Popular Pumpkin Patch Farms Near West Chester

WEST CHESTER, PA — Autumn officially started weeks ago in the West Chester area, and that means it's time to start planning your family’s yearly jaunt to the country to find the best pumpkins.

Paying a visit to a local pumpkin patch is a great opportunity to pick out the perfect Halloween jack-o'-lantern. It also is a way for families to spend a fun-filled day together as most fields offer free activities such as hayrides, corn mazes and games for the kids.

A Patch editor's favorite is Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs because of its creamery, serving delicious ice cream to visitors after they've toured the farm and picked their pumpkins.

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