Pumpkin patches are the epitome of fall. Whether you love carving Jack-O-Lanterns, roasting pumpkin seeds, or eating pumpkin pie, let’s face it, fall wouldn’t be fall without pumpkins.

While there’s nothing wrong with purchasing a pumpkin from one of Montreal’s many grocery stores or farmer’s markets, if you’re looking for a slightly more festive experience, then you might consider driving to one of Montreal’s nearby pumpkin patches.

All of the farms below are less than an hour from Montreal and will guarantee you a lovely fall day filled with colourful foliage, apple cider, and best of all, pumpkins.
