Here in Florida, we have the unlucky reality of not truly being able to experience fall the way other states do.

We don’t really get the cool weather, or the changing of leaves, or the ability to curl up next to a fire with a hot pumpkin spice latte.

The one thing we can do, however, is fake it until we make it, and what better way to do that than by posing in front of a pumpkin patch in your best fall attire, regardless of the temperature?

We took the liberty of compiling a list of all the pumpkin patches you can visit to snap a new profile pic, or just grab some pumpkins for Halloween carving and really feel like you’re experiencing the stereotypical fall that everyone romanticizes.
