Owner Lori Olson said pumpkins have been “in demand this season,” with more expected to arrive in the afternoon. The Patch offers a range of pumpkins, including varieties Olson identified as “the moonlights and the Ghirardeles and the Cinderellas,” along with traditional carving pumpkins in multiple sizes.

Beyond pumpkins, the attraction includes inflatables, games, face painting, horse rides and vendors selling food and drinks. Olson also said the Bakersfield Firefighters Historical Society is again running a beer and wine garden, with proceeds supporting a museum project.
The Patch also features a petting zoo with animals including “baby potbelly pigs and ducks, goats, sheep,” Olson said. Olson also noted the petting zoo includes a goat named Kylie, described as “the star of the show.”

Pumpkin prices range from $1 mini pumpkins to large “prize winners” priced around $50, Olson said.
The Patch plans to be open on Halloween, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Olson said, adding that families can come during the day for activities such as face painting before heading out to trick-or-treat later. For more details you can visit The Patch here.
