About The Pumpkin Patch
Come October, pumpkin patches turn whole fields into a sea of orange, every gourd a little different, knobby or smooth, pale cream or deep harvest gold. You choose by walking the rows, pressing a thumbnail to the stem, and hefting the weight to know it's the right one. The basket fills up slowly, seeds and soil still clinging to the skin, and the ride home feels like carrying a small piece of autumn itself.
