Farm Activities
Dan Cramer’s Western Town in Lynden has been providing a fall pumpkin experience for over a decade. Pumpkin enthusiasts will appreciate the wide selection of 30 different pumpkin varieties available at the farm. Visitors can also enjoy additional attractions, including draft horse rides to the pumpkin patch, a hay maze, tractor train rides, and more.
The farm features a variety of farm animals for children to observe, such as ducklings, baby rabbits, a baby donkey, turkeys, calves, goats, and sheep.
This location offers excellent opportunities for scenic photos, with stunning views of Mount Baker on clear days. For those with preschoolers, Fridays are a great choice, as Cramer offers specialized tours designed for young children and provides instructions on pumpkin cultivation.
Famous for its apples, but it also has a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and an Apple Bin Express train ride every fall!
Hop aboard the train and fill a bag of ripe apples. After that, head back toward the barn where you can stop by the corn maze, u-pick pumpkin patch, or the cafe for some fresh apple cider donuts and a slice of apple pie.
Travel Tip: Bellewood has grown-up fun too! Their distillery features “farm-to-table” spirits including brandy, vodka, and gin. Enjoy unique flavors like their Honeycrisp Vodka or Pumpkin Spice Liqueur.
Also in Lynden, the return of Scream Fair to the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds will be welcome news to adrenaline junkies hoping to scare up a good time. This year’s theme, “Nightmare Theater,” promises visitors will not only encounter “relics abandoned and left to rot in the dark,” but also “the ghosts of space, history, and time” who have awoken and are out for revenge. Needless to say, parental discretion is strongly advised. Friday & Saturday
October 20th & 21st
