Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Anderson, IN

Anderson

TLC Produce built its name on strawberries — pick your own for $20 a five-quart pail, or buy them already picked at $6 a quart. As the season turns, the farm adds tomatoes, sweet corn, and pumpkins, plus roses and daylily plants for the garden. It's a seasonal operation, so call ahead before making the drive to Anderson.

Anderson

Wildflower Ridge Honey is a small beekeeping operation based north of Indianapolis in Anderson. The lineup runs past jarred raw honey to bee pollen, beeswax, comb honey, honey-sweetened apple butter, and honey peanut butter. It's a one-family operation, so stock shifts with whatever the hives produce that season.

Anderson

Hoosier Park pairs a 54,000-square-foot casino floor with live standardbred harness racing, running roughly 160 race days a year from February into November plus year-round simulcast wagering. It sits just north of Indianapolis on I-69 and has twice been named the area's most popular attraction by the Indianapolis Business Journal. Not a farm stop — a racetrack and casino with deep harness-racing roots.

ANDERSON

Slyfork Valley Nursery in Anderson stocks Indiana's fall lineup — mums in a range of colors, thousands of pumpkins and gourds, plus outdoor poly furniture. It's a family-owned greenhouse operation known locally for its metal yard decorations as much as its plants. Open seven days a week, with shorter hours on Saturday and Sunday.

Anderson

Apple Of His Eye Orchard grows more than 25 apple varieties in Anderson, from newer releases back to old standards like Cortland, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious, plus fresh vegetables. Run as a Christian family business, it has kept regular hours of Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sundays. Call ahead before visiting, since small orchards like this one can shift hours season to season.

Shirley

Jeremiah, Terri, and Jason run this Shirley honey operation, producing around a thousand pounds of honey a year and distributing it across central Indiana through partner retailers and an online shop. The farm also opens for pick-your-own visits alongside its honey sales, splitting its business between the field and the jar rather than picking just one lane.

Lapel

Big Red Bee Company keeps hives on-site in Lapel and sells the full range that comes off them: comb honey, raw and strained honey, beeswax candles, and pollen, retail and wholesale. It's appointment-only, so call or email ahead rather than dropping by.

Fortville

Piney Acres Farm spans 73 acres in Hancock County, with an 8-acre corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and gem mining running through fall. In December, the farm cuts its own Christmas trees and runs a train ride to the North Pole with hot cocoa and fresh-baked cookies. October also brings Piney Acres Scream Farm, a haunted hayride attraction.

Fortville

Wild Blackberry Farms grows thornless, trellised blackberries across 40 wooded acres northeast of Fishers, open for u-pick each July and August. The rest of the year, the same rolling ground works as a wedding and event venue — the family built the business around both the fruit and the land it grows on. Self-pick and pre-picked options are both available during berry season.

Atlanta

Carley Farms keeps elk, whitetail deer, painted desert sheep, chickens, ducks, and peacocks on a small family operation near Atlanta, with tours available by appointment rather than set hours. Clifford Carley runs the place, and it's built more around seeing unusual livestock up close than picking produce or riding a hayrack. Call ahead; there's no walk-up visiting here.

Wilkinson

Randy and Tracy run Hidden Acres with their five sons, growing blueberries and other fruit without synthetic chemicals and picking everything by hand instead of by machine. Orders over $50 qualify for home delivery, which isn't common among u-pick operations this size, and membership options are available for regulars who come back every season.

Atlanta

Mumbe's Orchard & Bee Farm is a family-owned honey operation on East 281st Street in Atlanta, in central Indiana, bottling raw, unfiltered honey on site. The farm also retails beekeeping equipment to other hobbyists and keepers, and adds pumpkins, gourds, and fall decor to its offerings once autumn arrives each year.

Muncie

Mazed & Cornfused is the fall attraction at Hiatt Farms, a family-run grain and cattle operation servicing Delaware County. The corn maze anchors the season on their land along State Road 67, south of Muncie, with the Hiatt family running the farm as a working grain and cattle operation the rest of the year.

Noblesville

The Russell family has farmed this ground for more than 50 years, and each fall they turn part of it into Central Indiana's biggest pumpkin-patch playground. Beyond picking your own pumpkin, visitors work through two corn mazes, ride a hay wagon, climb Mount Russell's slide, and spin through a human hamster wheel. An 18-hole mini golf course and a petting zoo stocked with pigs, goats, peacocks, and miniature ponies round out the property. Admission runs $7; kids two and under get in free.

Muncie

Barnside Blooms is a you-cut flower farm south of Muncie, built around a historic 19th-century barn. The fields run sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds, and more, cut fresh by visitors rather than pre-bundled. It keeps limited weekday hours, Monday through Friday afternoons, with weekend visits by appointment.

Noblesville

Marilyn's Crazy Corn Maze was a 10-acre maze at 14475 Marilyn Road in Noblesville, running Labor Day through early November in past seasons. Recent listings are thin and the official site turns up empty, so confirm it's still running for the current season before planning a trip.

