Put on your flannel shirt, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and get ready for some pumpkin’ pickin, hay-riding, corn-mazing, apple-blasting, and other fall fun, everyone.
It’s decorative gourd season, y’all.
Of course, there are plenty of ways to get your hands on a few porch pumpkins this year. You could pick one up at the grocery store. If you got started a few months ago, maybe you could grow one yourself.
But for those who like a little more fanfare for your fall pumpkin picking experience, well, there are plenty of options for that as well.
Below are seven local pumpkin patches we know of around Northwest Arkansas that will be open this season, several of them complete with hay rides, corn mazes, pony rides, petting zoo’s, and other autumn fun.
Feel free to let us know about any new spots that we may have missed in the comments below.
Happy pumpkin’ picking, everyone.
