The great thing about living in Brandon, Valrico, Riverview and east Tampa during the fall is how close you are to a lot of farms!
It’s PUMPKIN SPICE everything season so hooray for pumpkins and pumpkin patches and spice and nice! There are tons of fun ways to celebrate fall in Florida, even if it means sipping apple cider in shorts and flip flops instead of scarves and boots. While the leaves might not be changing, the vibe around town is and that means it’s time for all things fall and what better way to celebrate than by checking out a great local area pumpkin patch?
Also, make sure to check out our list of the perfect Instagram Worthy Pumpkin Patches for the perfect shot (because if you don’t share pics, did it ever really happen?).
Brandon’s pumpkin patches are great, and we’ve also included Tampa pumpkin patches and north of Tampa pumpkin patches in this list too! So check out these Brandon Pumpkin Patches and pick out a great gourd to carve up!
