The Best Pumpkin Patches in MA

Visiting a pumpkin patch in the fall is a must for every family. We are very fortunate to live in Massachusetts where we have a long list of family farms to choose from.

I put together this list of the top 10 best pumpkin patches in MA which I will list from the Western part of the state to the East. Scroll down to see them mapped out.

I tried to spread them out so that wherever you live in the state, you won’t have to travel far. I also looked for farms that offer fun family activities such as hayrides, corn mazes and apple picking.
