"It's that time of year, when your 3-year-old is meant to stand in overalls next to a pumpkin twice their size and pose for the photo you'll keep on your mantle for decades. Also known as: pumpkin-patch season. Whether you're looking for the largest pumpkin or the roundest, pumpkins to carve or to eat, we've got a list of some of the best places in the Bay Area to be entertained during pumpkin season."
"A day at the Smith Farm's Pumpkin Patch is an autumnal rite of passage in eastern Contra Costa, where the focus turns from Brentwood's famous corn (and stone fruit and tomatoes) to pumpkins (and pomegranates and persimmons) when the weather changes. Weekends offer special activities: Families can visit the interactive barnyard's animals, demonstration beehive and herb garden; wander the corn maze; play cornhole; and enjoy live music at the gazebo."
Pumpkin-patch season brings family outings, photo opportunities, and seasonal produce across Bay Area farms. Smith Family Farm in Brentwood shifts focus to pumpkins, pomegranates and persimmons and offers interactive barnyard animals, a demonstration beehive, an herb garden, a corn maze, cornhole, and live gazebo music on weekends. Weekends also feature arts and crafts vendors, food trucks and face painting, with an Antique Tractor Expo on Oct. 11-12. Smith Family Farm is open daily through Halloween, charges admission that includes a pumpkin, and accepts only cash or checks. Webb Ranch grows mostly organic pumpkins and offers harvest-season attractions and animal encounters.
