So thankful to my friends with toddlers who recommended this hidden gem for our almost 3 year old boy. It was not too crowded, very reasonable admission, cheerful staff eager to orient us and share some of the story behind the farm. Perfect pace for toddlers with simple toddler hay maze and corn maze. You walk a trail around their animal shelters and then reach the pumpkin farm which was arranged over plant fabric so easy to navigate even in the rain. We will be back and recommend to friends with younger kiddos! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE! They do a lot with the space. The whole thing was 1-2 hours of fun and not much walking until the next thing. I loveeee the tippi and rubber ducky waterslide. The goats you can pet were friendly and completely neutral to being petted. A goat was actually followed me a bit and I had to keep petting him lol! Birds were friendly, especially if you had food. They came running over when they're hungry and they do the cutest tail wag when they get a pellet. The enclosures seem pretty good size. Super family friendly, for $5 per person it is a steal. I would highly recommend anyone with kids or family to come. Lovely pumpkin patch, watch baby chicks hatch, feed farm birds...all really fun and a lot more interactive than the zoo. Great addition to the Edmond neighborhood. read more

A perfect outing for our 22 month old granddaughter. She petted the goats, fed the ducks and got to see rabbits, chicks, cows and pigs. The path was so pretty. read more

My family has gone here for years and it never disappoints! Kids love it, it's very affordable and the owners are great! It's so convenient that it's in the city but doesn't feel like it. read more

It's our annual October tradition to go to the farm and see the animals while choosing our pumpkins. The owner's daughters are extremely knowledgeable about which pumpkins are good for eating, and I always fill up an entire wheelbarrow full of treats. read more

It's a cute little farm. Parking is a little bit of a disaster. Very tight unless you find some outside. You get to pet the goats and feed the birds. I got to watch little chicks hatching the day we went. There were Mama pigs with their newborn piglets that were so cute! But another area of the pigs housing felt like it needed to cleaned up a little more, the smell was very strong. I wasn't a huge fan of the pumpkin area. It was a little bit in disarray and a lot of the pumpkins were rotted. There was a tiny little corn maze, but sadly it was very muddy, so rain boots are a must. The ending is a cute area to get pictures of the kids if you have some! If the place was a little more spruced up and a little more TLC I think it would be perfect. read more

This is the best farm/pumpkin patch for families with small children. They have a great set up where you can visit and feed the birds and see other animals before you finish by picking out the perfect pumpkin in their huge fields. Thanks for opening up your farm to the public to enjoy! read more

We loved it Such a great place , so worth it . Would totally go again . Very family friendly read more

My mother discovered this little gem! When we arrived we were so surprised! From outside you cannot tell how big it actually is. They have so many cute animals you can feed, touch and get close to ! My kiddos absolutely love animals so they had such a blast. They did not want to leave. The pumpkins are really big and tons to pick from. We will definitely make this our go to farm from now on. We loved everything about it nothing negative to say here! read more

The farm isn't the best farm there is, but there are a lot of baby animals and fun things for kids to do. Highly recommended for kids, but not so much for adults because it's very family-oriented. The pumpkin patch isn't all that great either; there is a very limited selection of nice pumpkins, but of course, it's for the experience. My favorite highlights were seeing the piglets, calf and baby goats! Best of all, you could pet most of them! It was incredible to see the baby animals and they have this chick incubator where there were at least 20 chicks inside. Pretty amazing. There are lots of photo opportunities and random thins for kids to play on, like a tunnel to crawl through, a "find the money" in a haystack activity, as well as a huge teepee for kids to run around in. I took my Little on a Sunday and it was packed! If the parking lot gets full, I'd suggest parking across the street by the houses. read more

This is a family tradition for us, we take the whole family there each October. This place is perfect for families with small kids, as there isn't any scary halloween stuff, just harvest themed decorations. We loved petting the goats, feeding the chickens, and picking pumpkins from a real field. Not commercialized like a lot of the other places around here. read more

So glad we discovered this place. We live nearby and it's a great option when we don't want to drive out for over an hour to the other more well known farms. Plenty of animals to keep small children entertained. read more

