One of the most iconic fall activities is visiting the pumpkin patch -- picking out that perfect pumpkin, enjoying corn mazes, hay rides, apple cider and cute farm animals. Here are some tried and true favorites in Snohomish County:
Craven Farm, Snohomish
Craven Farm features a 20-acre pumpkin patch, a 15-acre corn maze, a 3-D Pumpkin Adventure, a hay ride, a pumpkin and apple slinger, a scarecrow making station, face painting, farm animals, an Anna & Else Meet and Greet (for Frozen lovers!), a harvest market, an espresso shop and a gift shop. I like to fuel up on their homemade doughnuts and an espresso, and then head out in search of that perfect pumpkin.
The Farm at Swans Trail, Snohomish
Set along the shores of the Snohomish River, the Farm at Swans Trail features a 45-acre pumpkin patch, a corn maze shaped like Washington State, a petting farm, wagon rides, a u-pick apple orchard, duck races, and Farmer Bens Famous Four Little Pigs Show. In addition to pumpkins, I also went home with a bag full of fresh apples- the quintessential fall haul!
*Note: The farms are open through October 31st.
