The best part of fall in the Tri-Cities is finding that perfect pumpkin to carve up. My favorite pumpkin as a kid was when my half-sister painted a Batman face on my pumpkin, and I loved it.

So here are the three best pumpkin patches in my humble opinion around the Columbia Basin, and they are in no particular order:

1. Middleton Farms (Pasco)

Located at 1050 Pasco-Kahlotus Rd outside of Pasco, Middleton Farms has a large fall festival theme where you'll find a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay rides, and farm games.

Rik's Quick Tip: It can get busy; going earlier in the season or earlier in the day will help you avoid crowds.

2. Country Mercantile (Pasco)

Another awesome pumpkin patch. Located at  232 Crestloch Rd, just a bit outside of Pasco, is a great place to hang out and sip on apple cider.

You'll find a pumpkin patch plus extra fun like hay-bale mazes, small carnival rides, bobbing for apples, and family-friendly fall activities.

Rik's Quick Tip: Check for weekend vs weekday pricing or special events; weekends tend to fill up

Our final pumpkin patch might not get as much love, but worth checking out is Job's Nursery and Pumpkin Patch.

3. Job’s Nursery & Pumpkin Patch (Pasco)

Located at 4072 Columbia River Rd, you can expect some fun stuff.

Job's offers a U-pick patch; it's a nice option if you want to pick your own pumpkin straight from the patch. No entry fee; pay by the pound.

Rik's Quick Tip: Since it’s “grab-your-own” style, wear sturdy shoes (fields can get messy) and come prepared with a cart or something to haul your selection.

My wife and I love all three of these patches, so there are a few of my favorite pumpkin patches that are worth checking out this Halloween season.
