Fall is here, and it’s the perfect time to head out to a local farm, wander through the pumpkin patch, and find a pumpkin to bring home. 🍁🎃
Whether you’re looking for the perfect carving pumpkin, a few seasonal decorations, or a fun afternoon with the family, there are plenty of local spots to explore.
Here are a few pumpkin patches and farms to add to your fall outing list!
📍Snyder’s Family Farm, Bright
Pick your own pumpkins in their 16-acre pumpkin patch. You can also make a full day of it with a corn maze, hayride, farm attractions and bakery.
For more info: snydersfamilyfarm.com
📍Downey’s Apple Farm, Breslau
Pick your own pumpkins and apples, then enjoy plenty of fall activities including wagon rides, pumpkin bowling and the farm’s play area. It’s a great option if you want to combine pumpkin picking with a full fall farm outing.
For more info: downeysapplefarm.com
📍Fall Harvest Farm, St. Agatha
Just about 20 minutes from Kitchener-Waterloo, this family-run farm features more than 30 varieties of pumpkins and squash, grown right on the farm. It’s more of a choose-your-own-from-the-harvest display than a traditional walk-through pumpkin field, but there is plenty to choose from for decorating, carving and cooking.
For more info: fallharvestfarm.ca
Before you head out, check each farm’s website for current hours, availability, admission and picking conditions, as these can change throughout the fall. 🍁🍃
