October Happenings!

Pumpkin Patches

Gizdich Ranch
55 Peckham Road. Watsonville.

Young Life Monterey County Pumpkin Patch
( I like this one because the pumpkins are actually growing on the vine and you get to pick them off. Also a great option for pictures).
Reservation Road @ Hwy 68 (831) 422-6441






Hacienda Hay & Feed
7180 Carmel Valley Road.
(Just past Baja Cantina)
I like this place because it is right next door to Earth Bound Farms (see below) and you can do both in one day. Plus its not so far of a drive and the kids love the animals.

Earth Bound Farms
7250 Carmel Valley Rd.

This place rocks on saturdays in October. They have Corn Husk doll making for the kids, a pumpkin race, and fun food. We make a day out of it and they also have a kid garden with a cute lil teepee!

Pumpkin Junction at Casa De Fruita
10021 Pacheco Pass Hwy. Hollister

another bit of a drive but also well worth it!
