It is an annual tradition for our family to visit one or two farms in Ventura County for their great Pumpkin Patches. This year we visited the amazing Underwood Family Farm in Moorpark and took the Pumpkinliner train from Fillmore to the ICHABOG pumpkin patch.
I personally loved the corn maze at the Underwood Family Farm. Getting to the haystack pyramid at the center of Underwood Family Farm’s challenging corn maze almost seemed impossible. Once you get to the center of this corn maze, make sure to climb to the top to enjoy the beauty and serenity of Underwood Farm.
The Pumpkinliner train ride to ICHABOG pumpkin patch was an adventurous ride. It was a warm, sunny day and we sat on one of the train’s open air cars. The whole experience of boarding the train and waving to the motorists stopped at the crossings is a fantastic way to enjoy the beauty of the Santa Clara River Valley in Ventura County.
It was at the ICHABOG pumpkin patch that we met Doug Goodreau, an amazing pumpkin artist. Here are some of Doug’s great art works.
Wow, I never knew pumpkins could be made into such artistic sculptures! Impressive, thanks.

I might have to drop by Ventura County next break to check the festivities out =)
Steven, We would love to have you at our next pumpkin festivals.
We were planning to visit the McGrath farm this weekend. Maybe, we’ll change our plans based on this writeup. Thanks Mana.
Palmer, Have not checked out McGrath farm, but I really enjoyed Underwood Family Farm.
Hey the underwood farm sounds cool. We have not been to that one. Let us know next year when you go…..we will join you.
