📅 Tips Before You Go

  • Check for weather closures: These are outdoor events, so wind or heavy rain could cancel or shorten hours.

  • Arrive early: The best pumpkins and photo angles go fast.

  • Bring cash: Smaller vendors sometimes prefer it.

  • Plan your route: Some patches are further out — combine with other stops for a full day.

  • Wear closed-toe shoes: Farms can be muddy or uneven.

🍂 Tying It Back to Your Home

Visiting pumpkin patches is fun — but here’s how to align it with your homeowner goals:

  • As you explore neighborhoods with patches, you’ll see how homes are built near flood zones, drainage setups, and landscaping.

  • If you’re scouting houses, think about how your lot handles water during heavy rain.

  • After a rainy day at the patch, inspect your own home for leaks or drainage problems (a minor crack here, a soggy corner there) — many issues can start small.
