It's fall, my favorite time of year.  Football, crisp air leading to sunny afternoons, and trees parting with their green leaves for brighter colors. It's also time for families everywhere to seek out the perfect pumpkin, scoop its guts and carve it, light it, enjoy it, and then watch it decompose (gross!).  Since you don't want to miss out on that tradition, Macaroni Kid has compiled a list of local pumpkin-picking places! (Say that three times fast!)

So charge up that camera, grab the rubber boots, and get ready for some great pumpkin pickin'!  Also, please note we do our best to keep the information updated, but you may want to confirm with the business website before packing up the family!


Things to remember when going to the pumpkin patch: 

  • Wear clothes that can get dirty. Boots are also a good idea. 
  • Pick your pumpkin up by the bottom. Too many good pumpkins have met a tragic ending from a stem breaking. Look for a pumpkin that is firm and with the stem intact. 
  • Avoid pumpkins with dark spots or feel soft. 
  • Bring your camera and HAVE FUN
