Liepold Farms Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch

Drove 30 min here for the train ride because it was advertised on their website. There is no train ride. Apparently their website didn’t get updated from last year. Really? This only happens once a year and you couldn’t update it from last year? Not many free activities and everything else is overpriced. Not impressed.

This is a tough one for me. I’m a faithful Liepold Farm customer. Each year my family and I come to the farm for the pumpkin patch and activities.
In between a 2 and 3 star, so I’ll round up only because of the good previous years.
I’ll keep this simple…
Pros:
— Kids pavilion. I love how it’s covered, my kiddos always have a ball in it.
— Their hay ride has improved since last year, it’s more of a figure 8 instead of the circle.
— Neat props to take pictures in or on.
Cons:
— The food. Their food selection has not only gone up in price, but the overall quality is ridiculous. $ 3.00 for 1 microwaved hot pocket. $ 3.00 for 1 microwaved burrito (what comes in a 10 pack for $ 2.99 at your local grocery store).
— No train ride like before and advertised.
— Prices. I came expecting to spend a good chunk of change, like every year… But all their prices raised this year
We will be going elsewhere next year. Thanks for the memories, while they lasted, Liepold.

Over priced pumpkins, staff that doesn’t care, the corn maze wasn’t that good, but the check out lady was awesome and so were the Carmel apples. Yum. Just going here for the apples from now on.

I will give 3 stars only because my daughter had fun. I felt I needed to come on here to express that the prices for this place are outrageous for a pumpkin patch. They charge a dollar to toss rotten fruit. The food is crazy expensive $ 7 for a hotdog and $ 12 for a sandwich. $ 6 for a Budlight. A budlight! I paid $ 18 for 2 med pumpkins. $ 3 for a 2 minute hay ride. I will not be returning. It is unfortunate that they are not making it affordable for most families to enjoy. The website even says «most things are free» What!!! Anyways save your money. It’s a pumpkin patch in Gresham for christs sake. PCC puts one on for free. We will be going there next year

This was a tough one for my husband and I. We both have truly enjoyed Liepold Farms in the past two years – we are not experts in «pumpkin patching». The rating truly falls between a 3.5 and 4.
What we have found to enjoy at Liepold’s are the variety of attractions for the little littles to the grown kids in the family. We return for the produce catapult (last year was mini pumpkins and this year it was apples), the kid’s pavilion for our 2 year old, the corn maze (this years «Dead End Challenge» was very enjoyable) and the pumpkin patch of course.
Liepold’s can boast of its cleanliness, festive farm charm and very friendly staff – we have had no negative staff encounters. Liepold’s also offers plenty of photo opportunities with photo stand ins, large hay bail spiders and pumpkins, general access to staged farm equipment and Flinstone themed sets.
Where Liepold’s loses a star to a star and a half is the food and maze pricing, the quality of the more «affordable» food and the crowd that accumulates in the late morning hours (i.e., 10:15/10:30) relative to the quaintness of Liepold’s fall festival venue.
Last year we did not have the opportunity to try the food but this year we ended our ventures around the early lunch hour so we thought we would give it a try. We were pretty surprised by the BBQ pit pricing – 9.00 to 9.50 for a pulled meat (chicken or pork) sandwich. Disappointed (the BBQ smelled glorious), we had to opt for the «affordable» food due to our dwindling budget from paying a base price of $ 8 for 2 adults and $ 6 for our 2 year old to access the maze with $ 1 added to the adult tickets for the «Dead End» challenge, $ 16 for 1 small pumpkin and 2 medium pumpkins, $ 1 for the kid catapult and $ 2 for the kids pavilion. Please note we are not expecting «amazing» quality when ordering a corn dog – this is not lost on us. We ended up being able to afford 2 corn dogs and the «free“popcorn (both regular and caramel) offered for completing the «Dead End» challenge. With my parents also in the same budget boat, they ordered a corn dog and the philly steak sandwich. We all overwhelmingly labeled the food we purchased as «bad» (including the stale or burnt popcorn). There did not seem to be any redeeming qualities in the food we ordered in fact we ended up discarding the popcorn – we apologize for the wastefulness but it did not seem edible.
Thankfully our food experience and our budget issues did not retract from our overall enjoyment of the farm. We felt that despite this experience, the attractions and charm of Liepold’s is enough to bring us back next year.
We definitely recommend arriving in the early morning hours as the farm opens before the crowd accumulates and the quiet charm of the farm can be most appreciated. Enjoy the maze (despite the pricing; it seems pretty similar to other corn maze options in the Portland area that we have tried in previous years) and perhaps consider the complete attraction pass to save a couple dollars.

