Co-op Calendar 

This year, North Coast Co-op celebrates 30 years of providing school children across our county with an educational field trip to a working farm during the North Coast Co-op Pumpkin Patch event. Over the course of two weeks, approximately 4,000 students, along with teachers and parents will travel to Warren Creek Farms in the Arcata Bottoms where they will learn about local agriculture, pollination and dry farming. After some time exploring the pumpkin patch and learning organic farming, each child gets to choose their own pumpkin to take home, provided by North Coast Co-op’s Cooperative Community Fund.

There are over 25 varieties of pumpkins growing, from the tiny Wee-B-Little pumpkins to the classic Howdens, to the lumpy Knuckle Heads, to the bright red-orange Cinderellas. Travel through the corn maze and out into the pumpkin patch to choose your own pumpkin, or just drop into the farm stand to choose from pre-picked pumpkins, squash, beans and potatoes fresh from the farm. Be sure to take in the breeze, the pastures and the towering sunflowers while you are there.
