Toronto Area Pumpkin Patches
My family has a long list of holiday traditions.
We like to celebrate each holiday as a family and go all out. From our big Easter Egg hunts to our Christmas gatherings, these traditions have been going on for as long as I can remember.
Now that my siblings and I are grown, we have families of our own. While some holidays take juggling to ensure everyone is free to celebrate together, without fail we always get together.
One of those traditions, and one of the top things on our fall family bucket list, is visiting the pumpkin patch every Thanksgiving weekend.
Over the years we have visited many pumpkin patches in and around Hamilton, Niagara, and Toronto.
We’ve had some favourites that we returned to year after year, and some that we only visited once.
Since moving north of Toronto, our annual pumpkin patch and Thanksgiving feast has been at my home. This meant researching and finding the best pumpkin patches within a 45 minute drive to visit.
In the past, we have visited Whittamore’s Berry Farm in Markham which had a lot of fun activities for the kids. Unfortunately, they closed down.
We then started going to a new pumpkin patch.
I had a long list of local farms and narrowed it down to Brooks Farms for us this year.
Their website allowed me to see all of the fun activities there are for the kids to keep them active and busy. It also has all the traditional stuff we adults enjoy too.
The farm looks like a great spot for me to capture some awesome pictures to remember our yearly tradition too.
Our Adventures At Pumpkin Patches
Here are some photos from our pumpkin patch adventures over the years.
Hailee was a strong little one. She tossed that pumpkin like it was a feather!
Some sisterly love! I love that my sister and I still act like big kids.
Bella had picked the perfect little pumpkin.
