Fall Family Field Trip: Webster Hills Pumpkin Patch 🎃

Happy Fall, y’all! We recently visited a new-to-us pumpkin patch (thanks to my friend Amy for her rec!), and I just had to share because we loved it that much.

But first, a confession: I am not usually a fan of pumpkin patches. (There, I said it.) So if you’re into the big, crowded, all-day kind of experience—this might not be your vibe. But if you’re looking for something a little slower, simpler, and sweeter—this might just be your family’s new fall tradition.

At Webster Hills Pumpkin Patch, all the activities—like the corn pit, wagons, photo ops, a tiny rollercoaster ride, and a bounce house—are completely free. You get all the festive family fun without that “we-have-to-stay-all-day-to-get-our-money’s-worth” pressure. For us, that’s the dream: just enough to make memories, not meltdowns.

We visited on opening day, and it was pure delight. No crowds, no chaos—just happy kids and pumpkins galore. The best part? The pumpkins are already picked and ready for you. No hauling a wagon through the fields (a win in my book!). Plus, all proceeds go to their youth ministry, which makes every pumpkin feel like a little act of good.

We’ve already decided this will be an every-year stop for us—especially since opening weekend falls right around June’s birthday. I can’t wait to watch her grow through our yearly photos there.

If you visit, make it a full “family field trip” and stop by Bagel Union, Teleo Coffee or Kaldi’s Coffeeshop before or after for a little treat.

Here’s to cozy mornings, slow adventures, and seeing the magic in the little things this fall. I can’t wait to see you all at your sessions and hear your favorite ways to celebrate the season. 🍂 Brooke
