The pursuit of the perfect pumpkin has begun.

October’s here and so are pumpkin patches.

With Halloween a few weeks away, they’ve popped up across the Inland Empire, from Pomona to the Redlands area and everywhere in between. Many offer other fall activities such as corn mazes, hay rides and games.

Here’s a glimpse at some of the region’s pumpkin patches.
