SANTA CRUZ, CA — There’s still time this fall to stroll around a pumpkin patch or field in the Santa Cruz area and pick the best pumpkin for a jack-o’-lantern.

A trip to the pumpkin patch is a fall favorite for many families in the Santa Cruz area. Many fields have free activities like corn mazes, hayrides and apple cider tastings.

It’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website for coronavirus-related guidelines and hours of operation.
