Labor day weekend has passed, and the school year is in full swing, which has us wishing for pumpkin-everything, the smell of autumn leaves in the air and good ole fashion hay rides. As the weather changes in Missoula, the fall activities start gearing up for the season and local Missoulians and visitors come out to enjoy all of their favorite fall activities. We did some digging to find all of the fall (and Halloween!) festivities you won't want to miss.
Looking for a pumpkin? Around town there are several places to source out the perfect pumpkin for your carving or baking needs! Pumpkins can be found at various local markets - including the Saturday morning Farmers Market as well as pumpkin patches here in Missoula.
Turner Farms is a small, organic family farm rooted in the Orchard Homes area since 2006. Their pumpkin patch is open and ready to explore Monday and Thursday 12:00-5:00pm, Friday and Saturday 12:00-6:00pm, and Sunday 12:00-5:00pm. For updates on their hours and operations, check out their social media.
