How did September fly by so quickly? It felt like yesterday kids were just starting to go back to school! We love that fall is in full swing and our kids are so excited to hit the pumpkin patches.
Here’s a round up of some of our favourite family-friendly pumpkin patches. If you don’t like crowds, consider visiting a patch on a weekday. Many patches are open from 9am-6pm.
And once you bring all those pumpkins home, if you’d like some inspo on decorating with pumpkins of all sizes, see our post on Modern Fall Decor Ideas. Happy pumpkin hunting!
COVID update: Most farms ask that you purchase entry tickets in advance in order to minimize crowding, and to stagger the flow of visitors.
