The Washington State University Eggert Family Organic Farm is hosting their annual u-pick pumpkin sales from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 28 and Oct. 5. The Sept. 28 sale also features a one-day Harvest Festival.
The festival is free and includes games, face-painting, and other activities. Pumpkin pies, donuts, and cider will be available for purchase, with proceeds for those items benefiting WSU’s Organic Agriculture Club. The pumpkins for the pies and donuts are donated by the farm and baking is donated through a partnership with WSU Residential Dining.
The farm is located on Animal Science Rd., behind the WSU Bear Research, Education, and Conservation Center.
More details are available on the farm’s website or on Facebook or Instagram. Pumpkins are all pre-priced and can be purchased after picking on site.
The Farm stand will also be open during the u-pick with a wide selection of fall crops including: potatoes, shallots, carrots, winter squash, beets, ornamental corn, and greens.
For food safety, no pets allowed.
Cards are preferred for purchase of produce. Cider, donuts, and pumpkin pie purchases can be made using cash, check, or Venmo.
“This is our favorite way of hosting the community to take in our beautiful farm, celebrate the harvest season, and enjoy pies and donuts made from our farm grown pumpkins,” said Meredith Raymond, an officer in the WSU Organic Ag Club.
