Get in the Fall Spirit at These Kentucky Pumpkin Patches
The weather cools, the leaves begin to turn, and costumes and candy appear in the aisles of your favorite retailers: for many families, this signals that it's time to engage in the tradition of heading to a local farm to pick the perfect pumpkin to carve, paint, or decorate for Halloween. Before heading out to pick your pumpkin, drink some apple cider, and work through a corn maze, consider changing things up this year and visiting a new pumpkin patch.
These farms in Kentucky offer difficult corn mazes, large pumpkin patches, and reasonable prices.
