My thoughts:  We went last year and had a fun time.  Here's where I posted about our trip to the pumpkin patch.  However, with the human trafficking allegations and pending court hearing for the owners of Aloun Farms we're skipping their event this year.

Thank you for reminding readers of the human trafficking crimes that the owners of Aloun Farms pleaded guilty to. I too visited the pumpkin patch every year with my kids, but will not this year and my kids understand and appreciate why. I'm glad there's an alternative available.
