Crisp air, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin spice everything – fall has officially arrived on Prince Edward Island! Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin to carve, fresh apples to bake a pie, or just a fun weekend activity, PEI’s farms deliver all the charm you need.
Here are some of the best pumpkin patches and apple picking spots on PEI to visit this fall.
1) Arlington Orchards – Arlington
Best for: Apple picking, family fun, and fall photo ops
2) Compton’s Vegetable Stand – Summerside
Best for: Pumpkins and seasonal produce
Located just outside Summerside, Compton’s is a local favorite for fall produce. The farm stand overflows with pumpkins, squash, and other fresh vegetables in the autumn months. While it’s not a U-pick, it’s perfect for grabbing pre-picked pumpkins for decorating or carving.
3) Kool Breeze Farms – Summerside
Best for: Family fall festival vibes
Every fall, Kool Breeze Farms transforms into a “Pumpkin Patch” complete with wagon rides, corn mazes, and fun photo ops. Kids can pick their own pumpkins and enjoy a mini fall fair atmosphere right in Summerside.
Bonus: They often host special Halloween-themed weekends.
