Every year we tell ourselves that we're going to go to a real pumpkin patch to find our jack-o-lantern bodies, but before we know it Halloween is the next day and we end up picking pumpkins at Sam's Club. This year we made it a point to find the most sincere pumpkin patch in the area from which to extract our gourds. Wow that's a strange sentence.
Our friend Christie recommended Barthel farms in Mequon, which also includes acres and acres of pick-your-own apple orchards. We picked a peck or so and I'm still trying my hardest to eat them all before they turn into smelly apple goo. Zoe very much enjoyed pushing the pumpkin wagon around the patch, and she nibbled on every apple she could get a hold of. Can you believe there are actual people out there that know how to turn pumpkins into a food item? We searched the farm, but weren't able to find a tree bearing cans of pumpkin pie filling. I assume we were there too early for that harvest. Autumn is such a cool season.
