Pumpkin Patches Worth Paying For

There are some things in life worth paying for. Creating memories may be one of them for you. Last week, we gave you a list of free pumpkin patches in the area. This week, we have a list of more places for you to create Fall traditions with your loved ones. These cost money, but we think they’re worth paying for, if you have some room in your budget.
