It's that time of year again in Elk Grove, CA. All of the Elk Grove Pumpkin Patches springing up around the area get me in the spirit of the season! I used to love to visit these with my children; they would run through the pumpkins and spend so much time finding just the right pumpkin that they would carve for Halloween! And the hay mazes, scarecrows, and hay rides at some pumpkin patches were always such a joy.
So, where do you find pumpkin patches in Elk Grove, CA?
Fog Willow Farms is located along the banks of the Consumnes River and is immensely popular with school-aged kids as evidenced by the many school busses making their way to the farm.
