Pumpkin Patch Season is Almost Here, and You Know What That Means…

Posted on by

As the leaves turn orange and yellow and fall to the ground, we are reminded that it’s officially that time of year again! 

Pumpkin patch season! Everyone in the Lower Mainlands favourite family-friendly and cutesy couples activity. Within the vast farmland of the Lower Mainland, there seems to be a patch every other acre. 

I have no problem with these festivities. However, every year I can’t help but laugh at the experience of it all.

We all know the cliches of the Autumn season. I know you see them every year on your Instagram feed. You know, Pumpkin Spice everything, knee-high boots with the socks peeking out at the top, cozy sweater sleeves holding a cup of tea, but most of all doing “nature” for the purpose of an Instagram pic.

Every year.

I’m not even sure if these folks even end up bringing home the pumpkins they picked for their little photoshoot. 

As cynical as I may sound, I actually don’t hate these people. I don’t even really dislike them. If anything, they’re essential to the Autumn in Vancouver experience. Without their constant Instagram posts, I’d be left lonely and dull for the entirety of September and October. 

The Queen of Autumn is pictured above, with her beautiful locks, PSL, and fall tones. 

There are 15 pumpkin patches and corn mazes across Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The end of September is approaching, and starting on the 17th, these patches will begin opening to the public. 

 

Even though I’ve pointed out that I think these pumpkin patches are turning into one big Instagram backdrop, I challenge you starting September the 17th, to grab your family, partner or friends, and head out to the farm to people watch the beauty and hilarity of what fall really is.

And hey, maybe you’ll get a good Instagram picture out of it.
