 A lot of people struggle to find a good pumpkin, and especially with the amount of time it can take so one of your best options is Fowler pumpkin patch, Lark Ranch, and Anderson orchid . These patches have loads of different sizes and colors in pumpkins, you could definitely find what you are looking for.

The kind workers at Fowler

Fowler is all the way on Greene County line road. It is used as a way to bring families to do something fun this time of year with its many fun things to do there. Those things include a corn maze, a kid train ride, and most importantly its huge pumpkin patch that has hundreds to thousands of pumpkins. Its history with the people is great with it having 234 views on google and an overall rate of 4 ½ stars. Lots of families show great support there by saying things like, “This place gets better each year. The strength of Fowler are the offerings for all ages,” so for the people it’s best for those younger ones and older ones.

A pumpkin patch with lots of sizes and colors

Lark ranch is a few minutes from Bloomington and is a great pumpkin patch while also being a great carnival place to play games with all your friends. Lark Ranch is a great way to get all the pumpkins you want without being in the field if you don’t want to do that! Lark Ranch has a place in the front to pick up a pumpkin that is pre-picked! This feature can save a lot of time for those who are busy. The carnival-like games just add even more fun but the small zoo that includes horses, peacocks, rabbits, and more makes this experience one of the best.

The third best place to get a nice pumpkin this year is Anderson orchard. It has so many fun and exciting things to do there. They have an amazing store filled with apple butter, apple cider, jelly, salsa, and many more fresh produce food items! And most importantly the big pumpkin patch to cruise around in to find the perfect one. This pumpkin patch also includes huge haystacks to let your kids climb on while also being right next to the nice big playground to let your kids have lots of fun on. They have great pumpkins and even better apple products to enjoy on your trip which makes every last bit worth it!

These three are your best bet for a great pumpkin this year so you can do whatever you want with it! Madie Shaw said, “The rides are fun, 9/10,” when I asked her what her opinion was about Lark Ranch. Next Ty Wadsworth said, “The pumpkin patch was good,” about the great patch at Anderson Orchid. These great patches are helpful for a cheap, easy, and fast pumpkin this year.
