Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles

Mr. Jack O' Lanterns has run pop-up pumpkin lots around Los Angeles for more than 20 years, setting up seasonal locations in West L.A., Torrance, and beyond each October. The lots stock pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and costumes, plus games and pumpkin-carving stations for kids. The Hollywood address on file handles wholesale and delivery rather than walk-up retail — check current listings before heading out, since lot locations shift year to year.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles Haunted Hayride runs each fall through Griffith Park, combining a wooded-canyon hayride with haunted-maze walkthroughs, a carnival midway, and live scare actors. Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, one of the largest Halloween attraction operators in the country, produces it, typically opening select nights from mid-September through early November. Posted age advisory: the event may be too intense for children 12 and under.

Culver City

Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch takes over a lot on Jefferson Boulevard in Culver City every October, running pumpkin sales alongside carnival rides, food vendors, and photo ops from roughly October 4 through Halloween. It books school field trips and private parties too. Hours run later as Halloween approaches, from 9 AM to 9 PM early in the month and 9 AM to 10 PM in the final two weeks, with wood-chip ground underfoot and onsite parking.

Los Angeles

T & A Farms is listed on Cliff Drive in the Cypress Park/Elysian Valley area of Los Angeles, along the stretch of the LA River near Rio de Los Angeles State Park. Small growing operations in this pocket of the city sit close to the river's restored riparian corridor.

Los Angeles

Shawn's Pumpkin Patch sets up each fall at the corner of Sepulveda and Jefferson on the Los Angeles–Culver City line. Beyond the pumpkin selection, the seasonal lot runs a petting zoo, pony rides, a mini straw maze, a train ride, bounce houses, and face painting. Admission runs $3 per person, ages 12 and up, and includes a $2 voucher toward a pumpkin. No reservations — just show up during the season.

Al-Salam Farms sits along Whittier Boulevard in the 90023 ZIP code on Los Angeles's Eastside, an industrial and residential corridor rather than open farmland. 'Al-Salam' is Arabic for 'the peace,' one of the few outward clues to what this urban-pocket operation raises or grows.

Venice

Lopez Ranch runs a seasonal pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot in Venice, one of the pop-up lots that supply cut trees and pumpkins to the Los Angeles Westside each fall and winter.

Los Angeles

Fallen Fruit is a Los Angeles public art project, not a commercial farm. Artists David Burns and Austin Young plant and map fruit trees on public land for anyone to pick, including through the Endless Orchard, an open map where anyone can log real fruit trees growing in public spaces worldwide. Site-specific installations and community events make up the rest of the project's work.

Bryan Castro has run live bee removal and rescue out of Sherman Oaks since 2012, pulling honeybee colonies out of walls, trees, and attics across Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, and out to Bakersfield rather than exterminating them. Removal starts around $260. Calls go straight to cell phones and get answered any time, though service runs during daylight hours.

Pasadena

Pasadena Pumpkin Patch operates seasonally on North Lake Avenue, in Pasadena's Lake Avenue shopping corridor east of the Rose Bowl. No public listing confirms this lot's specific hours, activities, or operating dates.

Downey

Honey Pacifica has moved beehives across Southern California apiaries since 1979, when Nick Poto — known around the neighborhood as the Midnight Beekeeper — turned a science-fair hobby into a family business while working an aerospace day job. His wife Jean sold the first jars from a roadside stand; the honey now ships raw and unfiltered from a Downey warehouse to Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, and farmers markets across the region.

Altadena

Klausesbees is a small Altadena honey operation selling raw, unfiltered wildflower honey harvested from Angeles Crest, Cow Hill, and low-desert bee yards. Seasonal varietals include Black Sage and Wooly Blue Curl, alongside raw honeycomb, bee pollen, beeswax, propolis, and honey soap. There's no storefront — find them at the Monrovia Family Festival on Friday evenings or the La Cañada Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings, cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal accepted.

Encino

Tapia Brothers Corn Maze sits on Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino, in the San Fernando Valley, a basin known today for subdivisions and shopping centers, though truck farms and orchards once covered much of the same ground.

sun valley

This listing on Clybourn Ave in Sun Valley sits in the neighborhood's wholesale nursery district, a cluster of plant and landscape businesses along the San Fernando Valley's eastern edge. No pumpkin patch, u-pick, or petting zoo activity was confirmed for this address.

Encino

Tapia Bros. Farm has sold fruit and vegetables from its Hayvenhurst Avenue stand in Encino since 1982, drawing shoppers off the 101 freeway for sweet corn, onions, zucchini, strawberries, chili peppers, and tomatoes grown on family land in the San Fernando Valley and near Lancaster. The stand becomes a pumpkin patch each fall and sells cut Christmas trees in winter. Every March it hosts Tomatomania, a heirloom tomato seedling sale.

