Located in nearby Bethel at 125 Plumtrees Rd., a fall favorite is Blue Jay Orchards. While the farm has a large pumpkin patch, they don't offer "pick your own". They stated on their website: "Blue Jay must grow our pumpkins at another location because even with 120 acres we don't have enough open space to produce all the pumpkins that we sell during the fall. Our pumpkins are harvested and brought to Blue Jay and placed in our patch assuring you a great pumpkin for the fall".
