Top Pumpkin Patches in the US

Fall is here and it’s time to embrace the beauty of the season. We love fall for football, apple picking, making soups and pies, the foliage, and of course—pumpkin picking. Visiting a pumpkin patch is a fun, family-friendly fall experience. There is just something special about picking out your own pumpkin to take home for a jack-o-lantern or a pumpkin pie. There are some incredible pumpkin picking destinations in the US, but we wanted to celebrate the start of the season by showing you some of the top pumpkin patches in the country!
