Where to Find Pumpkins and Fall Activities in Marin – 2022
By Becky Wiegand,
Manager, Digital Communications
September 26, 2022
Marin’s agricultural community is in peak harvest season, with golden hillsides and swelling pumpkin patches as the fall months have arrived.
With that in mind, we wanted to bring you the latest on where to get out on the land, enjoy the season’s harvest, partake in spooky fall delights, and pick up your home’s decorative-gourd-season decor.
While our hope is that you will get out in nature to appreciate the fruits of the labors from months (and years) of land stewardship and tending, we’ve also included some plain old fun activities for the whole family happening in and around Marin.
Keep in mind that hours, fees, COVID restrictions, and event details may change, so please confirm with each of the vendors and event hosts below before venturing out for a day of fun on the land.
