Pumpkin patch open

The Pumpkin Patch and Fall Farm Stand at Little Island Farm and Flowers (above) is open every Saturday and Sunday in October from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There are train rides for the kids, plenty o' pumpkins, apples, winter squash, decorative seasonal pieces, and local honey and jams. This is the fifth year that farm owners Kim and Michael Howell have opened their gates to this bit of fun. Pick up a Puget Island Autumn Passport while you are there, then stop by the Little Island Creamery and Puget Island Gardens. Get a stamp at all three places and you can win prizes. 316 E.
