Spring is upon us!  That means it's time for...

Farm To You!

Who else but Twisted Creek Ranch would load up a 20' trailer full of farm animals (with lots of spring babies) and bring the FARM TO YOU!  We'll pull up right in your school's parking lot and set up a mini farm wonderland!  Starting in the classroom, students will learn some history of farming, where there food comes from and what the different animals do on a farm.

The children will learn some agriculture with a planting project.  Last (but never least) they will meet and get to know our farm critters. 

It's a fabulous field trip at your own  school! 

 Welcome to
TWISTED CREEK RANCH
and Pumpkin Patch!

   2009: 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). 

 School and Children's Groups:

Tuesday - Friday (By reservation.)
