Fishing? Kid's group camping? Day camps?
Summer activities? Horseback riding?
More agricultural education?
We really want to expand our work with
SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN... do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for helping us grow to meet the needs of our community!
Welcome to
TWISTED CREEK RANCH
and Pumpkin Patch!
OPEN OCTOBER 8th - 30th
Twisted Creek Ranch is a family owned and operated, twenty acre farm located just outside the historic town of Estacada, Oregon. We currently have three generations of our family living and working on the farm! We raise many different kinds of animals on the farm... Chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, cows and our miniature donkey "Chance"!
We opened to the public in 2005 when we decided to create a "family friendly" pumpkin patch. You won't find any spooky stuff here. We focus on celebrating the harvest and the beautiful fall season! During the month of October, you will find fresh vegetables, seasonal fall flowers, decorative corn stalks, gourds and of course... pumpkins! Our General Store is full of unique merchandise, antiques and yummy treats.
After taking 2008 off for construction, we are happy to be back in action for 2009! We have a great line-up of events scheduled for this year... including a new website (we are still working on)! We are currently taking reservations for our fun and educational tours for SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN'S GROUPS on weekdays. (Call or email for reservations).
Public Days:
Thursday - Sunday, 9-5
School and Children's Groups:
Tuesday - Friday (By reservation.)
Closed on Monday
