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!) Get ready for some great pumpkin pickin'!
Things to remember when going to a pumpkin patch:
- Charge up the camera
- Wear clothes that can get dirty. Grab the rubber boots!
- 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 has an intact stem.
- Avoid pumpkins with dark spots or feel soft.
- Bring your camera and HAVE FUN.
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!
