It's officially fall in the Carolinas! We wanted to give you a little "pumpkin" to talk about. We know you can get your pumpkins fix at about any grocery, home improvement store or even Target, yes, they have them too! However, for so many, ourselves included, there is something so magical about picking a pumpkin out of the patch. Maybe it is because the pumpkin patches themselves have made it an experience and added in the elements that bring all of our senses into play? No matter how you would like this year to look, our finest five pumpkin patches are sure to impress!
NO. 1 | WISE ACRES
Why it is Concierge Approved | Pick out a pumpkin, feed the farm animals, play on the playground, take a wagon ride, have a treat from the barn market or walk the sun maze. If you get hungry while you are playing you can purchase the most amazing pizza from Wise Pie Pizza Kitchen. So good!!!

NO. 2 | HUNTER FARM
Why it is Concierge Approved | Great pumpkin patch that includes a pumpkin between 3 pounds to 5 pounds in your price of admission. A tractor pulls a wagon along if you would like to enjoy a hayride. There are plenty of animals to feed at the petting zoo. It's a great place to enjoy a picnic or get a little something from the concession stand.

NO. 3 | CARRIGAN
Why it is Concierge Approved | There is something so peaceful at Carrigan Farms and the pumpkin patch makes us think of the classic movie "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". Take a hayride out to the patch. It doesn't have all the frills of some of the other patches but they have gorgeous pumpkins and a scenic moment, you won't forget.

NO. 4 | BUSH N' VINE FARM
Why it is Concierge Approved | If you want something a little more unique, Bush N' Vine usually offers hot air balloon rides, bouncy houses, hayrides, live music and some fun play areas. We've been told this year they will have a hiking trail around the farm.

NO. 5 | AW SHUCKS!
Why it is Concierge Approved | There is so much to do at Aw Shucks, that your little ones might forgot all about the pumpkin market. From the corn mazes to gem mining to hayrides you can spend hours here wandering around. Feed the barn animals, go fishing, pedal around on the paddle boats, tour the 1800's train car, play on all the play areas, pumpkin bowling, silo slide or even buy a treat from the old fashioned soda shop. Your whole family will have the best time!
