Elkhart

The Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal fall farm on County Road 105 outside Elkhart, part of a stretch of Elkhart County pumpkin patches that includes bigger neighbors like Kercher's and Knollbrook Farm. Specifics on this particular patch's offerings aren't published online, so a call ahead is the most reliable way to check what's growing.

Pick your own for $2.25 a pound or grab a flat already picked at the stand.

Hours shift with the weather, so a call ahead saves a wasted trip.

Weekend wine tastings run Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and this season brings the orchard's first estate wine from vines planted four years ago.

Nappanee

What was long known as Amish Acres has changed hands and now operates as The Barns at Nappanee, though the 80-plus-acre property still trades on its history of introducing visitors to Amish farm life. The site includes lodging at the Inn, a restaurant serving Amish-style and American fare, and grounds that hosted theatrical productions for decades before the sale. New management is still working out what stays and what changes.

South Bend

South Bend

Julian was a Christian mystic in 14th Century England. She lived as an anchoress--a vowed religious person rooted in one place, living next to one parish church--providing spiritual guidance and prayer for those under her care. We actually don’t even know her real name; she was referred to as Dame or Lady Julian of Norwich because she was the anchoress at Saint Julian Church in Norwich. She is best remembered for her powerful and insightful Meditations, the oldest extant book written by a woman
