If you don't already know this, there is a place you can buy fresh produce in the valley and also go shopping for a Halloween pumpkin, right out of a real pumpkin patch.

Gilcrease Orchard kicks off its fall season on Wednesday, Oct. 1st. The orchard is expecting 1,000-plus pumpkins of all different sizes to be available.

Gilcrease Orchard is a working farm that sells its fruits and vegetables. All you have to do is be willing to pick it. They have apples, pears, zucchini, eggplant, peppers and cucumbers. The orchard also sells fresh homemade apple juice.

The orchard is open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to noon. The admission is $2 for an adult and $1 a child.

Gilcrease is located in northwest Las Vegas. Take US95 north to Ann Road exit. Turn right at Ann Road, and immediately get into the left lane. Take the first left at Tenaya, then follow Tenaya to the right to 7810 N. Tenaya Way.  Gilcrease Orchard is located at the corner of N. Tenaya Way and Whispering Sands.