Before you go to Fairbank Animal Farm, there's a few things you need to do. First, wait until October of each year because that is when they are open to the public. Second, pick up cash ahead of time because that's all they take and there is no ATM nearby. My first visit to the farm was two years ago. I was a little tired of driving from Seattle to different pumpkin patches and wanted to find something closer. After a bit of searching on the google machine, I decided on this one. Admission will run you $2.50. Upon entering, you are provided with a cup of food to feed the birds. Don't forget to bring enough cash for your pumpkins and do your math ahead of time since there is no "cash register," just manual adding which may or may not be correct. I love the country feel of the farm - it makes for a lot of great pictures. Lots of hay bales, country displays, and fall decorations are everywhere. I have to say that I am afraid that I will be there when it gets dark because the same fun loving farm can easily turn into a pretty decent horror movie. (Note to self: Ask for permission to film cheap B movie.) Anyhow, when you enter the farm, you will find multiple varieties of ducks and chickens in cages that you can feed. Also in cages are pygmy goats (super cute) and pigs (kind of cute, depending on size). A barn holds a few more animals but from my perspective, the bunnies and chicks steal the show. There is an incubator where chicks are in various stages of hatching and another area where older chicks are. Kids love to "pet" the animals but be sure to use the hand sanitizer. After browsing around the farm, you can grab a cart and head up the hill to check out some pumpkins and a little mini-corn maze. The pumpkin prices are marked on the pumpkins. A medium-smallish pumpkin is between $8 - $10 so plan accordingly since it's cash only. If you're looking for huge bells and whistles like other pumpkin patches, this isn't for you. But, if you're looking to buy your pumpkins from somewhere other than a grocery store and a bit of a country feel, then you are in the right place. read more

I had driven past this place for years and never gave it a look. After our pumpkin patch day ended up scheduled on a day where there were sporadic downpours I suggested we try this place closer to home instead of venturing out to Snohomish to only get stuck in rain. The animals were ADORABLE. From feeding all the birds to handing out to watch the baby pigs, the little ones had a blast. Only giving 4/5 stars as the pumpkins were WAY overpriced. Next time we will just visit for the animals and skip the pumpkins. read more

The Farm was a neat little place in Edmonds. Went with Grandson and he had a great time as there are many animals and their pumpkin patch is big. Was pretty crowded Saturday morning but it was manageable. No great pumpkin sightings but maybe next year read more

Love this place for our kids. Lots of cute animals and seems like we always see recently hatched chicks. We were lucky enough to see newborn piglets the last time we visited. read more

Great little farm first time taking my sister there. It was nice that it was in the neighborhood and still felt like a pumpkin patch .

Charming little pumpkin patch with farm animals your little one can pet. Looking at Fairbank outside we thought parking and navigating our large jogger stroller would be an issue, but we had no problem getting in and out or moving our stroller through the farm. read more

I want to give them a 5 so bad! But I can't this sweet pregnant goat protecting this tiny goat behind here was terrified! I mean the kids were running around chasing the animals and terrifying the animals, and the employees were not stepping and removing the animals from scary situations. It's not right to use them for our entertainment. Protect your Animals Please read more

On Friday, 10/25/13, I took a group of 15 young adults with intellectual disabilities-who paid $6 each to visit the animals and pick a pumpkin. The condition the animals were living in were deplorable; it smelled so badly of feces (as if it had not been cleaned for months); the cages seem inadequate and run down, and were just full of mud/feces. There was a little duck that was obviously not doing well when we first arrived. Before long, he was on the ground (nearly dead). His foot was twitching for a little while then he died. We told 'farmer Kathy ' our tour leader and she did nothing; we were not the only group there. (see attached pictures of the living conditions of the ducks) Many school groups with very young children followed us and the dead duck remained in the pen. I have made a report to animal control and Pasado's Safe Haven. The pumpkin 'patch' was nothing more then a grassy patch filled with mud where pumpkins were dumped for kids to 'pick'. The whole tour took about 25 minutes-a huge waste of money. This so called 'farm' deserves to get shut down. Do not take your family here. read more

This is our second year bringing our toddler and baby. This place is great! It's a real farm that is only open to public during October. For 3 bucks a person you get to see a nice variety of animals that you can pet and feed. The best part of the animals is seeing baby ducks and newly hatched chicks! They have adorable baby goats too! There is a tiny hay bale tunnel and a hay area the kids can play in. Up the hill are a great selection of pumpkins right where they were actually grown. They provide wheel barrows for the pumpkins which the kids can also ride in. The prices are reasonable and the family who runs the place are very friendly. Addressing some negative reviews: -conditions for the animals seem fine....very farm like. The animals look happy and healthy. Yes, you may smell some animal feces in some of the areas, but last time I checked animals are still pooping. -the pumpkins are not just thrown in a field. I've been 2 years in a row and have not seen this. Bring cash!! read more

This is the perfect place to get pumpkins for anyone with young kids. Lot's of excellent baby photo opportunities. I don't know what people are going on about with the conditions of animals at the farm, I am usually sensitive to stuff like that and all the animals seemed happy to be there and had nice big enclosures. read more

Prices are super fair, but it is cash only. Parking is awful, and children are not monitored by volunteers at all. But you can pet animals and get some okay pumpkins. Definitly fun. read more

Just went there with my wife and daughter. I can't believe anyone has not called animal welfare on this place. All of the birds looked horrible. No clean drinking water as you can see in some of the pics. Most I saw were drinking out of mud puddles. Pigs and goats were in ok shape. Birds were f**ked. Someone needs to do an inspection there. Nice people but CMON MAN!!! read more

