U-pick pumpkinsNeck Road Produce is ranked #1 on this list, located at 18945 SE Neck Rd, Dayton, OR, 97114. It carries a 5.0-out-of-5 rating on Google from 32 reviews, which puts it among the more established pumpkin patches we track near Dayton. Beyond the pumpkin field itself, it's tagged for u-pick pumpkins, so there's usually more to a visit than just picking a pumpkin and heading home.
Google hasn't surfaced a set of recurring review themes for Neck Road Produce yet, so there isn't a themed summary of what visitors say to pass along here — the star rating and review count above remain the clearest public signal until more detail comes in. Neck Road Produce is one of the farms we track with a u-pick pumpkin patch, which typically means true u-pick means walking into a growing field and cutting a pumpkin off the vine yourself. it is the version of the experience most people picture, and it is worth checking for specifically — a great many farms advertis…
Based on its public listing, Neck Road Produce is typically open Monday 6AM-9PM, Tuesday 6AM-9PM, Thursday 6AM-9PM, Friday 6AM-9PM, Saturday 6AM-9PM, Sunday 6AM-9PM. Pumpkin patch hours shift often during the season — expect longer hours the two or three weekends around mid-October and shorter, sometimes weekend-only hours toward either end of the season — so treat this as a strong starting point rather than a guarantee. Admission pricing isn't listed for Neck Road Produce either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. It accepts cash-only and checks, though it's still smart to carry some cash — field admission and wagon rides at farms like this are sometimes handled separately from the main store.
Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Neck Road Produce can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
Neck Road Produce sits, near Dayton, OR, with parking typically in a grass field rather than a paved lot — allow a few extra minutes on busy weekends for staff or volunteers to direct traffic, and if you're navigating by GPS rather than the link on this page, search the farm name directly rather than just the street address, since rural addresses sometimes route to the wrong gate.

In the farm's own words: "Vast family-run farm featuring organic fruits & vegetables, a seasonal corn maze & kids' activities." Bella Organic Farm is one of the farms we track with a corn maze, which typically means a corn maze is cut into a standing field in late summer and stays open until the stalks are harvested, which is why most mazes open a week or two after the pumpkin patch itself and close hard at the end of the season. si…

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkin in Oregon?
Based on rating and review volume, Neck Road Produce ranks first among the u-pick pumpkin patches we track in Oregon, with a 5.0-out-of-5 rating. See the full breakdown above, or its <a href="/oregon/dayton/neck-road-produce/">full listing</a> for hours and directions.
What does "u-pick" actually mean at a pumpkin patch?
True u-pick means walking into a growing field and cutting a pumpkin off the vine yourself, rather than choosing from a pile of pumpkins trucked in and arranged near the barn. Both are common — if cutting from the vine matters to you, call ahead and ask whether the field is still open, especially late in the season.
When is u-pick season in Oregon?
Most u-pick fields open alongside the rest of the pumpkin season, roughly mid-to-late September through the first days of November, and smaller growers can pick out and switch to a pre-picked pile before the season officially ends. Check the listings above or call ahead to confirm the field is still open.
What should I bring to pick my own pumpkin?
Gloves and, ideally, your own shears — pumpkin vines are prickly, and a cleanly cut stem two to four inches long keeps a pumpkin fresh far longer than one twisted off by hand. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy, since fields are working farmland, not paved lots.
Are these u-pick patches good for young kids?
It depends on the farm and how far the field is from parking. Check the individual listing pages above for feature tags like a petting zoo or kids' play area, and call ahead if you're planning around young children or strollers.
