First Day of 2021 Autumn Pumpkin Season: Rondriso Farm Pumpkin Patch

 Yesterday is the first day of fall pumpkin season for most pumpkin patches in Canada.

Our family usually go to the pumpkin patch once a year, and we went to Rondriso Farm Pumpkin Patch last year.  This year, we decided to do the same.  The entrance fee this year is 5 dollars per person.  (Adult and kids the same).  Hay rides are extra 2 dollars per person.

After you park at the farm, you will see two farm areas you can visit:  Chickens and cows areas.

Chicken Eating Pumpkins

Amazingly, they actually feed the chickens pumpkins!  Why not.  It is organic, healthy and not wasteful!

After the chicken area, you can head to the cow area to see them eat hay:

You will see about 20 cute cows in the area.

Amazingly, all of the cows have names!

After this, you can take the hay ride or walk to the pumpkin patch area:

You will see all kinds of pumpkins in the patch: long, thin, weird shaped, orange, red, spotted, white, green, etc.

Found this cute pollinator:

bumblebee?

They have a small general store that sells pumpkins and some veggies.  They used to have all you can take for one bag of small pumpkin for 10 dollars, but not this year.  This year's small pumpkins are 2 for 5 dollars. 

I bought some and found that walmart is way cheaper.  3 dollar per bag with lots of small pumpkins.

So, do think about it when you decide to buy in the farms.
