Every year when fall rolls around, one of my favorite things to do is head to a farm to pick out pumpkins, mums, apples…all the things that make my heart happy. While you can pick these up at your local grocery store, there’s just something about taking that drive out of town and making an experience of it. So, if you looking for that true fall experience, here are a few places around Dayton that fit the bill.
