A trip to your local Pumpkin Patch is one of the most popular things to do in October as a family. This year we checked out Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch Farm in Redlands, CA. The farm was jam-packed with things to do in addition to its homegrown pumpkin patch.
Going on the Tanaka Farms U-Pick Wagon Rides with Santa worked out perfectly for us. Our oldest daughter is very much in love with the idea of being a farmer when she grows up so picking veggies and meeting Santa was a win-win.
Now that the girls are a little older we’ve finally been able to start baking again. For this first try, we picked an easy to make shortbread cookie and some beautiful fall colored botanicals. Pressed Leaves and Flowers have been an interesting baking ingredient for us to play with. The variety of colors and tastes have really inspired us into creating some unique cookies.
On weekdays Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch in Irvine, CA offers tickets for a more socially distanced experience. Which they accomplish through specified time slots and smaller capacity. The entire visit takes about 45-60 minutes
