Dell'Osso Farm - A Halloween Cornucipia

Updated on October 17, 2014

The Fantabulous Dell'Osso Family Farm

I LOVE Dell'Osso Farm! Our famiy looks forward to visiting the Farm every year, and every year it gets bigger and better!

Dell'Osso Farm was founded in the 1920's by three brothers from Italy who started farming asparagus. Rudy Dell'Osso, the son of one the original brothers, took over the farm in the 1950's and diversified into growing tomatoes, beans and alfalfa. In the mid 1970's, Ron Dell'Osso, Rudy's son, joined the business and added pumpkins, melons and sweet corn to the crop rotation.

In 1997, Ron and his wife Susan, started the first Corn Maze and the Halloween event has grown into a Haunted House, Pumpkin Blaster and much more. The Dell'Osso Family Farm October event has grown into one of the most popular Halloween season destinations in the nation, with close to 125,000 people visiting the site each October. The event still remains a family operation, with the entire Dell'Osso family participating.

Pumpkin Blaster

Shoots mini pumpkins at targets in the field. The pumpkins travel at 90 miles per hour. You load it, aim and try to shoot a mini-pumpkin through the opening of the targets. It is open to all and the mini-pumpkins are included in the price of the Pumpkin Blaster attraction.

This unusual and awesome feature is way more fun than you can imagine. Kids and adults will both want to try their hand at hitting targets. Even the sound the blasters make is sure to get your blood pumping.

Gem Mining

For the young and young at heart. Guaranteed to take home your own gem treasure!

Where else but California could you mine for gems at the pumpkin patch? Well, here in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley you can do just that. Some folks forget that this location is just a hop, skip and a jump from the Sierra Foothills where mining is the theme of the day. So...do you feel lucky today?
