Bushue's Family Farm: Pumpkin Patch

Bushue’s Family Farm hosts an awesome pumpkin patch every fall in Boring, Oregon. Check out all the fun you and your family can have at this pumpkin patch.

Another fun pumpkin patch near Portland, OR is the Bushue’s Family Farm. We were so lucky to get to go here several years in a row for a private boy scout event, because it is tremendously fun to make a dirt baby. I don’t understand why, but kids love to make dirt babies.

In addition to making dirt babies you can go on hay rides, cow train rides, hay maze, see the farm animals play on their big slide, donuts, and more.

How to Make a Dirt Baby

panty hose (You will only need the feet and enough to tie off. The part you tie off needs to be able to reach down into the cup and absorb water.)
dirt
grass seed
plastic cup
glue gun
decorative items to make the face

Put a small amount of grass seed into the hose first and then add dirt. Tie off the hose and then decorate the face. Put water in a cup. Set dirt baby onto the cup (not down in the cup) so that the tied off hose is dipping into the water. In a short time your baby’s hair will grow!

Bushue’s Family Farm Pumpkin Patch is open September and October. hours are Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm (last hayride leaves at 4:30 pm) and we are closed on Mondays except for school groups/field trips.
