When the air becomes chilly and the leaves begin to turn, everyone knows it’s pumpkin time in Pittsburgh! While you were having fun during the summer, farmers in the area were tending to their patches to ensure a plentiful crop of pumpkins for you to enjoy this harvest season.

Whether you head east, west, north, or south of Pittsburgh, you will find a farm eager to provide you with the perfect pumpkin and fun visit to the farm. Below is a list of some of the places in our area where you can enjoy fall festivities.

The SpringHouse, Eighty Four, PA

The SpringHouse is a family dairy farm and old-fashioned country store and restaurant in Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, just five miles east of Washington, PA on Route 136.  Family-recipe eats, old-tyme treats, and farm fresh milk and goodies can be enjoyed year round.  Fall on the SpringHouse farm means tractor rides to the Pumpkin Patch and tons of old fashioned fun to go along with your pick of the pumpkin patch.  Giant hay bales, baby animals, and a 125-character PumpkinLand are just some of the fun for your memory making experience on our three-generation family farm.  For additional information, please visit:  sprnghousemarket.com.
