Halloween is almost here, and while you plan your costumes, it's also time to plan for pumpkins.
No matter the size you're looking for, from miniature pumpkin gourds, to giants weighing in at 100 pounds, pumpkin patches in the area are ready for you.
The map above has pins to show the location of apple orchards, farm markets and pumpkin patches. The purple pins offer apples and pumpkins, red offer apples and orange offer pumpkins. Many locations also have other activities (like spook houses and hayrides), and some have admission fees. Here is more information on apple orchards.
