Reading time: 4 minutes
We’re still seeing plenty of 80s temps here in Alabama, but Starbucks already released their Pumpkin Spice Latte. That means it’s fall, right?
One of my favorite autumn activities is exploring a good pumpkin patch (very original, I know). If you’re in the same boat—or patch—as me, here are seven pumpkin patches in Alabama that you need to check out this fall.
1. Old Baker Farm—Harpersville
Old Baker Farm in Harpersville is a picturesque pumpkin patch located not too far from Birmingham. They have special events during their month-long pumpkin patch season, including the First Full Weekend, Cowboy Day, American History Weekend and Festival Weekend. Plus, add this one to your holiday bucket list—it’s a Christmas tree farm, too!

2. Tate Farms—Meridianville
Growing up in North Alabama, it wasn’t fall without a visit to Tate Farms. This history-rich, family-owned farm isn’t just pumpkins, though. They have corn cribs, hay rides, a play barn, huge jumping pillows, slides, a carousel and more. Don’t miss Pumpkin Destruction Day on October 28—it’s as fun as it sounds.

3. McGee Farm—Florence
Since 1978, the Shoals area has enjoyed autumn trips to McGee Farm. Their pumpkin patch is, of course, the main attraction, but they also have wagon rides, a jumping pillow and a farm kitchen. The best part? Admission is completely free to the pumpkin patch, with attractions being a minimal cost.
