Sweet Thistle Farms is a boutique cut flower farm at the base of the foothills in Clovis, California, open seasonally. It offers a complete pumpkin patch experience in a beautiful countryside setting with great scenery. Visitors will find a huge variety of pumpkins in all sizes, colors, and textures, some unique. The farm provides a fun atmosphere with farm animals, a free tractor ride, and a free farm train. There are picnic tables, plenty of space for parking and walking, and many photo opportunities. The owners are meticulous and put a ton of energy into the farm. It is a cute, sweet little place for fall family fun, well worth a visit for kiddos. Parking has a fee, with a discount available for paying online. Visitors should note there is very little shade, so bringing water, a hat, and sunscreen is advised. The ground is uneven with dirt, hay, and rocks, so solid shoes are recommended. Everything is included with parking except purchasing pumpkins, sold by the pound, or items from vendors.
The place charged $30 per car just to go in and park. Little pumpkin patch, with a short hayride, lots of chickens and goats to look at. Little stands were pricey and the place charged $15 per mason jar just to pick wild flowers out in the field. Not sure if it was really worth the drive out there
