Pumpkin patches are a beloved tradition that captures the essence of fall, and they hold a special place in our hearts, much like my favorite animated classic, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." With the cooler temperatures upon us, it's time to hit the open road with the family and scout your very own 'great pumpkin.' Here are a few of my all-time favorite pumpkin patches in Arizona.

In addition to picking pumpkins, Schnepf Farms offers a range of fun activities for visitors of all ages.
