With the changing leaves and the cooler weather of the fall season come pumpkin patches! It’s that time of year to venture out into the community to find pumpkins to carve, gut, or decorate. The compiled list below will help you do just that, and maybe even donate to a good cause.
Clemmons United Methodist Church
First on the list is the Clemmons United Methodist Church pumpkin patch, located at 3700 Clemmons Rd, Clemmons.

The pumpkin patch is manned by volunteers and is open until Halloween. The abundance of pumpkins is accompanied by a slew of fun games such as tic-tac-toe, ring around the pumpkin, and cornhole.
Hawks Pumpkin Patch
