Pumpkin Patches in Vermont

Equinox Valley Nursery – Manchester, VT

Equinox Valley is my favorite pumpkin patch in Vermont. Located on historic Route 7A in Manchester, Vermont, the Equinox Valley Nursery begins to transform into a popular Halloween themed-pumpkin patch beginning in mid-August through November. 

Have a fun Fall day picking out your own pumpkins for pie and jack-o-lanterns and taste the incredible homemade cider donuts and apple cider. Pumpkin bread, ice cream and other fall treats are available.  As you wander through the pumpkin patch and corn maze, say hello and take some photos with some  “spooky” characters and whimsical scarecrows. Take a hayride and visit the gift shop, where you will find a talking bird, turtles, seasonal plants and unique fall decorations.

At Hathaway Farm & Corn Maze, located in Rutland, you will find a Livestock Barn to visit, a Corn Pit to jump in and …wait for it…a BRAND NEW WAGON TRAIN to ride in! This awesome Fall attraction will be open in August, when the corn is green, high, and really fun to find your way around. There are 13 acres and clues may be found with your Smartphone. There are 3 bridges (one is a 4-way bridge!) and an Early Exit if needed. The mini-maze has a Story Walk featuring Thor to follow along with you.
