A small, family-owned pick-your-own farm that shifts from weekend-only to daily October operations, with modest activities and no published 2026 pricing yet.
Loomis Littlefield Farms is a working family farm in Placer County that operates a seasonal pumpkin patch and corn maze. The pick-your-own model is the key draw here: instead of walking a lot full of pre-cut pumpkins, you’re selecting and harvesting directly from the field.
The farm’s activity list is straightforward—pumpkin selection, a corn maze, a farmstand stocked with local seasonal produce. Unlike destination pumpkin patches with hayrides, rides, or elaborate themed experiences, this is a more authentic working-farm visit. You’re coming for pumpkins and farm-fresh produce, not entertainment add-ons.
October is when this farm shifts into full operation: the standard Mon-Sat 10am-5pm schedule expands to daily 10am-5pm hours. Outside October, hours are limited to Mon-Sat, 10am-5pm with a curious midday gap (11am-2pm) mentioned in the records—likely indicating staffing constraints or a midday break. If you’re planning a weekend visit outside peak October, aim for the morning window.
Walking the fields to select your own pumpkin takes longer than grabbing a pre-selected one from a bin, but you’ll find unusual sizes and shapes most visitors miss, and the kids often find the hands-on experience memorable. Bring gloves if you’re particular about your hands, though most families manage fine with just grip and a knife. The farm provides pickers but check current inventory when you call—some years certain sizes sell out mid-season.
The farm had not published 2026 opening and closing dates as of our last check in August. Admission pricing is also not yet posted online. Before driving out, call (916) 367-1126 or visit loomislittlefieldfarms.com to confirm current season dates, admission cost, and whether the maze and farmstand access are bundled into a single price or charged separately.
The Sacramento Valley in October is still warm during the day—often 70-80°F—so sunscreen and a hat are practical additions to your visit. Wear closed-toe shoes for field walking; the ground will be uneven and possibly muddy depending on recent rain.
October weekends, when daily hours expand from the standard 10am-5pm; less useful on weekday off-season visits outside October when hours are limited.
