Bloomington

Fowler Pumpkin Patch charges nothing for admission or parking; you pay only for what you pick or ride. The corn maze is cut into the shape of a sun to support melanoma awareness, and the patch also runs hayrides, a petting zoo, and a barrel train through the fall. The 2026 season opens September 19, with hours running Tuesday through Sunday and expanding on weekends. It's a family-owned stop on Greene County Line Road, south of Bloomington.

Springville

Bar P Ranch continues a tradition Charlie and Esther Parton started in 1965, running horses and cattle on the family's land outside Springville. The ranch stays active in the community today, with more than 700 people following its horse-and-cattle operation on Facebook.

Spencer

On the banks of the White River in a former limestone quarry, this family farm raises heritage breeds of cattle, sheep, goats, and rabbits. Camp, tour the farm, feed the animals, try farm fresh foods.

Bedford

Applacres has sold apples out of Bedford since 1937, and the Byers family has run the orchard since 1962 under current owner Dave Byers. Alongside apples and peaches in season, the farm market on State Road 37 carries fresh-squeezed cider, caramel apples, Amish goods, old-fashioned candy, preserves, jams, and fresh flowers.

Bedford

Pinhook Pumpkins & Gourds is a low-key, family-run pumpkin patch on Pinhook Road in Bedford, with u-pick jack-o-lantern pumpkins, a corn maze, and hayrides. Their Craft Barn stocks handmade gifts alongside squash, gourds, and cut flowers. Admission and parking are free — you just pay for what you pick. They typically open the last weekend of September and run through October; check Facebook for exact dates.

Morgantown

Zink Berry Farm grows blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries on 95 acres without pesticides or herbicides, and lets customers pick their own or buy berries already off the bush. The same land supports a herd of Kiko and Kiko-Boer goats, which kid every February and go up for sale in May. It's open daylight to dark, seven days a week, during the growing season. Call ahead in the off months, since picking days depend entirely on what's ripe.

Martinsville

Beasley Creek Farms is a u-pick operation on St. John Road in Martinsville, growing corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and cut flowers for visitors to harvest themselves. The farm keeps hours seasonally as crops come ready, so a call ahead is worth it before driving out.

Martinsville

Ozark Fisheries' Martinsville site started in 1899 as Grassyfork Fisheries and holds the record as the oldest continuously operated private fish farm in the country. The fourth-generation operation raises goldfish and koi for wholesale and retail buyers across North America, plus snails, tadpoles, and crawfish, and runs advance-booking farm tours for anyone who wants to see it.

Quincy

Mike Roegge has grown pumpkins for 30 years, and Mill Creek Farm built a fall destination around that expertise — pick-your-own pumpkins plus a corn maze with a built-in scavenger hunt. Earlier in the season the farm sells fresh strawberries and asparagus. The Roegge family also raises pasture-raised pork, chicken, and eggs without pesticides, hormones, steroids, or routine antibiotics.

Bloomfield

Bloomfield Apple Festival takes over the town park in Greene County every October for three days — carnival rides, a parade, live music, food vendors, tractor pulls, and a 5K run. The 2025 dates ran October 3 through 5, with the park open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Bowling Green

Scottish Acres grows blackberries and both red and yellow raspberries on a small farm outside Bowling Green. Self-pick runs $6 a quart; if you'd rather skip the bramble scratches, pre-picked quarts go for $8. It's a bare-bones operation — no gift shop, no mazes, just berries in season and a farm family who'll point you to the right row.

Trafalgar

The Apple Works in Trafalgar has long run as a family apple orchard and pumpkin patch, with a bakery open spring through fall alongside seasonal vegetables and fall festival activities. Recent listings mark the property as temporarily closed or for sale, so confirm status before planning a visit.
