Pumpkin Patches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey Named the Best
Two pumpkin patches in the Northeast, one in Pennsylvania and one in New Jersey, have been named among the best pumpkin patches in the U.S. Going to a pumpkin patch is one of my favorite things to do during the fall months. I think pretty much everybody loves that experience of looking for the best pumpkin in the patch and bringing it home as your very own. It’s kind of like picking out your Christmas tree every year, but for a different occasion. So, if you live near these two Northeast pumpkin patches that are getting major props, you might want to make a point to get over there and check them out.
Pennsylvania, New Jersey Pumpkin Patches
The travel and lifestyle experts at USA Today love their pumpkin patches, and they’ve put together a tally of the best pumpkin patches in the U.S. The top 10 roster, which is part of USA Today’s 10 Best, was selected by an expert panel and voted on by their readers. “You’re sure to find the perfect pumpkin for carving or decorating your dining table, and some even offer pie pumpkins for baking,” they note. “Plus, there’s just something about visiting a pumpkin patch, many with hayrides and yummy treats, that puts you in the fall spirit.”
Before we get to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey pumpkin patches, let’s look at which spot got the coveted No. 1 position. It’s Treworgy Family Orchards in Levant, Maine. Everyone knows Maine is a beautiful area for fall colors, so it makes sense that area of the country would also have some great pumpkin patches. ” When visiting Treworgy Family Orchards, you may want to hop aboard the hayride or take a horse-drawn farm tour so you can get a good look at the expansive pumpkin patch,” USA Today notes, adding that it has a massive eight miles of rows. They also have areas where you can visit goats or eat ice cream.
Coming in at No. 6 on their tally is Irons Mill Farmstead in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. This place offers lots of fun family-friendly fall activities. “Think a corn maze, a corn cob beach, pumpkin bowling, and apple blasters, to name a few of the more than 40 activities and attractions available,” the experts at USA Today note. No. 9 on their roster is the Allaire Community Farm in Wall Township, New Jersey. They suggest to take a “hayride, see the animals at the petting zoo and grab some fall decor to complement your pumpkins.” Contact me with your favorite pumpkin patch spots.
