Pumpkin Patches in Gig Harbor and Beyond
The first day of autumn is almost here, which means there are all things pumpkin to look forward to—pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, and don’t forget the pumpkin patches! Here’s a list of all the places in and around Gig Harbor where the kids can find that gourd-geous (get it?) pumpkin. Stay local, or make a day of it by traveling beyond the harbor and taking in some beautiful fall scenery along the way.
*Not all the farms allow pets, so if you want to bring Fido too I recommend checking with each location on their pet policy.
