The days get shorter, the leaves change color, it will soon be Halloween and finally there are no mosquitoes in the parks! Autumn is here!

 


What a wonderful time to rediscover the hills and forests, which each day wear a new variegation of shimmering tones. The animals are active and preparing gently for winter. They are more visible since the heat has faded. We can pull out our favorite outfits, and the plaids and shawls gracefully adorn the shoulders.


It’s time for apple harvests, corn mazes, hot chocolate, but most of all, it’s time to pick pumpkins!

 


Of all shapes and colours, they are the queens of our autumn tables. Both beautiful in decoration and delicious, they allow all kinds of sweet and savoury delights. So if you too like to share these moments with your family, here is a selection of the most beautiful places to pick your pumpkins!

1) La Ferme Marineau

4356 Bd Dagenais O, Laval, QC H7R 1L5

This farm has been in existence since 1921 and has become a staple of agri-tourism in Quebec. Depending on the season, you can find farm products, a well-stocked fruit and vegetable stand, a children’s play area, a crèmerie, and of course a pick-your-own! Blueberries, strawberries, sunflowers and of course pumpkins! Right now, the fields are full of beautiful pumpkins of different varieties, in a beautiful country setting that will lend itself to the creativity of photographers! The ideal place to make beautiful family memories!

2) Citrouilleville

Ferme Benoit Vernier, 560 69e Avenue Saint-Zotique, Québec, Canada J0P 1Z0

The perfect place to immerse yourself in the Halloween atmosphere. Open about a month and a half before Halloween, this real pumpkin-built village is perfect for those who love the monster festival without wanting to be afraid. Especially with toddlers, costume parties can be scary. In Pumpkin Town, you can, at the turn of the corn maze, meet nice monsters who will tell you the story of this village like no other. You will also find a straw maze, and several photobooth to immortalize your family memories in a playful setting.

3) La Ferme Le Bunker

526, route Prévost, Saint-Laurent Île d'Orléans

The Alain Plante Farm on Île d'Orléans is a popular destination in the fall. There is a wide variety of vegetables available for pick-your-own: leeks, onions, beets and carrots, squash and of course pumpkins. You will be really well received, in the bucolic setting of the Île d'Orléans which lends itself so much to relaxation and epicurism! And as a pleasure never comes alone, you will also enjoy a breathtaking view of the River.

485 QC-133, Sabrevois

The Reid Farm in Haut-Richelieu offers a truly unique pick-your-own experience every year.

The most daring will be able to brave the 23000m2 of the labyrinth in the dark! A 45mn family route allows you to discover part of the maze with the little ones. It takes 1h30 for the second route. There is also a mini farm to visit where you can meet goats, rabbits, quails, ducks, rooster, turkeys, pheasants, chickens.
