SCOTCH PLAINS-FANWOOD, NJ — Autumn in the Scotch Plains-Fanwood area is often filled with fun family traditions: that first sip of hot apple cider, cool nights around a bonfire and the annual 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 fairly 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.
