USA Today recently released its list of best fall activities in America, part of its 2024 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, and Treworgy Family Orchards in Levant, Maine ranked No. 1 for best pumpkin patch and best corn maze.
Wrote USA Today, “there’s just something about visiting a pumpkin patch, many with hayrides and yummy treats, that puts you in the fall spirit.”
About Treworgy, the publication wrote, “When visiting Treworgy Family Orchards, you may want to hop aboard the hayride or take a horse-drawn farm tour so you can get a good look at the expansive pumpkin patch. After all, it covers 8 miles of rows! Once you find the pumpkin you want, you can visit the goats or celebrate with ice cream.”
