It’s fall time once again! You can’t really escape the excitement over Spooky Season and the cooler weather in the Valley. However, you might need to plot out how you’ll participate — namely, where will you get your pumpkins of choice in the Valley? Where will you celebrate the coming of autumn with your kids, your friends, or your spouse? Any of the pumpkin patches below are perfect for that celebration and finding the right squash for you.
Mother Nature’s Farm
1663 E Baseline Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85233
At Mother Nature’s Farm, you can experience a straw maze with your kids or pick a great pumpkin to bring home from Brooke’s Pumpkin Patch. For $12 a person, you can be a part of multiple other things at the farm, including animal feeding, a hayride, and a spider web crawl. Just don’t forget to take a good look at the patch and take your favorite short, orange squash back home with you!
Vertuccio Farms
4011 S Power Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212
Vertuccio Farms wants you to come to celebrate the cooler weather by visiting their corn maze, riding the “Super Mega Slide,” a train ride, or even painting and taking your very own pumpkin. This is the Valley’s longest-running corn maze as well, and pets on leashes are welcome. You can visit the farm for $15, and to simply buy a pumpkin you can just show up without even needing to pay admission. That said, plenty of things are available for purchase — including pony rides and concessions!
