Take Your Pick By Laura Posada

There’s nothing like the sensory discovery of a season to really help bring it to life. Getting your hands on the fresh vegetables of the season is deeply gratifying and also makes for unforgettable fall family activities. The following ideas make for excellent day trips, or weekend getaways where you might consider also booking a stay at an overnight inn or bed-and-breakfast.

Lords of the Gourde: Think about visiting a pumpkin patch one weekend, where you can collectively select the celebratory gourde of your choice.

An Apple a Day: Apple picking is another fantastic autumnal plan, and better yet, you’ll end up with a full batch of healthy snacks for weeks.

Praise the Corn Maze: Many farms offer corn maze activities for kids that include puzzles, labyrinths, scavenger hunts and learning about farming.
