Prairie Home Farm has been Coeur d’Alene’s own pumpkin patch for over 20 years. A five acre, 100 year old farmstead with all the imaginable, farm animals in their pens, pastures, coops, hutches and barn.
Open only the month of October, it boasts a U-Pick pumpkin patch and sells upfront at the farm stand. All the fall decor you’d expect at a farm. Linda prides herself in the assortment of heirloom and specialty pumpkins she grows and also brings in thousands of resale Jack O’ Lanterns so that everyone finds what they need.
Field trips are held most weekdays and two days a week she opens the gates to the public.

Grab a radio flier, head back to the patch. When the perfect pumpkin for you is found, well get a general idea of its weight/price in front at our cute little shed with one of many antique scales dotted throughout the property.
Pigs, sheep, horses, goats. chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits. Throw in a few farm dogs and barn cats and let the show begin. In their pens, barns, pastures and coops. Most visitors buy food for feeding but be careful- if it has a mouth it can bite! (what do these geese have to be so angry about?).
If your here for more than just pumpkins and for a small admission, take a wagon and head past the pumpkin patch, deep into the farm featuring what used to be a milking barn, tire swing, and farm animals in their respectable spots. Slow it down, take some time and take all the pictures you want.
1950’s tractor, rustic implements scattered throughout the property, sunflowers, and misc. greenery for bright Fall colored back drops. And the latest addition- a 1948 dodge flatbed pick-up and of course like every year, the picture station- a sitting area of straw bales, corn stalks, pumpkins and hats for everyone to wear for the pose.
An annual event, usually presented on the second to last Saturday in October. The Spokane story telling league spins and weaves in the traditional manner; stories of farms, animals, and Halloween. (Nothing too scary) Check website for specifics.
