Do you know which pumpkin patches actually have the pumpkins on the ground, in an actual patch, to choose from?  I've never been to any in this state yet, but I was thinking of visiting Carmichael's this year, but from their photos and facebook page comments it LOOKS like their pumpkins for sale are in boxes (they said their pumpkins are always in boxes in response to one person saying they thought they weren't open yet because their pumpkins were all still in boxes), and the ones on the ground seem to be only arranged there for taking pictures on??  Is that the case?  I want my kids to be able to run around on the ground and pick their own pumpkins to take home, not have me dig pumpkins out of a box like I could do at the grocery store and hold them up and show them.  Anyway, just looking for the kind where you can actually pick pumpkins off the ground, not choose them from a box.  Thanks for any help!  I can't afford to check out more than one patch because my kids will insist on wanting a pumpkin each time!  Thanks again.  Other activities aren't that important, the main event here is wandering through the patch choosing pumpkins, so it doesn't have to be a fancy one with hayrides and mazes and petting zoos.  Thanks for any more tips you are able to offer!
