Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Gooding, ID

Gooding

Ballard Family Dairy & Cheese milks Jerseys in Gooding and turns the milk into handcrafted cheddar, halloumi-style grilling cheese, cheese curds, and a Danish-style pearl gouda. The farm runs on solar water heating and LED lighting, ships its cheese nationwide, and takes visitors by appointment.

Jerome

Apple Creek Farm was a small apple orchard on South 350 West in Jerome, in Idaho's Magic Valley. Regional u-pick directories listed it as no longer operating as of 2021, so it's worth a call to confirm current status before planning a visit.

Hagerman

Simon Boers Chevon operates out of Hagerman, in the Snake River farmland of the Magic Valley. Chevon is the market term for goat meat, which the name suggests is the farm's focus, but no website or listing confirms current products or how to buy.

Filer

Kelley's Canyon Orchard has worked this stretch of the Snake River Canyon north of Filer since 1908, making it one of Idaho's designated Century Farms. Nine fruit varieties come out of the ground here — apples, apricots, sweet and tart cherries, grapes, nectarines, pears, peaches, and plums — alongside a peony flower field. Baskets and ladders are provided for u-pick visitors, and hives kept on-site handle the pollinating. Season runs June through October; hours shift, so check Facebook first.

Buhl

OPA's Garden in Buhl grows a wide list of vegetables — beans, beets, carrots, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplants, melons, onions, peppers, pumpkins, and both summer and winter squash — sold u-pick or pre-picked depending on what's ready. Saturday hours run 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., with weekday visits available by appointment.

Buhl

Valley View Lavender Farm grows lavender outside Buhl, in the Snake River canyon country of Idaho's Magic Valley. No current website or listing was found to confirm bloom season, u-pick access, or products sold.

Buhl

Northview Orchard grew apples, cherries, nectarines, pears, peaches, and plums for u-pick and pre-picked sales on East 4500 North in Buhl. The property sold in 2023, so the orchard operates under new ownership now — confirm current status before planning a visit.

Buhl

Leonard Crismor grows pumpkins and sweet corn on East 4100 North in Buhl, running a u-pick patch each fall that's become a fixture for Magic Valley families. Hours typically run early afternoon on weekdays and open earlier on weekends through the pumpkin season. Check their Facebook page for the current season's exact dates and pricing.

Jerome

Raugust Strawberry Farm was a pick-your-own strawberry operation run by Arlen Raugust on 300 South in Jerome. Magic Valley Times-News coverage marked 2012 as the farm's final season, and PickYourOwn.org later confirmed the operation had closed for good. The address still turns up in older farm listings, but there's no active strawberry patch to visit here now.

Twin Falls

The Detweiler family cuts nine acres of twelve-foot corn into three separate mazes, 4.5 miles of path combined, on their Poleline Road farm outside Twin Falls. A haunted version opens mid-October alongside a kiddie maze, games, and a gift shop; the farm also sells pumpkins and books school tours. Closed Sundays.

Twin Falls

The Twin Falls Corn Maze carved roughly nine acres of ten-foot corn at Grandview Drive North and Poleline Road West, with three trail options — a half-mile kids' loop, a 1.5-mile route, and a nearly five-mile full maze. Farmer Wyatt Detweiler ran it as a fall destination with birthday parties and group reservations. Local news reported the maze did not reopen in 2019, so confirm current status before visiting.

Twin Falls

Kirk and Heidi Tubbs started this Twin Falls farm in 2005 growing strawberries and raspberries for their four-year-old daughter, and it kept expanding from there. Today the operation runs a beekeeping program with classes, a small farm store, and one of Idaho's larger seed garlic operations — certified disease-free stock grown inside the state's white-rot quarantine zone since absorbing My Dad's Garlic in 2018. Fall brings a pumpkin patch and straw maze, and local teens work the farm each summer.
