The beautiful autumn season is here again, there's nothing I love more than taking my little ones to the pumpkin patch this time of year. With so many pumpkin patches and corn mazes in Oregon, sometimes it can be difficult picking the one you want to visit.
If you're like me right now and still trying to decide on one, you will definitely want to check out the Flower Farmer, located in Canby, Oregon. The Flower Farmer stands out with their 0.75-mile train ride, taking guests on a long loop around the entire farm on the Phoenix & Holly Railroad.
Along the way, riders will make several stops, including a visit to the adorable animals at their petting zoo. Furry bunnies, goats, and donkeys await your pats and head-scratches! The annual Pumpkin Run runs daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 7 days a week. The 2019 Pumpkin Run will start Saturday the 28th of September and run daily through October 31st.
The farm has plenty of other activities, such as picking the perfect pumpkin at the patch, a giant hay pyramid maze, a farm-fresh fruit and veggie stand, and the haunted Boo Train Ride which runs October 5th, 11th, 12th, and the 18th through the 30th from dusk until 9:00 p.m.
The train ride is very reasonable as far as price, setting you back $8 for adults aged 13-64. Kids ages 2 to 12 ride for $5, as well as seniors who are 65 and above. Little ones 24 months and under ride free.
Kids and adults alike will have a great time riding the Phoenix & Holly Railroad. The farm can also help with weddings, receptions, group events, birthday parties and more! Also check out their flower shop for fresh arrangements through September, as well as fragrantly beautiful dried arrangements throughout the year.
The Flower Farmer and Phoenix & Holly Railroad is located at 2512 N Holly, Canby, Oregon 97013. You can reach them at 503-266-3581. Head over to their official website here for more information.
