Where to Pick Your Own Pumpkin In & Around Tucson

Whether it's a pumpkin spice drink, Halloween-themed decor in and outside of your home, or the shade of color you've chosen to wear this month, a lot of people are seeing orange these days. Also, don't let anyone tell you that nothing rhymes with orange because Blorenge (a small mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made) totally do. It's also a great time of year to visit a nearby pumpkin patch or pumpkin-filled parking lot. It's a two-for-one when it comes to supporting local farms and adding to the festivities at your home.

So, aside from doing wonders for your hearing (they protect against age-related hearing loss linked to low potassium levels), they're great for baking pumpkin pies and carving. Below are a few spots in town giving you a chance to pick out the gourd of your dreams.