Greenfield

Sunnyside Greenhouses has sold plants out of Greenfield since 1974, first under the Marquis family and, since 1995, under John and Carolyn Moran and their daughter Michelle. The inventory runs from annuals and perennials to vegetable starts, herbs, pond plants, and custom-built planters, with fall mums, pumpkins, and gourds taking over the lot come September. If you can't find what you want, they'll build a custom arrangement on request.

Daleville

Guenthenspberger Farms in Daleville grows the usual Indiana row crops — corn and soybeans — alongside strawberries and several raspberry varieties, sold pick-your-own from an on-farm market. It's a small family operation with a handful of employees, and the farm takes cash or check only, no cards, so plan ahead before a visit.

Springport

The Skeval family runs Whitetail Tree Farm on Buck Creek in Henry County, growing Christmas trees from tabletop size up to nine feet for u-cut and pre-cut sale each winter. For every tree cut, the farm plants several more. Beyond the holiday season, the property doubles as a wedding venue and grows sweet corn, u-pick flowers, and a fall pumpkin patch.

Greenfield

The Family Pumpkin Patch sits off Mt. Comfort Road near I-70 in Greenfield, with hayrides, a corn box, and a pumpkin decorating station rounding out the pick-your-own patch. The Family Fun Center adds fall tattoos and decorating packages for kids' birthday parties and school groups during the fall season.

Noblesville

Barn of Terror is a seasonal haunted attraction at 19807 Hague Rd in Noblesville, running weekend nights each October. Hauntworld has ranked it among Indiana's better haunts. Hours and ticket prices change year to year, so check their Facebook page before you go — and skip it if you're prone to motion sickness from fog machines and strobe lights.

Noblesville

Spencer Farm started with strawberries in 1982 and has since added blueberries, red raspberries, grapes, sunflowers, and pumpkins to its pick-your-own rotation. The farm market sells all-natural beef, pork, and chicken alongside Amish cheeses, cinnamon-roasted nuts, and hand-dipped ice cream. A sister winery operates down the road at 7015 E 161st Street for anyone who wants to turn the visit into an evening.

New Castle

The Jacobs family has run this orchard since 2002 alongside a grain and cattle operation, growing apples and pumpkins on the same ground that also produces corn, soybeans, and wheat. Apple donuts and apple slushies made from their own fruit are the draw locals talk about, along with a sunflower trail and u-pick pumpkins that run August through October. Field trips cover everything from beekeeping to how cider actually gets made, and a petting zoo rounds out the visit.

Morristown

Hanover Grist Mill still grinds flour the way it did in 1917, an original stone mill on an 1852 farmstead turning organic, non-GMO wheat into hard white spring wheat flour, spelt flour, and cornmeal. Nothing gets bagged ahead of time; the mill grinds to order when customers show up, which means what you buy came off the stone that day. Restaurants and home bakers both buy direct.

Selma

Bailey's Place is a restored 1800s cabin turned wedding and event venue on S Whitney Road in Selma, open since 2017. The outdoor grounds sit among woods and open land outside town, and tours run by appointment for couples planning a ceremony, reception, or other gathering on the historic property.

Sharpsville

B & B Berries and More is a Sharpsville u-pick operation built around strawberries, with other locally grown berries added in through the season. It's a small, family-run stand off State Road 19 — call ahead to check what's ripe, since picking windows shift year to year with the weather.

Upland

Victory Acres farms 114 acres near Upland with a mission built around hospitality and discipleship as much as food — a CSA share runs April through October, and u-pick raspberries, cherries, pumpkins, and cut-your-own Christmas trees fill out the rest of the calendar. The property also has walking trails, a prayer chapel, a farm store, and a fall corn maze.

Eaton

Pumpkin Acres is a seasonal pumpkin patch operating in the Eaton area of Randolph County. Online details are thin — locals trade questions about hours in Facebook groups rather than finding them posted anywhere official — so calling ahead before a fall visit is the safer bet.

Parker City

Providence Farm's centerpiece is a converted three-stall Amish barn set on 15 acres east of Muncie, five minutes from Prairie Creek Reservoir. The property also includes an English-style carriage house and an 1800s log cabin, all used for weddings and private events. Pricing, photos, and booking run through the farm's own site and Facebook page rather than a public retail counter.

Tipton

Nothing but Nature Farm runs a u-pick operation along US 31 in Tipton, with broccoli, cucumbers, eggplant, onions, peaches, peppers, pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes rotating through the season. It's a hands-in-the-dirt kind of stop — you pick what's ripe rather than grabbing a pre-filled basket. Call 765-963-4430 or email [email protected] to check what's ready.

Hagerstown

Ed and Debbie Bell have run this Hagerstown strawberry farm since 1969, and Indiana named it Farm Family of the Year in 2006. Strawberry season runs roughly a week before Memorial Day through Father's Day, u-pick and pre-picked, with asparagus, blackberries, raspberries, and Amish-grown hanging baskets rounding out the year. Closed Sundays.

Sheridan

Stuckey Farm has been growing apples in Sheridan for more than 50 years, with roughly 4,000 trees producing 37 varieties for u-pick season. The Country Market sells fresh-pressed cider and cider donuts, wagon rides run through the orchard, and a 60-foot slide anchors the kids' play area. It's a working cider mill, not just a pumpkin-patch photo-op — you can watch the pressing in action. Call 317-769-4172 or email [email protected].
