Wander through the most whimsical pumpkin patch this fall.
The Applebarn pumpkin farm, also known as Taves Family Farm in Abbotsford, is one of Metro Vancouver's best pumpkin patches.
Why? Because it seems like a snippet out of Cinderella's fairytale, or at least where her fairy godmother made her a pumpkin carriage. Perhaps it's the life-size pumpkin princess carriage that makes it feel so enchanting.
The magical photo prop can be found among a field of sugar pumpkins which make the best pies and can grow up to 50 lbs, plus other heirloom pumpkins in shades of blush pink, blue, and white.
The Princess Carriage and pumpkin patch will be open Sept. 25 through Oct. 31 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.
Alongside the enchanting pumpkin patch will be a Magical Pumpkin Garden featuring a pumpkin path leading to a pumpkin hut.
"Visitors are invited to walk through the gated garden, which holds crowds of pumpkins and the farm’s mystical gnomes – Merlin and Marisol," says a press release.
The Pumpkin Garden will open a few days after the pumpkin patch on Oct 1 and will run through Oct. 31 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.
The charming farm also offers apple picking, a corn maze, a sunflower garden, petting barn, and kids' play areas with peddle karts and a zipline. And for adults, there's Taves Estate Cidery on-site
Tickets start at $17 and can be purchased online.
