Why pick a regular pumpkin when you could pick a giant one?! If you’re going all out with your decor this spooky season, Warner Ranch and Pumpkin Farm in Ontario has jumbo-sized jack-o-lanterns you can pick.

According to their website, the Niagara-based farm is open seven days a week until October 31st.

“We offer pumpkins of every shape and size with a selection of GIANT pumpkins,” their website says.

They have a huge selection of items for all your autumn and spooky season decorating needs.

That includes “thousands of colourful gourds, corn stalks, straw, hay bales, apples, squash, Indian corn, and more.”

Last year, they even had “warty goblin pumpkins” for sale, according to their Instagram.

While you’re there, you can visit the farm animals for an additional $2, the corn maze experience for $3, and the tractor hay ride on weekends for $4.

You’ll want to come back to this spot in the winter too, because they offer enchanting horse-drawn sleigh rides through snow-covered forests on beautiful Olde English-style sleighs.
