Nothing quite says autumn like a visit to a pumpkin patch. In this case it was a brief excursion to Nalls Produce Center, a nearby establishment that has an amazing assortment of produce and plants. Normally I think of pumpkins as being orange and there are plenty of orange pumpkins there of all shapes and sizes. They also have an incredible variety of pumpkins of different colors, including the multi-colored ones in the final photo. They are known by a number of different names including Turk’s Turban and Mexican Hat.

Thanks for this great post! I’ve been searching for a pumpkin patch nearby me to visit with my family this fall. Your recommendations are super helpful, and I love how you’ve highlighted local spots with fun activities like hayrides and corn mazes. Can’t wait to check them out and make some great memories. Any other hidden gems you’d suggest for fall activities?
