Good to know

🅿️ Free parking on site
💡 On weekends, food vendors are on-site (pizza, BBQ, shaved ice), and the patch has two hay mazes sized for different age groups — worth planning extra time for both.

The Nicasio Valley Pumpkin Patch is a beloved Marin County fall tradition, offering organic pumpkins of every shape and size along with farm fun on the family's working farmstead. The official site confirms the patch will return for its 2026 season, though exact 2026 dates have not yet been posted. Based on the 2025 schedule (Sept 26 - Nov 2), it typically opens daily in late September and runs through early November.
