PUMPKINS this October 2025

Pumpkins at Sauvie Island Farms 2025


We are opening the farm for the month of October for                  u-pick Pumpkins.  8am-6pm

We are doing this for those of you who may just want to get a few pumpkins for the kids to carve or to decorate your porch.  We do not have the hype or extra entertainment like other farms. We do not have an entrance fee or extra charges.  

It will just be you and a field full of pumpkins.  

(if you want the 'extras' there are a couple of farms on the island doing a great job providing fall fun.)

We will have the farm open same as this summer-- self serve, pay using cash or venmo. 

We know that this system is not perfect, we so appreciate all who have honored our farm over the summer, and if you are reading this, we are sure that you have.  Thank you.

Sauvie Island Farms has been growing pumpkins for decades.  We have a few wholesale accounts, one you may have seen on tv.  We usually do not open to the public, but our field is right before the blueberries this year and accessible from our main walking road.  If you have been to the farm, you know the blueberry field is about a 5 minute walk from the farm's entrance.  Carrying a pumpkin or two this far may not be possible for some.  We do a have a few (less than 10) wagons for you to use while at the farm or you are welcome to bring your own wagon.  

Prices for the pumpkins:

Small 'field trip' size: $2 each

Jack o Lanterns:  $6 each

Large-over 25lbs $10 each

mini pumpkins: 2 for $1.00

You will walk past a field of cabbage right before you get to the pumpkins, you are welcome to harvest those also.   $2 each

We do still have some nice flowers blooming on the farm.
Dahlias 50 cents per bloom. Z
innias & Sunflowers  $5 per bundle-what you can wrap your thumb and fingers around.

U-pick APPLES:  Rome Beauty and Red Delicious  $1.00 per lb. The apples are not sprayed, so there  may--will--be worms in some of the apples.

It's fall, so there will be mud.  Be careful where you step and come prepared.

Happy Pumpkin hunting from Sauvie Island Farms

2025 Pick Your Own season at Sauvie Island Farms

 Important Update about Sauvie Island Farms for the 2025 season!

This year at Sauvie Island Farms the u-pick farm will look different.

Our old peach orchard has now been completely removed as well as the pear trees. As our raspberries also were aging and need to be completely replaced or removed, we have removed both the red and yellow raspberries.  As the farmer and his wife are also aging we are 'slow quitting'.  Not retiring yet, but slowing down a bit.  

WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES. 

Our u-pick will be SELF SERVE.  No one will be at the farm to assist you.  Come prepared to pay using CASH or VENMO.  Also bring your own clippers, buckets or whatever you will need while at the farm. We will NOT be providing boxes, clippers or wagons this year.


Our season begins with U-CUT PEONIES.  $1.00 per bloom  Open May 24

A few other perennials are in bloom, sage, chives, carnation pinks, lupine, & Dame's rocket @$5 per bundle. (what  you can wrap your thumb and index finger around)

For the rest of the season this is what we will have for u-pick:

STRAWBERRIES-Mary's Peak  not ripe yet and not a large crop this year, but coming soon!


BLUEBERRIES-Early Blues & Blue Crop   ripe mid June-July

MARIONBERRIES  ripe early July

SWEET CORN  ripe August
PICKLING CUKES  ripe August

FLOWERS- Peonies, Lavender, Shasta Daisies, Dahlias, Zinnias, Sunflowers, Herbs

You can find updates and availability on our facebook page or by calling our farm line @ 503-621-3988

We will NOT be taking orders or fresh picking.

We so appreciate all of our loyal customers over the years, and we hope that we can still provide a peaceful farm for you to pick berries and flowers at this year.

For those crops that we no longer offer, there are several farms operating on Sauvie Island that have berries, peaches and veggies.  We hope you will find one that you enjoy.

End of the Season

 The season is coming to a close at Sauvie Island Farms.

We do have a few O'Henry peach trees that have nice peaches on them, but they are not tree ripened yet.

There is a nice patch of Sweet Corn, Chester blackberries, Blue Crop blueberries and beautiful flowers blooming in the u-cut garden.


September 2-7 the farm will be open 9-5 for Self Serve only.   No one will be at the farm to assist you. Bring your own containers and clippers.  We will have instructions at the farm.  Pay using CASH or VENMO only.
  

We did this at the end of the season last year, and had an issue with theft (our scale), but are going to do it again this year.  It is your last chance to bring home more berries, corn, peaches-if they ever ripen and beautiful flowers from our farm.
