I can’t believe we’re already talking about pumpkin picking in July! If you guys haven’t heard of Somerset Farms, you’re missing out! We visited last September and it was such a fun experience for our family. I always see people looking for places to pick pumpkins in the fall. I wanted to share this information ahead of time as some people don’t realize the pumpkin picking season is very short and happens well in advance of Halloween. I don’t want anyone to miss out!
Where:
Somerset Farms

Good to Know:
– Dress for the weather and ensure to wear appropriate footwear
– There are wagons on site to use, however, there are a limited number so if you have a wagon of your own, it’s recommended to bring it with you
– The pumpkin patch is pet friendly (dogs must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after)
– There is no concession on site, so you’ll want to bring food and snacks for your family
– Even though you’ve picked pumpkins in at the beginning of September, with the proper care, they can definitely last until Halloween!
