Fall in Wisconsin is pretty fantastic! And one of our favorite family activities is to visit the local farms, pumpkin patches & orchards. Luckily there are lots of places like that right here in the Greater Madison Area!
There are so many farms and orchards in the Madison area that I’m just going to list them. Feel free to let us know which ones you’ve been to and enjoyed in the comments below!
