11 pumpkin patches in the GTA you can visit this October
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
Before the pumpkin spice latte, there was simply the pumpkin.
And pumpkins have always been celebrated this time of year. A sign of Halloween, a sign of changing times, a sign of fall. Pumpkin patches start popping up around Ontario, as Torontonians visit the famous farms to pick their very own future jack-o’-lantern.
And while your local grocery store will carry some pumpkins, it’s much more fun to run around a farm and find your perfect pumpkin match. (And just think of all the gorgeous Instagram photos.)
So to help prepare you for both October and Halloween, check out these pumpkin patches around Toronto.
