We’re officially launched into October 2022, and the cooler weather has us ready for Fall to stick around here in Northwest Arkansas. If you’re looking for a great activity to help get you and your family outside for a bit, and maybe skip a little of the extra traffic we’ve had around the Farmington area this weekend, then visiting a local pumpkin patch in the area would be a great way to do just that! You can get the whole crew together, and go out to one of the local farms in NWA to load up the bed of your RAM 1500 pickup with freshly picked pumpkins, hay bales, and whatever else you can fit to make your Autumn that much more festive. As a family owned and operated business in the area for over 75 years in the NWA area, we love recommending other local businesses and family farms as great options to visit.
In Springdale AR:
Farmland Adventures - https://www.farmlandadventures.com/
We know our Facebook feeds are flooded with photos every year of school kids and families going out to enjoy all the attractions that Farmland Adventures has to offer to its guests. Here you’ll find a giant corn maze, pony rides, a whole menagerie of farm animals to see and interact with, and of course, you get to pick your own pumpkin.
In Springdale AR:
Appel Farms - https://www.facebook.com/AppelFarmsNWA
This veteran owned and operated family farm on Elm Springs Road in Springdale isn’t just home to pumpkins, even if they are the main event this month. You’ll also find their farm-grown fruits and vegetables, free-range chicken eggs, mums, and hay bales. If you’re looking for the perfect decorating setup for autumn as well as delicious and healthy locally-grown options to snack on, this is a great place in NWA to visit!
Pea Ridge AR (near the Rogers AR area and Bentonville AR area)
McGarrah Farms - https://www.mcgarrahfarms.com/pumpkin-patch
This farm up closer to the northern corner of Arkansas is another great place to take in a whole list of attractions and activities. You have the option to head out to the pumpkin patch and pick out your own gourd, or you can also pick some out from their pre-picked pumpkins. Besides just the main attraction, you can also check out the Mule-pulled barrel train ride, their tall grass maze, tractor-pulled hayrides, bounce pads, ziplines, and additional fun items.
Hindsville AR:
In the Pines - https://in-the-pines.business.site/
If you’d like to knock out some Christmas shopping while you’re out enjoying the outdoors, and mark one thing off your holiday to-do list, this pumpkin patch also features a seasonal gift shop stocked with thoughtful items like handmade crafts, locally made jams, and wooden game boards. They feature a pumpkin patch with a great country atmosphere, nestled in among the pine trees on the farm, and also carry smaller gourds and potted mum plants to round out your fall decorating.
If you’re reading this list to plan your outing, and you’re realizing that you may not have quite enough space in your vehicle to pack all the people and cargo you’re looking to transport, you can always give us a call at our local used car dealership and our sales staff can recommend some of the other options we have available, like a used SUV for sale with third-row seating and all the creature comforts your passengers may want. Give us a call at (888)449-7832 and we’ll be sure to get you set up with the right vehicle for your specific needs and budget. It’s what we do best.
