Rensselaer, Indiana: Mathew's Pumpkin Patch Fairytale Pumpkin

There are so many reasons to go to an Indiana pumpkin patch instead of the too-convenient big box store.

Indiana Pumpkin Patch

Okay, so maybe the title should actually say, “Why you should go to a small town pumpkin patch” but either way, you probably get my point.

For starters–Indiana pumpkin patches have one very big thing going for them, they’re fresh! Your pumpkins will look good and last longer. For another? Supporting local businesses is always a great idea!

Look, other than longevity and economics, your small town pumpkin patches frequently hold more varieties and tons more choices than anything the big box will possess.

An Event Not an After-Thought

Besides the price, small town pumpkin patches often have those little touches that make picking out a pumpkin an event instead of an after-thought.

From petting zoos and hayrides to unusual pumpkins and local honey (perfect for allergy sufferers!) each one is as different as the next!

If you are all about buying American products, starting locally with your everyday (or, in this case seasonal) purchases is a great start.

Seasonal Fun

I don’t have just a handful of reasons why you should head out to an Indiana pumpkin patch, I have over 30 reasons!
