Pumpkins & Pies.

Hunting for pumpkins has started to become a tradition — and Burt's Farm (near bro's cabin in Blue Ridge) provides the best venue for it. You have to go mentally prepared that it's going to be a mob scene and dressed appropriately to maneuver a giant wheelbarrow full of your finds between unaware children and their parents. So many varieties, colors and sizes, plus apple pie and cider. I left $30 poorer, but 6 pumpkins and 1 gourd richer. Totally worth it.
