. Their signs say they're open on weekends in October. However today for the first time in many years I decided to ride my horse up into that area and noticed they were open, this would be around 3pm Thursday. They have hay rides - a tractor pulling a wagon with some bales of hay on it - to their pumpkin patch and also have a petting zoo. I noticed goats but there were probably some other small farm animals too. A few cars were parked there and some kids moving around the field. I heard one of the patrons ask them about their hours and the woman said during the week it depends on the weather if they open for a few hours. It was a sunny afternoon. Friday its supposed to rain so maybe not open. Its supposed to rain all weekend so I'm not sure how that will go over. Wear gum boots!
I noticed pumpkins at Country Bob's produce - corner of 64th Avenue and 156th Street - for $2.99 each and also $2.99 at the Cloverdale supermarket on the corner of 176th Street and 58th Avenue.
Cloverdale Farm Market on the corner of Highway 10 and 168th Street has a corn maze set up in the parking lot and patrons go in to collect a pumpkin. I believe the admission is $5 and includes a pumpkin.
