This morning, we head out to North Arm Farm in Pemberton to check out their pumpkins and fall scenery. Our first stop was Mount Currie Coffee Co. for a couple of Americanos and homemade baked goods for the littles, and while we were there we couldn't help but notice these beautiful 8oz kids cups made by local potter Amy Hazeldine ($24).
If you haven't been to North Arm Farm, it sits on 45 acres of organically grown fruits and veggies with panoramic mountain views, a bakery full of beautiful fresh-baked pies and all sorts of goodies ranging from winter squash and mini pumpkins to cauliflower and kale.
The kids (we had a five, three and two one-year-olds) loved the animals (roosters, chickens, ducks and livestock), the giant swings, the old shack and the tractor. As for the pumpkin patch itself, the wagon only runs on the weekends and since it's a bit of a trek for the wee ones (and we'd heard its a bit of an average year in terms of selection) we opted for lunch at the Wildwood Bistro and Bar.
This sure beat the Richmond patch we'd visited for the past few years and if you plan to head up this weekend be sure to bring hand sanitizer (we couldn't find a hand-washing station) as well as a change of clothes and footwear, especially for the younger ones who aren't as stable on their feet.
Yipee! What a great day to go! Looking forward to our trip up there! The Pony in Pemberton is also a great spot for lunch!
