The Vancouver Pumpkin Patch was fantastic-Large corn maze to explore. Farm animals, Hayride, fun games. Delicious sun ripened tomatoes, at the farm market or U-pick, tasty in salsa, salads, bring bags or boxes if you love fresh produce. Affordable Hot dog stand too, great for hungry kids on a very active day. Shoes may get dirty, it’s a real farm!
