Autumn Activities
Discover all the fall festivities happening at the Farm this year:
Each fall, we are proud to offer a stunning selection of locally-grown heirloom pumpkins and classic orange carvers in our photo-worthy Pumpkin Patch! Stop by to find the perfect pumpkin for your Jack-o-lantern needs and pose for a few fun fall photos among the hay bales.

Show off your spooky creativity this fall for a chance to win a $300, $200, or $100 Cornell Farm gift card! We are excited to once again open up our annual scarecrow contest to the community. The top three winners will be determined by an online poll at the end of September.

Seasonal Shopping & Dining
There's so much to find at the Nursery, Gift Shop, and Cafe this autumn.
If you're serious about spooky season, you know it's never too early to start decorating! Beginning in August, a haunting Halloween display appears like a specter in our Gift Shop, full of planters, decor, and more to help get you in the spooky spirit.

Our Cafe's menu is always changing with the seasons, and on September 2, we're officially making the switch for autumn! Experience the flavors of fall at a sit-down brunch in our family's Farmhouse, or explore our Pumpkin Patch with a delicious pastry or steaming seasonal beverage in hand.
Come explore our rainbow of bulbs for fall planting, including crocuses, daffodils, irises, tulips, fritillaria, hyacinths, and more. They couldn't be easier to plant — just pop them in the ground now for a springtime show.
Check out a few design tips and suggested combinations we've put together to inspire you on our blog, then shop our astounding selection in person at the Patio.
Cool fall rains are perfect for helping plants get established, so take advantage of the weather to add more perennials, shrubs, and trees to your home landscape — including climate-adapted PNW natives! In mid-September, our Native Section will be getting a refresh with a large shipment of PNW natives to beautify your garden while creating habitat for local wildlife.
