Whether you’re looking to hit up a favorite haunted house or to get some fall produce, you’ll be able to find it around Seattle.

But what if you don’t have a favorite place to go to? Well, today, we are taking a closer look at some of the U-Pick farms around the city to help you narrow your search down. Remember to check out the weather and their websites for local updates before making any plans to visit.
