Fall is always in season, but right now, it’s literally THE season. This means pumpkins are everywhere, and when we say everywhere, we mean everywhere! So, what would autumn be without attending a pumpkin patch or two? Savor the season by visiting one of Jefferson Parish's many pumpkin patches, where you'll find pumpkins suitable for pies, jack-o-lanterns, & holiday table decorations.