This is a lovely local farm and a blessing to our community. My children adored seeing the animals and it is just the right size for young kids to go around, take some photographs and buy a pumpkin. We will be back next year, in fact I will be bringing our girl scout troop! read more

This is a dreadful place to bring your children. Or anybody. My kid's preschool insisted on schlepping the children here each year. The only reason anybody goes here is because it's close to Seattle and easy to access. Bull calves were being kept cooped up in small indoor pens. When I asked if they were ever let into pasture, I was met with a blank stare. I have to guess that the poor things are probably being confined as veal calves. (Note I am not a vegetarian; I just believe in humane treatment of livestock.) There was a free-roaming cat with kittens--seriously, kittens? Ever hear of spay/neuter and overpopulation of cats? Visit the Seattle animal shelter sometime and see all the unwanted cats there. Not enlightened or educational thinking going on here. Filthy animal pens, tightly confined creatures--I was so glad when the preK finally shifted over to visiting a pleasant farm on the Eastside. read more

Our little family really enjoyed the little farm. We will definitely be back next year! Only complaint, we won't be buying our pumpkins from them. They were FAR more expensive than anywhere else in town. Other wise we loved everything about the experience. read more

If there was a (-10), that would be my rating. I cannot believe this place has not been shut down. I went here and the ONLY outdoor potty was filled almost to the top with poop. Yes, seriously...it was that bad. The feces in the pens are mixed with the mud and the kids are put in there 20-30 at a time, slipping because of the mud. The animals do not look healthy and I can't imagine the amount of germs floating. This is only made worse by the fact that all the purell stations are empty!! It's not enjoyable at all. It's completely run down. Looks like a junkyard with piles of waste. The people who work there don't care!!! They don't want you to touch anything and they didn't care that the bathrooms are gross. The school bus drivers that I ran into said they didn't like this place, didn't know why it's still open...and "something is really wrong here". DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE. It's the most horrible place I've been. read more

This is a little hole in the wall in Edmonds that I went to as a chaperone for my daughters preschool field trip. It was a little hard to find because you are not expecting it from the main road. You would not stumble upon this place. I believe it was $10 per child to go into this animal farm/pumpkin patch. When you get in you notice that they really love what they do their! It is a family run business so please go and support them. It has limited parking so you won't find huge crowds here but they will deliver on a good time. We did the tour since we were on a field trip, not sure if that happens on the weekends. They took us to multiple areas to pet/look at animals. Their pigs and piglets are the cutest! They have a nice size garden to look at. They really use every bit of land here to make it fun. There is a field of sugar pumpkins at the end for the kids to grab and take home. Very interactive and lots of fun! read more

I love this pumpkin patch/ animal farm. To be honest, we don't go for the pumpkins, but for the animals. Even though I've heard of great pumpkin patches in the outlying areas, I keep bringing my daughter here because of the up close experience with the animals. My favorite part of this place is the Pygmy goat pen, and I could honestly stay in there all day if my daughter didn't drag me out to go get pumpkins. I'm still trying to figure out how to steal a baby Pygmy goat. Just kidding. Not really. We went to Fairbank last week and discovered that one of the sows was giving birth to her piglets right then. My daughter was absolutely fascinated, and we were able to stand right in front of the action and watch one of the farmers assist the mama, rub the piglets with hay, and set them down near the mama to learn to walk and feed. It was amazing, and the farmer was very good with the children, answering all of their questions and letting them pet a 10-minute old piglet. I'm glad we've made this place a part of our autumn traditions, and will be returning next year. read more

Love this place! Had driven past it for years but after going trying to go to Bob's and seeing how busy it was we decided to go here! Best decision. As a 20 something female with no kids this was a great place to go have some low key fun, pet some goats and horses, get a pumpkin and call it good. read more

This was the worst "farm" Ive ever been to. There was literally rotting wood and piles of tires lying around. The animal part is just farm animals behind chicken wire in make-shift pens- the geese and ducks just had a kiddie pool full dirty water. I felt sorry for the animals. The pumpkin patch is just a small grassy aarea with pumpkins on the ground- they arent grown there, and there are only small sugar pumpkins (find for toddlers, not for a family looking to carve a pumpkin). Its very small - you could do the whole thing in 20 minutes. There's a garden you can walk through with some veggies but there are signs that the kids arent to touch anything. When you go on a class trip the only animal the kids can touch are goats- nothing else. So much for "hands on"! The geese had a cap of a pickup bed for shelter. This is a makeshift petting zoo behind wire, where you cant touch anything. Theres a cement slab path to the "pumpkin patch" with pumpkins they brought in and dumped in the field. Seriously a waste of time and money. read more

Love this little farm! Great deal for an hour or two activity for the kids. Owners and volunteers always welcoming.
