These local farms and markets all offer plenty of fall fun (think cider, doughnuts, animals), plus plump pumpkins in all colors, shapes and sizes.
Farmer White’s // Williamsburg
Pull over at this sweet red-and-white barn for local produce, artisan baked goods, handmade jams and pumpkins galore.
Gallagher’s Farm Market // Traverse City
There’s a reason this family-run farm has a line before they open on the first day of pumpkin doughnut season. You can smell the warm, freshly baked goodies all the way from the pumpkin patch as you pick this year’s favorites.
Jacob’s Farm // Traverse City
In addition to an epic 10-acre corn maze Jacob’s offers U-Pick apples, tractor rides and doughnuts. The farm has also added several exciting amenities including a full-service kitchen, an outdoor bar and more.
