Good news, everyone: We live in the future now and you donât need to borrow someoneâs kids to go to an apple-pickinâ harvest festival. You can just go. Well, you could go before, too, but looks like the farms have decided that our old-ass money folds just the same, and so more and more of them are adding adult-like activities to their punkin parties. This includes but is not limited to wine tastings, ziplines, events that donât end at 4 pm, and evidently, gourd tunnels? Uh, maybe those were actually meant for kids, but theyâre ours now. Go forth, take up space in the gourd tunnels of Washington State, and live your best adult life within them.
Carpinito Bros. in Kent
Carpinito Bros. is the O.G Kent Valley farm stand, although these days, itâs equal parts produce market and nursery/garden center. For more than 50 years, this place has been selling all categories of garden-y stuff: fresh fruit and veg, plant starts, landscaping materials, Christmas trees, and more. And now through Halloween, just a couple miles south of the farm stand, you can tour their corn maze and pick a pumpkin from their patch, after grabbing some cedar bark for the yard and some broccolini for tomorrow nightâs dinner. And just around the corn-er from the corn maze, the Farm Fun Yard has pigs and cows, whom you can personally meet, as well as something called a goat walk. Thatâs where youâll find us, man.
($5â$12 depending on age and attraction, open through Oct 31)
