Beaverton’s The Wild Pumpkin opens for fall season, offers mazes and fresh donuts
BEAVERTON — The Wild Pumpkin in Beaverton has officially opened its doors for the fall season, offering a variety of family activities and fresh baked treats. Located in Beaverton, the farm features seasonal attractions including a pumpkin patch, corn and hay mazes, farm animals, interactive games and daily kitchen offerings. The location is open seven days a week through the end of October. The farm features both beginner and advanced corn mazes grown specifically for the fall season. Katie Schunk, owner of The Wild Pumpkin, noted the quality of this year’s crop. “Our corn turned out great this year. So the maze is very thick and it’s very challenging,” Schunk said. Adjacent to the mazes, children can play in a large corn pit filled with corn harvested directly from the farm’s mazes before using the slides. “The nice thing is the parents can just kind of watch them. Normally they’re munching on donuts or other treats while they’re watching them and they have a great time,” Schunk said. In addition, the farm offers a hay maze built from approximately 800 bales of hay and straw, which leads to a large slide. Visitors can also see and feed farm animals, including
