We went to a fun little pumpkin patch on Oct 15 at a local organic farm called Tanaka Farms. It was so picturesque and educational. The kindergarten teacher in me loves that! This is the patch that we romped through with black wheelbarrows to choose the perfect pumpkins for carving. They intentionally planted seed late as well so we could see the whole life cycle of a pumpkin so we looked at the vines, blossoms and small green pumpkins on those green plants as well. The entire patch was lined with 6-8 foot tall sunflowers and they had the coolest green beetles on them (I think they were ladybug relatives). There was a live corn maze, a tractor pulled wagon ride, and a petting zoo. They also do watermelons in summer strawberries and organic veggie picking in the fields. We had a wonderful Fall day learning about pumpkins and celebrating the harvest season.

Sounds like a good day and a good place to return to at different times of the year.
