Oh Pumpkin, My Pumpkin

It’s that time of year ladies & gentlemen! Get excited for the Fall season and everything that comes with it – pumpkin carving, apple picking, Halloween costume shopping and more. Today’s post is about my favorite fall activity: finding the perfect Pumpkin Patch to pick the most delightfully misshapen canvas for a spooky Halloween masterpiece.

Here, a list of my favorite Pumpkin Patches in and around Los Angeles:

Shawn’s Pumpkin Patch – With two locations this year, one in Culver City and one in Santa Monica, they’ve got more straw bales, corn stalks, mountains of pumpkins, and gourds than you can possibly imagine. Plus, to add to the fun, they have moon bouncers, a ball house, face painting and guaranteed fun for the whole family!

Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch – Located in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood, this patch has the freshest farm goods and loads of entertainment, from Mr. Bones and the Halloween giants, the jumpin' pumpkin, straw maze and facepainting.

Calabasas Pumpkin Festival – This will be my choice this year. A two-day festival happening THIS WEEKEND, be sure not to miss out. Rides, carnival games, professional carving demonstrations, Inflatable obstacle courses, food and beer. Need I say more?!