What a fun place to take the family! My kids loved everything:) everyone was so nice and helpful, great choices for pumpkins, the hay ride was a blast the kids loved it. And the smell of the carmel corn made me not want to leave, and we shared a carmel apple that was amazing!!! We love fall rain or shine and they know how to do it!!! Loved this place can’t wait to take the kids back next year

Such a GREAT place to take your whole family for some FUN on the farm.

COME JOIN FUN @ THE FARM:)

Always fun rain or sun. Activities for little and well pre teen. Pumpkin grab field better than most. Food a little speedy but its the memories right. Less crowded so far but maybe im wrecking that. Flintstone theme this year made the maze a good time

Altogether too many people and far too costly. Over 40 dollars to take our family, not including anything to eat, or any pumpkins. More than 10 dollars for a half-​hearted face painting for a 5 year old? No thanks.
Quarter-​mile line in the hot sun to pay too much for a bruised pumpkin also did not sound like fun. I wish I had been in the mood to pay too much for beer, that might have made the long waits worth it, assuming you could drink your beer in line, which you cant.

Beautiful setting, great selection of pumpkins, super friendly staff, fun corn maze, delicious food, nice selection of local beers and wines.

Geared for kids (easy corn maze, hay ride) and adults (local tap list, including Laurelwood pumpkin), Liepold isn’t a half-​bad place to get your fall on. Our adult group couldn’t find an actual pumpkin patch — just a plot w/​pre-​picked gourds — but we did find a pumpkin launcher: $ 1 for 3 baby pumpkins to shoot at targets. 30 shots and we failed to hit a target, but it was worth it!

Liepold’s is great. We visit every year and enjoy going through the corn maze. The kids area is better this year with the addition of a digging area. They now serve beer and wine too!
Our kids love crawling through the hay maze here and launching pumpkins.

I have been going to this farm every October since I was a little kid. I am 21 now.
Obviously being 21 the «fun» aspect isn’t as thrilling as it use to be for me. That being said, this review is not based whatsoever on how fun it is. This review is based on the staff.
My sister, a friend and I went to Liepolds Farm this past Halloween. It felt like it only took 10minutes to get through the corn maze. (Not upset though cause we are older and that maze is made for little ones). Because we got through the maze so fast, we wanted to see some more of the attractions that they put into the maze before we exited the maze. The attractions are actually pretty fun and cute. We paid quite a bit of money for such a little amount of time, so we decided to walk through a few more of the attractions to get our money’s worth.
While we were walking around a lady came up to is with her two kids, didn’t introduce herself or anything, just immediately barked at us saying that we had to pay for the maze again. She was very rude in how she approached us. We were nice though and said to her that we were simply just seeing some more of the attractions, and that we weren’t going through the maze backwards.
She kept saying we had to pay again. Finally she left. That completely ruined our trip. Being treated like criminals for simply looking at the decorations that the staff took time to build. Once we exited the maze we saw her by the barn area where they sell caramel apples, just staring us down again like we were criminals. We spoke to another lady who was staff and explained what happened and that lady said «she doesn’t even work here, she is just one of the daughters». The lady we spoke to then was very nice and seemed upset that «the daughter» treated us like that.
When we got home, we called to talk to the owner. Not to ask for money back, or ask for anything really, we just wanted her to know that, that lady ruined the maze for us for no reason. The owner we talked to was rude and basically said we were lying.
It was just sad to be treated that way. I’ve lived in that area since I was born. Been to that farm every year of my life, and I was treated like a criminal the last time I was there.
Needless to say, I won’t be back there. I will not recommend this farm anymore.

What a waste of time. Their security guard called me «stupid» for parking, apparently in handicap parking. No marking, no idea, then pointed to a stop sign 20′ away and said «it’s pretty obvious». Their pumpkinds suck, nobody to help you get your receipt to pay, and only take cash. Put it on your GOD DAMN WRBSITE!!! It’s 2013. Figure it out. And their «animals a nd attractions»? Absolutely horrendous… this place is an absolute joke. Never again.

We love Liepold’s Fall Festival! After going to Bizi’s and others we have a great time there.
It’s fun when the Burgerville truck and Firefighters are in site. My kids look forward to it every year,
