A visit to a pumpkin patch or local farm near Toronto is a fall ritual for many. While your neighbourhood grocery store is probably a cheaper option for procuring your seasonal jack-o'-lantern, a pumpkin patch definitely has a more festive atmosphere.
Here are some pumpkin patches and farms to visit near Toronto.
Albion Orchards
This Caledon apple farm and country market sells hundreds of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes. In addition to pumpkin picking, you can spend your visit picking apples from their orchard.
