For a little pumpkin patch option, the Second Congregational Church in Winchester runs an annual fall pumpkin patch. It begins at the end of September and runs through until Halloween. Located on Washington Street the patch is outside the stone church, with street parking on Washington Street and Kenwin Road.
A few baked goods are available and wagons to pick the pumpkins, which are priced from $1.00 on. It is run by church members volunteering and most of the proceeds to go charity, specifically the Navajo Nation, the Winchester Middle School after school programs, and a local food pantry.
This year hours are:
Mon: Fri 2- 7pm
Sat: 10 -5 pm
Sun: 12- 5 pm
and Columbus Day from 10-5
They also run special fair days, that include kiddie activities.

Raspberry Picking at Wright-Locke Farm
Raspberry picking is available at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester through the first frost. Located on Ridge Street in Winchester, the raspberry bushes are organic and is the perfect size for an outing with toddlers and preschoolers. Entrance is free and you pay per pound for the raspberries. It's a fun, local and fast picking alternative to apple orchards. There are a few animals to see and chickens to feed the underripe raspberries to.
