Best Places for Pumpkin Picking Around Albany
Whether you've had your first sip of a pumpkin spice latte or heard the crunch of leaves as you walk, by now you should be getting in the fall season spirit.
But what's fall without a pumpkin?
Several Albany-area patches are offering a pumpkin-pickin' experience ripe for the whole family. You can grab one to make a pie, another to get a head-start on your Halloween Jack-o'-lantern—or if pumpkins aren't your thing you can at least mow down on some fresh apple cider donuts.
Here are a few places to pick pumpkins locally and events they have coming up this season:
Indian Ladder Farms (Altamont)
Indian Ladder Farms will kick off its Pick Your Own season in October, where visitors can test their strength by picking the heaviest pumpkins the patch has to offer. Picked pumpkins will be priced by the pound.
