Madera Pumpkin Patch Saves School Trips | Fresno News

Madera Pumpkin Patch is stepping up to fill the gap left by Fresno Unified’s slashed field trip funding, letting local businesses sponsor students for hands-on fall fun—single kids, whole classrooms, buses, or even entire schools. Owner Joey Olvera launched the initiative after hearing about the cuts, rallying community support to keep kids engaged outside the classroom. Teachers’ union president Manuel Bonilla praised the grassroots effort, calling it inspiring and vital. The patch opens October 22nd through 31st—perfect for anyone wanting to invest in education through unforgettable experiences.
