New Brunswick in the fall is chef’s kiss, colourful leaves, cozy cafés, pumpkin patches, and that crisp air that makes you want to throw on a flannel and get outside. Whether you’re planning a weekend road trip or just looking for new ways to enjoy the season close to home, here are 6 fun things to do this fall in New Brunswick.
1. Visit a Local Pumpkin Patch
Nothing says fall like picking your own pumpkin. Check out Hunter Brothers Farm in Florenceville-Bristol or Verger Belliveau Orchard in Memramcook for pumpkins, corn mazes, and fall fun.
2. Stroll Through a Farmers Market
Stock up on fresh produce, seasonal treats, and local crafts at markets like the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market or the Saint John City Market.
3. See the Hopewell Rocks at Low and High Tide
The Bay of Fundy’s famous Flowerpot Rocks look even more dramatic with the golden tones of fall. Visit at low tide to walk on the ocean floor and return at high tide to see them surrounded by water.
