SCOTCH PLAINS-FANWOOD, NJ — Autumn officially started weeks ago in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood area, and that means it's time to start planning your family’s yearly journey to the country to find the best pumpkins.

There are a few weeks left to pick out a great pumpkin for a Halloween jack-o'-lantern. Many pumpkin patches offer free activities such as hayrides, corn mazes and games for the kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin farm is moderately safe, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before you go, it’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website for guidelines and hours of operation.
