A Big Patch of Pumpkin Patches

The fall season doesn't seem to be complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch. My family and I definitely make it a priority to venture out to Burt's Farm each and every year if we possibly can. The above photo is from a few years ago!

Picking out just the right pumpkin to grace the front of our home is a challenge we take on every time, and sometimes our quest for the "perfect" pumpkin leads to bringing more than one specimen home. Because seriously now, can a person have too many pumpkins?

I. Think. Not.

Depending on where you venture to, pumpkin farms can hold a variety of amusements and offerings. Apple cider, corn mazes, those fantastic donuts, and farm animals certainly make the trip even more enjoyable. Add on perfect season pics in front of corn mazes or on a hayride, and you have the makings of a perfect Autumn afternoon.

Don't get me wrong though, it is not just the pumpkin quest or all that a pumpkin patch offers that keeps us going. Nor is is the spoils of the season that we get to take home that makes the trip worthwhile. In fact just the opposite. It is the time spent together as a family that I enjoy the most. Setting aside an afternoon of togetherness, especially when things get so busy around this time of year, makes it all the more special. Long after the donuts have been eaten, or the pumpkin is added to the compost pile, the memories of our special day remain. I hope that you can have a similar experience with you and your family, to warm you as the cold weather approaches.

These places are just a small sampling of pumpkin farms that our area has to offer. Some are close by and some are further out, but fun awaits at every one. Do you have a favorite one to go to? I would love to hear about it, so comment below!
