Visiting a Pumpkin Patch has been on my bucket list for years. The reason it's stayed unticked is the added detail that I wanted it to be in America!! Each year I've seen people heading to one and picking their perfect orange companion, and I guess I've always stayed a little stubborn to wanting to do it stateside.
Adopting more of a yes man (or women) attitude lately I've been wanting to crack on and gain more life experiences. This has meant putting a stop to waiting for the right time or place but just saying yes and enjoying that individual moment. All these moments are ones that could be done again with a particular person, or in a particular place, but it means not denying myself of still having some fun. And fun was exactly what we had.
We are fortunate enough to have a patch right on our doorstep, so in full Autumnal attire (I thought the pumpkin outfit might have been a bit overboard) we headed in search for our orange mate.
The way in which the Cat and Fiddle Farm Shop has created the patch was so so wonderful and gave all the Autumnal vibes. Armed with a wheelbarrow that they provide you are given free reign to head out and pick pumpkins until your hearts content. There were literally big ones, small ones and some the size of your head (note I have a whacking great head!!).
A controversial move but after seeing some gorgeous designs on Pinterest I'm actually going to be painting my pumpkin as opposed to carving... I mean who even am I? Keep an eye out on my Instagram where if it's not too much of a disaster I will be posting pics.
This particular patch is a pick your own all year round so I'm definitely going to be heading back next year for strawberries and whatever else they have to offer.
Pumpkin Health and Safety Disclaimer: The stalks are super spikey and the big ones are deceivingly fricking heavy! Yes I am clumsy and a liability so witnessed both first hand!
