It’s fall in Kane County, the perfect time to get outdoors and choose that perfect pumpkin for Halloween.

Here are a few suggestions of where to go and how to get there. Some of these are courtesy of the Kane County Farm Bureau website, which is also a great place to find out more about farmers markets, farm stands and virtually anything that grows in Kane County.

We also took a look at the Pumpkin Patches & More website and searched for Kane County to get a few more names.

This is important: If we missed any, let us know! Leave a comment with this post or email ricknagel23@gmail.com.

Editor’s Note: We added a post on Gould Cider on Monday, Oct. 6. Click here to read more.
