💡 Tips for an Awesome Fall Outing
Go during off-peak times (weekdays or early evenings) to avoid crowds and long lines.
Dress in layers and bring comfortable shoes you don’t mind getting a little dusty.
Bring a wagon or cart for pumpkins—especially if there are hills or uneven ground.
Check patch websites or social pages for updates (some close early or have weather-impacted hours).
Bring hand wipes, trash bags, and maybe a cooler for food or water.
Use the opportunity for fall photos—many of these patches have perfect scenery for family portraits.
Fall in the Treasure Valley is more than just pumpkin-picking—it’s about making memories, finding seasonal traditions, and enjoying the crisp air with family and friends. Enjoy every moment, and don’t forget to tag us in your pumpkin patch adventures!
