If you’re planning a fun-filled family outing this fall while visiting Squamish or the Sea to Sky Corridor, check out North Arm Farms, nestled in the stunning Pemberton Valley. This family-owned and operated farm is a great spot to create lasting memories and soak in the spirit of the fall season.
At North Arm Farm’s pumpkin patch, you’ll find a day packed with traditional fall fun. This 55-acre working organic farm is a fantastic place for families. Whether you luck out with a sunny day or find yourself bundling up in your warm layers, latte in hand, hunting through the pumpkin patch for your perfect gourd is always an adventure. The field can get pretty muddy when it rains, so it’s always a good idea to have rain gear with you, just in case. Wheelbarrows are on hand to make hauling your pumpkins a breeze, and if the little ones get tired, wagon rides are available to give them a lift. If you’re not in the mood to pick your own pumpkins or prefer to choose from a selection of freshly harvested ones, there’s plenty to choose from on hand.
But it’s not just about the pumpkin patch. You can wander over to the animal pens to say hi to the pigs, sheep, and chickens, and let the kids climb on the old tractors to test out their driving skills. Aside from the hunt for pumpkins, my kids love the large swings and cozy campfires at the family-sized fire pits. And while you’re there, be sure to check out the tasty food options for lunch or brunch, including waffles, wraps, soups, and sandwiches. Not to mention the endless options to take home from their store including homemade pies, fresh produce, local meat, pickles, jams, sauces, preserves and much more.
Before you head out, it’s a good idea to check North Arm Farms website for their current hours. Typically, they run from 9 AM to 6 PM, and during October, wagon rides operate on weekends from 10 AM to 4 PM. If you’re hitting the road along the Sea to Sky Corridor, why not rent a car seat from us to keep things hassle-free and fun? The drive is beyond beautiful, and gives you plenty of chances to stop and enjoy other scenic spots along Highway 99. North Arm Farm’s is about an hour and a half drive from Squamish, with lots of scenic pullovers. You can even try stopping at Brandywine Falls or Nairn Falls along the way, both are quick hikes en route.

Looking to add some extra fun to your visit? Feeding the animals costs a loonie for a cup of food, and you can roast giant marshmallows for $1 or hot dogs for $4 by the fire on weekends, weather permitting. Coins are needed for the animal feed, but you can get change inside in a pinch.
