Fall in the Okanagan means hayrides, corn mazes and loading the trunk with pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving pie. Our editors have mapped out the best pumpkin patches and family farms from Vernon to Osoyoos, so you can plan a day trip or a full fall road trip down the valley.

Quick tips before you go:

• Many patches are weather-dependent and some are cash-only, so bring both cash and a card.
• Weekends are busiest. A weekday visit means smaller crowds and better photos.
• Dates and hours change, so check each farm’s website or Facebook page before you leave.
