Best Pumpkin Patches in OC

Updated: Feb 25, 2021

Fall is here, that means it’s Pumpkin Patch season again!


Tanaka Farms - Irvine

Growing up in Brazil we never had the pumpkin patch tradition, so for me it’s super fun to experience it here in the US. I always know it's that time of the year when I start to smell the scent of sweet cinnamon & pumpkin spice just about everywhere.


It feels so good to walk around the fields and pick my own pumpkin, then decorate my house. I enjoy celebrating seasons, holidays and really just everything.

There’s always something to be thankful, so why not?!

This year I will try to carve my own pumpkin, let’s see what comes out of it! Stay tuned lol


I visited Tanaka Farms in Irvine last year and I loved it! Check below for more details & pictures and also the list with some of the best pumpkin patches in Orange County for 2019!
