The One About The Pumpkin Patch-Mother Nature Farms

Summer has always been my favorite season. All my life I would get all sorts of upset as my birthday got closer and it was time to plan my party because my birthday is in the Winter annnnd I'm NOT a cold weather kinda gal. I wanted beach parties for my bday and Sea World! But you cant do that in January! I need my sunshine like I need my coffee. Hot. Actually that's not entirely true because if you've been following along for a while you know iced coffee is in fact my go-to. ANYWAYS. Getting off subject here. Ok. So. Now that I've gotten older, or maybe it's the fact I moved to H-E-double hockey sticks on Earth, aka Arizona, I can appreciate a little chill in the air. I try to love the heat out here as long as I possibly can but come September 1st I'm like "HECK YES LET'S GET THIS FALL THING GOING!" Ya feel me?! 

So now that we are finally into October and the temps have dropped at least a little out here, I've been starting my Fall bucket list! Number one on there? The pumpkin patch! Growing up we always went to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins and go through the corn maze and it's a tradition I want to continue with my own little family.

I recently went to a little meet up at a local-family owned and operated- pumpkin patch in Gilbert, Az, called Mother Nature Farms. Upon arriving I learned that it was voted Arizona's number 1 pumpkin patch and guys, I was blown away by this place! First of all its on acres and acres of gorgeous property, covered with lush trees, a picnic area, boutique, petting zoo, hayride, the pumpkin patch (obviously) and seriously so much more!

It's the perfect place for all those Fall pumpkin pics with the fam and enough room for the kids to run and play. The tickets are $5/per adult and $10/per kid and tickets for kids INCLUDE a pumpkin to take home and the fun activities while inside! You can even bring in your own food or you can buy from the snack bar and eat in the picnic area.

I'm already planning my return visit with my family for more fun, food pics and pumpkins! If you're in the area and like to support local, this is your place!
