While many enjoy the thrills and chills of an awesome haunted house experience, here at the Jones’ household we keep things a little tamer. We have a family member who is awesome at self regulating herself when it comes to perceived scary things, so a trip to a pumpkin patch is all we need to get us in the autumn mood. If you add a corn maze, farm store, and some cool crisp air, then you have the perfect recipe for an enjoyable autumn afternoon.
Here are some places with a pumpkin patch near Locust Grove to visit if you are looking for a pumpkin to carve into a jack o lantern or just to decorate your front porch.
