Summer may bring us good weather and Winter may bring us the holiday season and time off with family, but neither season can really capture the magical atmosphere of Autumn in Brentwood. As the leaves fall off the trees and are blown around on clear days by that cool breeze that characterizes this time of year in our area, families will come to the Smith Family Farm Pumpkin Harvest to enjoy a day out on the farm and, perhaps more importantly, pick out the perfect pumpkin. With no holiday shopping to do, no big family get-togethers to plan and trick-or-treating not until the end of October, we are always reminded that sometimes the best memories are made with others during the quietest times of the year. So dig that cozy sweater out of your closet and get pumped for pumpkin season: October is the time of year to enjoy the slower pace of life, time spent with family and great days out. There's no better place to do that than at the Smith Family Farm Pumpkin Harvest.

Farming attracted the Nunn Family to the rich soils of Brentwood almost 150 years ago. At just 20 years old, George Nunn came to town to work the grain harvest. He saw promise and a successful future living and working with the kind people of Brentwood. Slowly, other family members joined him and they set down roots in their beautiful surroundings. They began building a farming business that is still run by third, fourth and fifth generation members of the Nunn Family. Today, the Nunn Family, supported by a team of dedicated professionals, continues a tradition of bringing superb agricultural products to California.
Love for the land and a passion for farming runs strong throughout the Nunn Family. This outlook on life formed the momentum behind Three Nunns Farm – run by the three Nunn siblings: Jake, Sam, & Hailey.

Our annual Creepy Crawly Halloween is a two hour costume extravaganza in the streets of Downtown Campbell. Candy and other freebies are certainly a big part of this event, but most people come mainly to revel in a community wide costume party in the streets and get some candy as an added bonus.

With the number of people that we draw to our event, it's not likely that you're going to leave with a full bucket of candy so if you're mainly coming for the candy, you'll probably leave disappointed despite our best efforts every year to make more candy available and involve more organizations.

This is a VERY popular event and it will be crowded so if you're bringing sensitive children or animals, please take special precautions.

No Costume Contest
There will not be a costume contest this year.

It's pumpkins galore in the water! Swim around searching for your perfect pumpkin in our floating pumpkin patch while our certified Life-ghouls keep you safe.

The patch was originally located off Bailey and Santa Teresa Blvd but has since relocated a quarter mile south to Laguna Ave and Santa Teresa Blvd in partnership with the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority —an organization that works to preserve natural and working lands. We’re excited to continue to serve the Coyote Valley community with fall fun and agricultural education. Hope to see you at the patch!
