Richmond Country Farms Pumpkin Patch

A Fall Tradition on the Farm

Each October, the Richmond Country Farms Pumpkin Patch becomes a cozy fall tradition — wagon rides with lively farm music carry guests out to the pumpkin fields, past ponds, barns, and friendly farm animals. Along the way, the wagon also passes gentle spooky displays tucked between the fields, adding a soft touch of Halloween atmosphere to the ride.

Visitors can explore the patch, enjoy the corn maze, meet the animals, and soak in the rustic charm of the farm. Many head home with a pumpkin in hand and a crisp BC-grown Spartan apple — a little harvest treat to remember the day.

How the Pumpkin Patch Flows

Every visit begins at the ticket hut, where families check in and get ready for a fall day on the farm. Once inside, guests can either hop aboard the lively wagon ride out to the pumpkin fields, or take the miniature farm train for a cozy loop around the central barnyard. The layout is simple, open, and designed so you can explore at your own pace without rushing.

After The Ticket Hut

Crossing The Bridge Into The Pumpkin Circle

Once you’ve picked up your tickets at the hut and walked over the bridge, you’ll step into the main pumpkin festival circle—where shade umbrellas, picnic chairs, food trucks, live music, and the entrances for both the train and wagon rides all come together before you head out to the pumpkin fields.

Dahlias In The Pumpkin Patch

Dahlias Still Blooming In October

Some of the dahlias from the Sunflower Festival keep blooming right into pumpkin season. You’ll see soft peach, blush, and cream flowers still going strong while the pumpkins are ready to pick.

Blooms range from tight, round flowers to more open, fluffy shapes. Colours stay mostly in the soft pink, peach, and cream family, which looks really good next to all the orange pumpkins.

Why Dahlias Are Still Around

Dahlias don’t finish when summer does. Once they start, they usually keep flowering until the first hard frost. That’s why, during pumpkin season, you’ll still see them putting out fresh blooms.

They’re great if you like taking detail photos — you can focus on the centre, the spiral of petals, or shoot from the side so you see both the flower and a bit of the farm behind it.

Easy photo tip: get a little closer than you think, tap to focus on the middle of the flower, and try a few shots from slightly different angles. One or two will usually stand out right away.
Dahlia Fun Fact
Bloom Window

Dahlias normally bloom from late summer through early fall. As long as nights don’t get too cold, they’ll keep opening new flowers.

Dahlia Fun Fact
From Tubers

Each plant grows from a tuber in the soil. One tuber can grow into a full clump with several stems and dozens of blooms in a season.

Dahlia Fun Fact
Different Shapes

Some dahlias are tight and ball-shaped, some are more open and fluffy, and others have long, narrow petals. You can usually spot several types just by looking around for a minute.
