Arata Pumpkin Farm 2026

Pumpkins have been a way of life at the Arata family farm on Verde Road in Half Moon Bay since 1932. The fall season brings the two-acre Minotaur's Labyrinth hay maze, a six-acre corn field with the Pumpkin River, hay rides, a train ride, guided pony rides, and a petting zoo. A haunted barn with live actors runs on weekend nights, and the farm keeps picnic areas open through the season.
