Where to Pick Pumpkins in Northern Kentucky

Pumpkin season is already starting in Northern Kentucky. Country Pumpkins opens first on September 12, Sugar Ridge follows on September 19, Neltner's Fall Fest starts September 26, and Kinman's Fall Fest opens September 26. McGlasson Farms is open daily into November.

The right farm depends on the kind of day you want. Some are full fall festivals with mazes and rides. One is better for a simple farm-market stop. A couple work well on weekdays when most festival attractions are closed.
