The Best Farms, Orchards, and Pumpkin Patches Near Chicago | Eater Chicago
"Pumpkin picking is just the beginning of the spooky season attractions at Goebbert’s, which has a duo of locations in South Barrington and Pingree Grove. Through Tuesday, October 31, those who make the trip will be rewarded with pig races, camel rides, a giraffe barn, and even a giant mechanized “dinosaur” that devours whole pumpkins. The farm’s dining options at the Red Barn Cafe & Bakery are just as extensive with standouts like apple cider slushies and chili cheese dogs to pumpkin squares and Aunt Patty’s pecan pie." - Naomi Waxman
