Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Indianapolis, IN

Indianapolis

Easley Winery has poured wine in downtown Indianapolis since 1974, after the Easley family first planted 40 acres of vineyard in Crawford County in 1971. It's the only winery actually located within Indianapolis proper, six blocks from Monument Circle, pouring 20-plus wines and champagnes with an $8 tasting flight. Live music runs the patio May through September.

Indianapolis

dfTOM Urban Farm operates on West Troy Avenue on Indianapolis's south side, offering seasonal farm activities and produce on a city lot rather than open country acreage. Urban farms like this one tend to run smaller and more informal than rural operations, so calling ahead before a visit is the safer bet.

Indianapolis

Josh Welch turned a former horse pasture on Indianapolis's north side into a working berry farm in 2007, and it now runs u-pick blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries alongside a garden shop, fall mums, and local honey. A café on-site handles the in-between-picking hunger, and the venue doubles as event space for showers, corporate outings, and school field trips.

Greenwood

Brownsburg

Montrose Farms sits on the oldest settled property in Brownsburg, land first worked in 1824, and now runs as a suri alpaca ranch. Guided tours, alpaca yoga, felting classes, and overnight stays are all on offer, along with fiber goods and fresh eggs sold from the farm. It's built around humane, sustainable animal care rather than a quick petting-zoo stop.

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.

Fairland

Anderson Orchard grows more than 18 apple varieties on its Fairland property, with both pick-your-own rows and a retail store stocked with already-picked fruit. The country store sells cider, apple butter, preserves, caramel apples, and cider slush alongside candles and seasonal gifts — a straightforward orchard stop rather than a full agritourism production.

Whiteland

Kelsay Farms has stayed in the same family since 1837, seven generations now, and the fall season centers on a seven-acre corn maze with a built-in scavenger hunt. The "Moo Choo" tractor train hauls visitors past calves, goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, and miniature horses, and kids tend to gravitate toward the Hay Bale Mountain and bounce pillow before anything else. The 2026 fall season opens September 25, running weekends through the season.

Danville

Brownsburg Haunts of Hidden River runs haunted hayrides through Arbuckle Acres Park each fall, with wagons rolling from 6 to 10 p.m. on operating nights. The ride winds through wooded trails set up with scares along the route — call ahead, since hours shift around specific dates during the season.

Fairland

The Kemper family has run this 40-acre orchard in Fairland since the 1930s, growing more than 20 apple varieties along with peaches, cantaloupe, watermelon, plums, grapes, pears, tomatoes, sweet corn, and green beans. Pumpkins arrive in fall. Visitors can pick their own or buy pre-selected fruit from the retail store, and there's a playground on site for kids.

P&D Flower Farm spent years running u-pick fields of dahlias and sunflowers on the south side of Indianapolis, plus bouquet workshops and evening events with live music. As of 2023, the farm stopped opening its fields to public picking. Check their Facebook page before planning a visit — the u-pick days here are done, though almost 7,000 people still follow along.

Brownsburg

Natural Valley Ranch runs 30- and 60-minute horseback trail rides across 75 acres along White Lick Creek in Brownsburg, plus riding lessons, summer camps, hayrides, and a petting zoo. The property has a 170-by-50-foot barn with an indoor arena and boarding facilities, and a country cottage is available to rent on site. Trail rides are by reservation only and depend on weather and staffing.

Avon

Nehemiah Ranch runs on 34 acres of woods, farmland, and a barn under renovation, operated by a faith-based nonprofit built around "building lives, character and community through Christ." Beyond weddings, church retreats, and horseback riding, the ranch opens a pumpkin patch for u-pick visitors in the fall. It's open weekdays 9 to 6 and Saturdays 10 to 6, closed Sundays. The barn is currently getting new siding and foundation work, so some areas may be off-limits.

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.

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.

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].

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.

Franklin

Randy and Linda Stout keep Melody Acres running the way it has since 1918, though the farm shifted from row crops back toward produce that shows up on Franklin-area restaurant menus and farmers market tables. Fall squash, carving pumpkins, and tomatoes are the mainstays. The farm also opens its fields for community gleaning days — volunteers once hauled off 500 pounds of tomatoes for local food pantries in a single afternoon.

Danville

Beasley's Orchard has been in the same family since 1946, now in its third generation, and the market still runs out of a barn that dates to the Civil War era. Apples, strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn, and pumpkins come off the same ground, alongside jars of jelly and jugs of fresh cider pressed on site. Fall brings hayrides to the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, an apple cannon, and a u-pick section for anyone who wants to do the picking themselves.

Mooresville

Paul and Carolyn Anderson planted this Mooresville orchard in 1969, and it's grown to 100 acres of apples, peaches, plums, pears, grapes, chestnuts, pumpkins, sweet corn, and more. U-pick runs across apples, raspberries, strawberries, and pumpkins depending on the month, and the weekend concession stand pours apple cider slush from July through November. Open daily from July until just before Thanksgiving.

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.

Clayton

Martha's Orchard hasn't sold apples in years; the 80-acre property west of Indianapolis has become a wedding and event venue, with a party barn that seats up to 220 and wooded grounds for outdoor ceremonies. The land has stayed in the same family since 1832, with a deed originally signed by Andrew Jackson. Wedding packages run roughly $2,439 to $6,000 depending on guest count, averaging around $4,499 for 150 guests.

Fairland

Autumn Hill breeds llamas on a small farm in Fairland, focused on straight conformation and fine suri-type fiber rather than volume. The herd has picked up recognition from the American Llama & Alpaca Association, and the farm keeps a waiting list for crias because demand for its bloodlines outpaces what a small operation can produce. Farm visits are welcome by arrangement.

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.

Danville

The Green Spree is a group tour the Hendricks County Convention & Visitors Bureau built for garden and nature lovers, stringing together stops like Beasley's Orchard, Frazee Gardens, Chateau Thomas Winery, and a beekeeper workshop into one custom day. Groups pick which stops fit their trip rather than following a fixed route. Book it through the CVB out of Danville.

Lebanon

Guernsey Farm runs a u-pick operation in Lebanon built around its Millennium Corn Maze as the main fall draw. Public details beyond the address are limited, so checking current hours and what's ready to pick before visiting is worth the extra step.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jamestown

KD Stables brings animals to you: birthday parties and private events booked through their mobile entertainment service, built around horses and other farm animals kept on the Jamestown property. The business has been listed since 2006, and reviews point to well-cared-for animals and punctual service. It's less a drive-up farm stop than a bookable experience, so call ahead to arrange a visit or event.

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.

Shelbyville

The Blue River Valley Pioneer Fair turns the Shelby County Fairgrounds into a living-history village set between 1822 and 1865, with costumed demonstrators showing the trades that got early settlers through an Indiana winter. The Shelby County Historical Society and the Grover Museum run it every September, with hands-on games for kids alongside the pioneer crafts.

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.

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.
