Tolland Area Pumpkin Patches To Visit In 2021

TOLLAND, CT — Autumn in the Tolland area is often filled with fun family traditions: that first sip of hot apple cider, cool nights around a bonfire and the yearly excursion to a nearby pumpkin patch or field to find the best pumpkin.

Early October can be a great time to pick up pumpkins before the October rush. Plus, many pumpkin patches offer free hayrides, corn mazes and games for kids.

Visiting an outdoor pumpkin patch is relatively safe, but mask and social distancing guidelines and hours of operation may change. Before you go, it’s best to call ahead to the field or check its website.
