Typically, we don’t get our Thanksgiving pumpkin pie from Costco, but it’s reassuring to know they are readily available during the season. I mean just look at this. Fresh produce and pumpkin pies!
No worry, although the pies go fast, there’s more coming from the bakery.

Out on the Windward side tucked away near the Ko’olau Range is Waimanalo Country Farms. Starting this year, this family farm started their own pumpkin patch for kids to pick carvable pumpkins.
Not as sprawling as the popular Aloun Farms pumpkin patch, the Waimanalo Pumpkin Patch is a good alternative for the Windward side. Although the farm is smaller, there are lots of pumpkins, a hay ride, a corn maze, and additional activities for the kids.
Here are some pics of what you can expect.
