Blue Jay Orchards, Bethel

Address: 125 Plumtrees Road, Bethel
Admission: Free to visit, check the website for tour costs.

There's nothing like Blue Jay Orchards to fully get you in the mood for fall. Enjoy picking your pumpkin from the patch at this 140-acre farm, and while you're there, enjoy some apple picking too! Pumpkins are placed in a field - good for pickers who don't want the plant matter! We love The Farm Market there for baked goods (you have to try the famous apple cider donuts) and a huge selection of jams, jellies, sauces, and fruit butters.

Red barn with pumpkins in front at Bunnell Farm

Bunnell Farm, Litchfield

Address: 524 Maple Street, Litchfield
Admission: No fee

Litchfield’s Bunnell Farm is off the beaten path, but you will love the drive through Litchfield's rolling hills to get there. This is a peaceful spot to get away from it all, breathe in the country air, and find the perfect pumpkin. Like all of the pumpkin farms we have featured, Bunnell Farm has been family owned and operated for many generations, and they can't wait to share their special part of the world with you!

Happy punkin' pickin' everyone!!
