Sutton Heritage Farms in Lowell, Indiana was established in 1862 and has been home to six generations of the Sutton family.

Harvest Tyme spreads across 45 acres in Lake County and claims the largest u-pick pumpkin patch in the county, backed by a 3-acre corn maze with a smaller kiddie version for younger kids. Weekend hours run 10 to 6 through late October, with the 2026 season opening September 19. After dark, the farm runs a Pumpkin Glow Trail, and the whole operation converts to Christmas Tyme Lights once the pumpkins are gone. It's under an hour from Chicago.

Lowell

Norm's has been a family-run pumpkin patch in Lowell for generations, the kind of place locals return to every fall out of habit more than novelty.

Call for current hours.

Lowell

Since 1999 they've rescued and rehabilitated around 350 domestic, wild, and exotic animals, funded entirely by donations. Visitors can tour an indoor petting zoo and small museum, then work through corn and straw mazes, mini-golf, and wagon or barrel train rides.

Austin Avenue - Redar Park Schererville

Crown Point

Hidden Creek is a small, kid-scaled pumpkin farm near Crown Point with hayrides, a corn maze sized for little legs, and its own honeybee apiary supplying farm-fresh honey. Birthday parties and school tours round out the fall season alongside the pumpkin patch itself, and pumpkins sell both at the on-site shop and a roadside farmstand. Facebook reviewers rate it a full 5 out of 5.

Set up on South Park Avenue in Schererville, a separate listing from the town's Redar Park market with produce, baked goods, and craft vendors from the region. Directory information on hours and season is thin, so treat this as a smaller or newer market worth a phone call before visiting.

Demotte

Four generations of the Eenigburg family have grown blueberries on this DeMotte farm since 1948, working 13 varieties in ground that's never seen GMO seed.

Chicago Heights

Smits Farms runs a Food Alliance-certified greenhouse and produce operation in Chicago Heights, selling at six farmers markets across the Chicago area each week rather than just from the farm.

Griffith

Nicky and Jessica Jones started Earthling Bee Co. in 2018 as a full-service Northern Indiana bee operation — honey, nucs, hives, and pollination services, not just jars on a shelf. Their raw and wildflower honey, beeswax goods, and bee-themed gifts sell online and for local pickup, and they'll set up hives or provide pollination for other growers in the region.

Griffith

C & L Lawncare is a family-owned lawn and landscaping company at 6086 N Forest Ave in Griffith, founded in 2005 — not a farm attraction, despite the agritourism listing.

Merrillville

Merrillville

De Jong Farm is a working family farm in Merrillville where the kids handle real chores — animal care, planting, weeding, harvesting, irrigation, egg washing and candling — and sell what comes off the ground at an on-farm stand. It's produce and eggs first, agritourism second, with pick-your-own available depending on the season.

Demotte

Now in its third and fourth generation, Fritts has grown blueberries in DeMotte since 1949 — over 60 years under the same family.

Hobart

About Us 1932: Remus Farms was founded by William F. Remus, his wife Orla, and their three children: William H., Wilma, and Verna. The original 40 acres was farmed by horses and good ol' fashioned manpower. In addition to the usual farm crops of corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay, the Remus family raised several acres of fruits and vegetables. Additionally, they raised cows, chickens, ducks, geese, hogs, and rabbits. Being the Depression Era, fresh farm commodities were much sought after. The

Fair Oaks

Fair Oaks Farms runs an actual working dairy alongside a set of paid "Adventures," including the Dairy Adventure, the Pig Adventure with its breed-to-wean barns, and a crop tour built around commercial agriculture rather than petting-zoo cuteness. Adventures and tours run Monday through Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 5, Central time. There's also a hotel with a pool, a U-pick orchard, and four dining spots on-site, from a sit-down restaurant to an all-day deli counter.

W Margaret St & Hubbard St Thornton

The Village of Thornton runs this market — officially 'Market in the Park' — at 102 Hubbard Street, spring through fall. It connects local growers directly with residents in this small south-suburban village rather than routing through a chamber of commerce, and it's small enough that most of the vendors are known by name rather than by booth number.

Thornton

Thornton's Market in the Park sets up on Saturday mornings at Hubbard Street, a small outdoor market built around local farmers and artisans rather than big produce distributors. The Village of Thornton runs it as a community gathering, with a vendor lineup that shifts through the season.

The Morocco Farmers Market sets up on East State Street in this small Newton County town near the Illinois border. No current hours, vendor list, or contact details could be verified online.
