October 29, 2025

A few years ago, I visited a few pumpkin farms for the first time, and what a fun autumn outing it is! Now that pumpkin season has started again, most pumpkins have already been harvested, but if you're there in time, you can pick them yourself in some places. Pumpkin picking is a craze that has spread from the United States, where it autumn outing is an integral part of the preparations for HalloweenIt's fun to go to a pumpkin farm with the kids or friends to pick out the most beautiful pumpkins and buy them directly from the farmer. It's a tradition we'll be keeping up this fall! This month, I took another fun pumpkin-hunting tour through North Holland, and my son Manuel and I bought the most beautiful pumpkins at Pumpkin Farm Bos.
