PUMPKIN PATCHING, APPLE PICKING, CORN MAZING, LEAF BLOWING ~ IT’S FALL!
It’s that time of year again. We pull our Fall sweaters out and start dressing in layers. We hope for a cloudless clear sky and switch our iced coffees back to hot.
Yes, it’s Fall in Bergen County… Ready or Not.
So, how about some ideas to keep the gloom at bay and keep the family fun alive?
There’s no better way to enjoy a fall day with the kids than to visit a farm, take a hayride, pick some pumpkins and enjoy the great outdoors. You don’t have to head to the wilds of Sussex County or Upstate New York to experience these autumn pleasures.
