Suzie’s Farm Pumpkin Palooza will bring together the families of the Suzie’s Farm and San Diego community for a fun afternoon on the farm. This event is free to attend, and guests can participate in “u-pick” pumpkins and take home the fruits of their labor. Along with a day of pumpkin picking, there will be live music, food, and community organizations.
The Grove, Suzie's 2-acre event space lined with Eucalyptus Trees adjacent to the field will host a festive atmosphere with live music from G Burns Jug Band and Plow. Green Truck and God Save The Cuisine food trucks will be on the farm selling their delicious prepared meals. Calexico Creamery will also be on hand selling handmade ice cream. Guests are invited to bring a picnic, chairs, blankets, and whatever they need for a fun afternoon on the farm.
Local photographers, Just Hatched Photography, will be at the farm hosting their annual Fall fundraiser to raise money for Rady’s Children’s Hospital. Bring the kids in their Halloween costumes or fun Fall frocks for picture. The mini-session is $10 donation with all money being donated to Rady’s Children’s Hospital.
