It’s time for the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Or, if you’re like me, annual trips, cause I really can’t go to just one! There is nothing like a farm on a fall day. The smell of cider and roasted corn, the bright pumpkins waiting to be chosen and all the fun activities! Here are the details for the 2023 pumpkin patches in Skagit County.
Tips for visiting local pumpkin patches:
- Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes.
- Be ready for the weather: that could mean sunscreen, or an umbrella and a raincoat!
- Bring cash. Though some accept cards, it’s good to be prepared.
- Be prepared to walk.
- Go early in the season for the best selection!
