With photos of pumpkin carving parties and the changing leaves taking up my social feed, one thing is clear—fall is here! This year, home & lifestyle magazine Country Living put together a list of the “37 Best Pumpkin Farms Near You to Visit This Fall“, ranking The Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden, Alabama in the #4 spot.

Here’s what Country Living had to say about The Great Pumpkin Patch:

“With everything from music to pie and plenty of kids’ activities, a trip to the Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden, AL, is worth the drive. A hay pyramid will help get any excess energy out before the ride home, while the Pumpkin Patch Train is just the right speed for little ones.”
