Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Manhattan, KS

Manhattan

The Wilson family has run Lazy T Ranch in the Flint Hills outside Manhattan since 1968, on land first homesteaded in 1855. Beyond ranch suppers and cowboy-poetry nights, the property hosts pony rides, prairie tours, weddings in venues like the Bluestem Barn and Tallgrass Arena, and a fall festival built around a corn maze. Events run by appointment.

Manhattan

A&H Farm sits about five minutes south of Manhattan and runs as a working farm year-round, not just a fall pop-up. Fall brings a 60-foot slide, hayrack rides, a petting zoo, train rides, and corn mazes redesigned each year. Come spring and summer, the same fields open for U-pick strawberries.

Manhattan

Britt's Garden Acres has sold homegrown produce out of Manhattan for more than three generations, farming 250 acres pollinated by its own honeybees. Summer brings u-pick strawberries and blackberries and sunflower fields you can walk through; fall adds a pumpkin patch, corn maze and fun zone. The farm also bottles its own jams, salsas and milk, and books hayrack rides and field trips for school groups.

Manhattan

Feast of the Fields is a registered Kansas agritourism property on Zeandale Road in the Flint Hills outside Manhattan. Details on hours and offerings weren't verifiable online; contact directly before visiting.

Alma

Cori and Jarrod Meseke run Little Munchkins with their five kids just south of I-70 near Alma, and it shows in how kid-focused the patch is — train rides, a tube slide, a petting zoo, and a jumping pillow alongside the actual pumpkin picking. There's a corn maze and paintball range for older visitors too. Most activities are covered under general admission, with a few add-ons priced separately.

Olsburg

Nelson's Family Farm has stayed with the same family since Tom Nelson's great-grandfather bought the land in 1903, in the Flint Hills of Pottawatomie County. The corn maze and pumpkin patch started in 2007, after years of Tom talking his wife Donica into it. The barn also books as a wedding and event venue, working-farm scenery included.

Junction City

Munson Angus Farms has raised registered Angus cattle west of Junction City since 1924, with genetics on the place that trace back that far. Charles and David Munson run it now as both a working cattle operation and a butcher shop, selling beef raised on Flint Hills pasture rather than a feedlot. Beef is sold direct from the farm and traceable back to the herd it came from.

Onaga

Barr Bunch Family Farm sits in Onaga, in the Flint Hills of Pottawatomie County in northeast Kansas — rolling native-tallgrass cattle country. Little is published about this stop online beyond its location, so calling ahead is the surest way to confirm current hours and offerings.
