If you want to soak up every bit of Autumn, you may be making a bucket list and checking things off. If you are, or just want something fun to do, here’s a list of things that scream fall.
Pumpkin Patches
Picking a pumpkin and carving a jack-o-lantern is a peak Halloween time activity. Places like Patch Orchards and Riverview Farm offer pick-your-own pumpkins. Make sure to check out their other fall offerings while you’re there and snap a photo with your treasures.
Apple Picking

Hay Rides
Enjoy the views of Autumn atop a stack of hay on a local hayride. Places like Wellwood Orchards, Riverview Farm, and Patch Orchards offer rides around their properties.
