PICK YOUR PATCH, PICK YOUR POISON.
Core memories are made in pumpkin patches. The flannel shirts, the most durable and never white shoes, the steamy cups of apple cider, the crunch of cornstalks, the hayrides to who-cares-where, and the picturesque tractors always make for an unforgettable experience.There is something for all, no matter age or budget at the patch.
