We'd like to say a resounding "welcome back" to Fazio Farms' annual pumpkin patch! Portland is unique in that despite being a major city, we're also in very close proximity to a lot of agriculture and family farms. Fazio Farms is among these, and Portland locals may recognize them as the all-star family farm that supplied the pumpkins for The Inn's Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch events in the past.
They've got a cornucopia of fresh produce, a social distancing-friendly corn maze, and of course plenty of pumpkins freshly washed and ready to take home and carve. Go check out one of our state's iconic family farms!
