An organic farm combining pumpkins, wine tasting, and haunted-maze weekends attracts adults and families equally; last u-pick entry at 4 p.m. means early-day visits are essential.
Last entry to u-pick fields at 4:00 PM
Bella Organic Farm combines a pumpkin patch and winery on Sauvie Island, making it a destination for both families and adults seeking a fall outing with wine involved. It’s a working organic farm, though specific organic certifications and practices aren’t documented in our record.
The season runs September 21 through October 31, daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The farm has a 7-acre corn maze, a petting zoo, hayrides, wine tasting, and u-pick pumpkins.
This is the single most important operational fact: last entry to u-pick fields is 4 p.m. If picking pumpkins is on your agenda, you must arrive well before 4 p.m. Arriving at 4:15 p.m. means you’ve missed the u-pick window entirely.
This shapes when you should visit. A 10 a.m. arrival gives you five hours in the fields. A 1 p.m. arrival gives you three hours. Anything after 3 p.m. is rushing.
U-pick pumpkins, a 7-acre corn maze, a petting zoo, hayrides, and wine tasting. This menu appeals to multiple age groups and interests. Young children enjoy the petting zoo and hayrides. Older kids navigate the maze. Adults enjoy wine tasting while supervising the kids’ activities.
The organic-farm positioning is a draw for families interested in sustainable agriculture or teaching kids where food comes from.
Unlike most pumpkin patches, this farm has an on-site winery and offers tastings. That changes the outing’s character—you’re not just doing farm activities; you’re also exploring wine. This appeals to adults who might otherwise skip a pumpkin patch.
Wine tasting and family activities run concurrently, so you can split your group (adults at tastings while someone supervises kids on hayrides) or plan separate time slots for each.
On select weekend evenings starting September 27, the corn maze includes spooky elements and actors—a “haunted” experience. This transforms the daytime family maze into an evening adult or teen activity. The record doesn’t detail whether this is genuinely scary, whether it’s suitable for young kids, or whether there’s separate pricing. Calling (503) 621-9545 clarifies what to expect.
The petting zoo is typically a young-child draw, and hayrides appeal across ages. Details on animals included, hayride capacity, or whether you need to book ahead aren’t documented. Call the farm for specifics.
Large enough to provide real puzzle-solving engagement. The record doesn’t detail difficulty level or typical navigation time, so calling ahead helps set expectations for your group’s ages and abilities.
Pumpkin varieties, sizes, and typical availability aren’t detailed. Admission pricing isn’t listed (this is a paid-entry farm). Specific details on what’s included in wine tastings (how many wines, tasting flight duration, etc.) aren’t documented.
Organic certification details—which crops or processes are certified, certification body, etc.—aren’t specified. If that’s a purchase driver for you, confirming specifics by phone matters.
On-site farm parking; typical rural conditions. Accessibility for hayrides, maze, and petting zoo requires direct conversation with the farm.
Weekday visits are quieter and less crowded. Early-afternoon weekday visits give maximum u-pick time before the 4 p.m. cutoff.
Weekend evenings shift the vibe entirely if you’re doing the haunted maze. That’s an adult or teen activity, distinct from family daytime visits.
Western Oregon October weather is rainy and cool. The farm’s island location (Sauvie Island, single-bridge access) can create traffic on weekends. Weekday visits offer smoother travel and less-crowded farm conditions.
The combination of pumpkins, wine, and family activities is uncommon. For multi-generational outings or date-night-with-kids scenarios, this flexibility is valuable. The organic positioning appeals to families interested in sustainable farming. The haunted-maze weekend option opens an entirely different audience (adults, teens) to what’s typically a family destination.
But the 4 p.m. u-pick cutoff is non-negotiable. Plan your arrival time accordingly.
Call (503) 621-9545 to confirm current 2026 admission pricing, wine-tasting details, and haunted-maze specifics (dates, times, scariness level, age appropriateness). Arrive by 3 p.m. if u-pick pumpkins are on your agenda. Ask about parking and accessibility if those matter to your group.
Mid-to-late October for largest pumpkins; weekend evenings if you're interested in the haunted corn maze (runs Sept 27 onward on weekends). Early afternoon visits maximize u-pick field time before the 4 p.m. last-entry cutoff.
2-3 hours for u-pick pumpkins, corn maze, and casual browsing; add 30+ minutes for wine tastings if that's on the agenda.
Weekends are busier, especially early afternoon when families arrive en masse. Weekday visits and early afternoon slots are quieter. Haunted-maze weekend evenings draw a different crowd (more adult-focused).
On-site farm parking; typical rural conditions.
Hayrides and petting zoo are listed; accessibility details not documented. Call (503) 621-9545 to discuss specific needs.
Bella is on Sauvie Island (same area as The Pumpkin Patch). Both farms are accessible from the same bridge entry; you could visit both if timing and your schedule allow, though that's ambitious for a single afternoon.
Last entry to u-pick fields is 4 p.m. Arrive earlier in the day to have time in the fields. If you arrive after 3 p.m., you'll have limited time to select and harvest pumpkins before closing.
Weekend evenings starting Sept 27, the corn maze includes spooky elements and actors. It's listed as a specific draw but details on content, recommended age, or separate pricing aren't documented. Call (503) 621-9545 for details.
The farm is a winery with a pumpkin patch, so both activities coexist. Wine tastings are adult-focused, and family activities (u-pick, maze, petting zoo, hayrides) run concurrently. You can do one, both, or split your group.
The record lists it as an 'organic farm,' but specifics on certification, farming practices, or which crops are certified organic aren't detailed. Call to ask about organic certification and practices if that's important to your purchase.