Torrance

Bob and Joanne Cottone and Sons run a seasonal tree lot or pumpkin patch out of the Del Amo Fashion Square parking lot in Torrance — a common arrangement for South Bay growers who lease mall lots for a few weeks each fall or winter rather than farming year-round acreage. No verified current dates or offerings found online this session.

Whittier

This seasonal lot on Whittier Blvd sells pumpkins in October and switches to cut Christmas trees for the holidays, a common pairing for stands in the Whittier area of Los Angeles County.

Mission Hills

Forneris Farms has grown produce in the same corner of the San Fernando Valley for more than a century, on Rinaldi Street in Mission Hills. The farm stand is known locally for its tomatoes, with strawberries running through spring and tomatoes from summer into late fall, plus a seasonal pumpkin patch, corn maze, and train ride. Cash only, the fields themselves aren't open for self-picking. Open daily, 8am-6pm.

Cerritos

"Fallstivities" pumpkin patch set up in the Sears parking lot at Los Cerritos Center mall each October. Pumpkins and decorating kits are for sale alongside inflatable jumpers, rock climbing, pumpkin painting, and trick-or-treating on the last day of the run.

Long Beach

A seasonal pumpkin patch near Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach's Belmont Shore area. Beyond a name and a location, little independent information surfaces online — worth a call before visiting to confirm it's still running each fall.

Topanga

Eli's Bee Company is on Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Topanga, California, in the Santa Monica Mountains, chaparral and canyon terrain that beekeepers in the area work for sage and wildflower honey.

Long Beach

Cal Wine Cellars operates out of a storefront suite on East 1st Street in downtown Long Beach's East Village Arts District — an address that points to an urban tasting room or wine shop rather than an estate vineyard. No verified details on hours, offerings, or contact info turned up online this session.

Chatsworth

The Valley Hive bills itself as the only beekeeping supply shop in the San Fernando Valley, selling raw, unfiltered local honey alongside hive tools and gear. A live observation hive and honey tastings run during shop hours, and Sunday mornings bring a hands-on beekeeping class for anyone who wants to open a hive themselves. It reads more like a working apiary with a counter than a typical retail shop.

This listing covers Knott's Scary Farm, the annual Halloween haunt held at Knott's Berry Farm amusement park in Buena Park each fall, not a working farm. Expect haunted mazes, scare zones, and after-dark scares layered onto the historic theme park on select nights through Halloween.

Canoga Park

Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center preserves 24 acres of oil pioneer William Orcutt's original 210-acre estate in West Hills, run today by LA's Recreation and Parks Department. The 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival ranch house sits among citrus orchards and rose gardens, with a coast live oak measuring 32 feet around and estimated at 700 years old. The grounds host public fruit-picking days and event rentals for weddings.

A pumpkin patch fundraiser tied to a youth mentorship organization at 17939 Gale Avenue in the City of Industry area. Current operating status wasn't verifiable online — this reads as a community-run seasonal lot rather than a commercial farm.

Calabasas

The City of Calabasas runs this one-day fall festival at Juan Bautista de Anza Park, 3701 Lost Hills Road, typically the third Sunday in October from 10am to 5pm. Expect a vendor marketplace, a pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving and painting stations, live music, a food court, and a beer garden hosted by the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce. Free parking is available at Agoura Road and Lost Hills.

Acton

Dude's Ranch sits in Acton, the high-desert foothill town northeast of Santa Clarita where much of the region's horse-ranch and trail-riding agritourism is concentrated. No verified details on this property's current hours, activities, or offerings turned up online this session — worth a call before making the drive out.

Brea

Enchanted Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal pumpkin patch on North State College Boulevard in Brea, in the pattern of the pop-up lot patches common across Orange County each October. No confirmed details on hours, activities, or hayride offerings beyond the pumpkin sales.

Garden Grove

The Jack O'Lantern Jamboree is a seasonal pumpkin event in Garden Grove, one of the October community pop-ups Orange County cities and churches host each fall on park grounds and parking lots.

Placentia

A seasonal pumpkin patch at 300 East Yorba Linda Boulevard in Placentia, typical of the pop-up patches that open across Orange County parking lots each October. No independent website or listing turned up beyond the address itself, so confirm current operating status before planning a visit.

Pomona

Run by Cal Poly Pomona's Huntley College of Agriculture, this Kellogg Ranch store sells fresh produce grown by students, fresh-squeezed CPP orange juice, and campus-made items like Nonna's Meatball Mix, open daily 10am-6pm. Curbside pickup runs through orderfarmstore.com, and the attached nursery sells plants separately.
