Want to pick Halloween pumpkins in the Kansas City area? Here’s a batch of patches
Pumpkin season is in full swing as Halloween approaches, and you don’t have to settle for buying one the orange gourds at the local grocery store.
You can make a day (or at least an afternoon) of it by driving to one of the many pumpkin patches on both sides of the state line. Most offer activities beyond picking your pumpkins, such as corn mazes, and charge admission. At others, you pay only for your produce.
