Brentwood Country Mart Honor System Pumpkin Patch

The Brentwood Country Mart’s annual Honor System Pumpkin Patch is now open. The Country Mart announced on Instagram that you can “choose your canvas—small, medium, or large, in a range of colors. Let the carving begin. Available until October 31.” It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the other patches but has the virtue of being able to get in, select your pumpkin, pay for it, and leave quickly and easily. 

Mr. Bones Pumpkins:

Mr. Bones Pumpkins, formerly a staple of West Hollywood, is now located at 3443 S Sepulveda Boulevard in Culver City. While the location is smaller, it does have onsite paid parking as well as fun activities including face painting, pumpkin decorating, a petting zoo, slides, a straw maze, giant rocking horses, food trucks, and a pumpkin village. 

The patch opened for business last week and will remain open until October 30. For more information about parking please click here. Street parking is available, but be sure to check all posted signs to avoid parking tickets, particularly on College Blvd. The patch has a new mascot, a giant owl made of mini-pumpkins.
