Fall brings pumpkin patches to life in the Hillsborough area.

(Autumn Johnson/Patch)

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Fall in the Hillsborough area is often filled with fun family traditions: that first sip of hot apple cider, cool nights around a bonfire and the yearly trip 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 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.
