It’s nearly the end of October. Halloween hangs in the air like a full moon in an indigo sky. You’ve planned the costume (Iron Man), asked out a date for the Halloween dance at school (on a dare), and settled the trick-or-treat route with your friends (you know exactly where to find the big candy bars this year.)
But something’s missing.
Then, as you launch yourself off the porch on Thursday morning, backpack swinging off one shoulder, you realize: there are no jack-o-lanterns at the door. It’s a disaster—how can you possibly have missed this hallmark of the perfect Halloween? You pull out your rubber boots and start bugging your parents to take you to the pumpkin patch after school.
What’s Halloween without tromping through a field, picking out your own gourd, then taking it home to disembowel, chop holes in, and light on fire? You ask. You pester. You whine. They cave.
After all, they need some decent pictures of you to put on Facebook. May as well include you holding a pumpkin. But where to go?.
Pumpkin patches are scattered throughout the Fraser Valley, and they all pop up at this time of year. Whether you want to create an aesthetic pumpkin arrangement or a spooky jack-o-lantern collection, local farms with all varieties and sizes can help you find the gourds your looking for.
Many of these farms will close in early November, so check them out while you can! Click each link to find more information about opening hours, locations, and admission prices.
