Picture-perfect pumpkin patch

Monday was a picture-perfect day to pick a pumpkin at Clark County’s retail farms. Carson Katain, 4, and his sister, Everley, 2, enjoyed their outing to Joe’s Place Farms in east Vancouver. Other retail pumpkin farms this year include Bi-Zi Farms in Glenwood, the historic Pomeroy Farm near Yacolt, Walton Farms in Camas, and Velvet Acres Gardens in east Vancouver. In addition to the pumpkin patch, Joe’s Place also offers a corn maze, straw tepee, fort maze, and hay rides, as well as a variety of fall produce for sale. For more information on all of the local pumpkin patches, including hours, see the Oct. 13 Weekend section.
