Each listing was built from the farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages, then checked by email where something was missing. The date of that check sits on every listing above.
The farms were checked on their own websites on 25 and 26 September, and Central Arlington’s Pumpkin Patch confirmed its details by email. Hall’s, Fritz Park and Pumpkin Nights come from our Grapevine page, including what they told us by email. Country Critters hasn’t published its last day, and Pumpkin Nights is an after-dark display rather than a pick-your-own patch.
