It's just about time for fall and it's time to take those adorable pictures of your children and pets in a local pumpkin patch.Here are my favorite places to check out pumpkins for the fall season.


1. St. Lukes UMC
St. Luke’s UMC on Youree Drive has provided the community with the Pumpkin Patch since 1990.  They will open Sunday, October 4th after they feed all their help and unload about 3,000 pumpkins by hand from the truck and will remain open till October 31st or until they sell out of Pumpkins. In the past twenty years, the Pumpkin Patch has donated more than $200,000 to missions.  The Pumpkin Patch is a mission project for St Luke’s and 100% of the profit from the sale of pumpkins is given to local missions.


2. Dixie Corn Maze
Not only is this a great place for exploring the maze and the great big corn pit, but they also have a great pumpkin patch. It's easy to find. It's just a few short miles north of Shreveport just off of the new I-49 freeway. Travel north on North Market St. out of Shreveport toward Texarkana. Follow detour signs leading to I-49 off of North Market (Veer to the left on Hwy 1), then follow I-49 to exit 223. Take exit 223 and turn right on Hwy.169. Follow Hwy 169 (Sentell Rd.) for 2.2 miles and DixieMaze Farms is on the left.
