A straightforward, no-frills Tri-Cities u-pick operation with transparent 45-cent-per-pound pricing, modern payment options, and a 2-acre patch with 40+ squash varieties, opening mid-September through October.
45 cents per pound for all pumpkins and squash
Rough cost for a family of four: about $1.80 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.
Job’s Nursery is the anti-festival: no wristbands, no funland, no premium pricing. You show up, walk a 2-acre patch, pick what you want, and pay 45 cents per pound. The simplicity is refreshing and economical.
Tri-Cities location (Pasco, Franklin County) places it in Eastern Washington’s dry, continental climate. October here is clear and cool—ideal for field walking—with negligible rain risk compared to west-of-Cascades patches.
Transparency in pricing is rare enough to note. A 10-pound pumpkin costs $4.50. A 20-pound one costs $9. A 5-pound decorative squash costs $2.25. The math is immediate and honest. There’s no tier of “medium pumpkin $12, large pumpkin $18”—you pay for weight, period. This appeals to budget households, visitors comfortable doing the arithmetic, and shoppers wanting to avoid markups.
The record confirms 40+ squash varieties alongside pumpkins. Eastern Washington farms have real growing diversity; you’re likely to find butternut, delicata, acorn, Hubbard, and regional favorites. If you cook with fall squash, this is worth the stop. Same per-pound pricing applies to all—no premium charge for specialty types.
This is not a destination with entertainment, food, or activities. You pick pumpkins and leave. No corn maze, no hayride, no caramel apples, no live music. If your family requires structured activities, this won’t work. If you’re seeking a pure u-pick experience and prefer to spend on the actual pumpkins rather than infrastructure and entertainment, this is ideal.
Modern payment options (NFC, Apple Pay, Google Pay, all major credit cards, cash) mean you don’t need to hit an ATM. That’s genuinely convenient in rural Pasco. However, no phone number is published online, and Yelp presence is minimal (10 reviews). This is a working farm that doesn’t court web traffic. Confirm hours and any special arrangements by visiting the website (www.jobsnursery.com) or stopping in person.
The farm is open Tuesday-Saturday through October, then adds Sunday 11am-4pm in October only. If you’re planning a Sunday visit, you must go in October. The hours also mean a late-afternoon or evening visit is not an option; you need daylight.
With 10 Yelp reviews (July 2026), this is a local draw, not a regional destination. Expect modest crowds. Early morning (9am-11am) or mid-afternoon (2pm-4pm) visits should be manageable. Eastern Washington October is dry, so field parking won’t be muddy.
Job’s Nursery is ideal for budget-conscious households, cooks and gardeners seeking diverse squash varieties, and visitors happy to skip activities and activities in favor of u-pick simplicity. It’s less suited to families with young children needing entertainment, visitors seeking a full-day destination, or groups comfortable only with high-amenity venues. If you’re in or near Pasco and want a straightforward pumpkin-shopping trip with transparent pricing, this is the place.
September 25 through October 31, 2026 (confirmed dates); Tuesday-Saturday 9am-5pm, Sundays 11am-4pm during October only.
1-1.5 hours
Small Yelp presence (10 reviews, July 2026) suggests local draw, not regional destination. Early morning (9am-11am) likely quieter than afternoon hours. October Sundays have limited hours (11am-4pm only).
Rural Pasco location; field or gravel lot expected. Eastern Washington October is dry, so mud is unlikely.
Not confirmed. Call or visit to ask about accessible parking, restroom facilities, or field paths for mobility challenges.
Pasco is part of the Tri-Cities region (with Kennewick and Richland). Combine with other Eastern Washington patches (Beck's Harvest House, Siemers Farm, Walters' Fruit Ranch in Green Bluff, 45 minutes north) for an Eastern Washington corn-maze and pumpkin tour.
45 cents per pound for all pumpkins and squash. A 10-pound pumpkin is $4.50. Bring a scale or ask farm staff to weigh your selection.
