It is officially the fall, and October is coming up in just a few days.

So it is time to start thinking about planning your visit to your local Pumpkin Patch with the kids. Same with Apple Picking if you do that during the fall as well.

We love going to the Pumpkin patch yearly as a family, getting excited about the fall and Halloween.

Visiting local farms is a fun family activity, and we usually get cute family photos when we visit. 

Here is a list of some local Metro Vancouver Pumpkin Patch and Apple Picking Farms to visit this year. Most will open on Oct 1.
 (Note: Call/check their website for updated opening hours before your visit to avoid disappointment.)
