Agritourism & Farm Experiences near St. Louis, MO

Saint Louis

The Villarreal Family Farm, also called Our City Farm, grows on Delmar Boulevard inside St. Louis, turning city ground into a working farm. Urban farms like this raise vegetables and sometimes animals on small lots, connecting residents to food grown in their own neighborhood. The Delmar address places it well within the city itself, not on the rural edge.

Saint Louis

Thies Farm & Greenhouses grows produce and plants in the St. Louis area, with pick-your-own peaches, blackberries, and cut flowers in season. Its greenhouses stock houseplants, herbs, vegetables, and nursery items, and fall brings apples and pumpkins. The farm runs two sites, on North Hanley Road in St. Louis and Greens Bottom Road in St. Charles.

Richmond Heights

McKnight Bee Products keeps chemical-free, antibiotic-free hives around the Ladue and Richmond Heights area of St. Louis and turns the harvest into raw and whipped honey, beeswax candles, and handmade lavender goods. It's a small urban-edge operation selling direct and online. The honey and candles come from the same hives the owners tend by hand.

Washington Park

Green Acres Farm sells produce on Rock Springs Road in Washington Park, a small St. Clair County community near East St. Louis. No independent website or listing turned up, so current offerings and stand hours are best confirmed directly.

Florissant

Sullivan Farms has run its October pumpkin patch on New Halls Ferry Road in Florissant since 1990, with free hayrides, a free straw maze, a jump house, slides, and a kids' train. There's no gate fee; a few activities cost a couple of dollars. Mid-November through December the farm sells Christmas trees. It sits in north St. Louis County.

Granite City

Relleke Farms has worked this ground since the late 1800s, though the pumpkin patch and fall festival is the newer part of the business, running weekends from late September through Halloween. Visitors pick their own pumpkins or buy ones already picked, then stick around for a petting zoo, animal rides, wagon rides, food trucks, and live music. The farm recently marked its 45th festival year.

Collinsville

W. J. Donahue is a small farm operation on Fairmont Road in Collinsville, listed on Illinois agritourism registries but without a public website or social page. No verified details on crops or visiting hours are available online, so this listing is bare-bones until confirmed directly with the farm.

Millstadt

Eckert's Belleville Farm is a flagship location of one of Illinois' oldest family-run orchard operations, with U-pick fields alongside a country restaurant, doughnut and custard shop, cider shed, bakery, deli, and garden center on one property. It's less a single stop than a full day out — pick in the field, then eat, shop, and browse the country store. Hours vary by department, so check ahead.

Millstadt

Eckert's Millstadt Farm packs in more rides than fruit come fall — a corn maze, pig races, pony and camel rides, an underground slide, and a pumpkin cannon alongside the usual u-pick apples and pumpkins. The farm also books private bonfires for up to 25 people and runs school field trips with custom packages. It closes for the off-season and typically reopens in early September.

Maryland Heights

Bunker Farms at Golfport runs a seasonal pick-your-own operation on Creve Coeur Mill Road in Maryland Heights, on the edge of St. Louis County's Creve Coeur Lake park. Directory listings mark it as a fall pumpkin patch with on-farm pickup, but the farm hasn't posted hours, pricing, or a full activity list. Check ahead before making the drive to confirm what's open.

Saint Charles

Herman's Farm Orchard is an orchard in St. Charles, on the Missouri River bottoms just west of St. Louis. Orchards in this area pick apples and pumpkins from late summer through fall. No working website turned up to confirm crops, hours or contact details.

Fenton

Stuckmeyer Farm is a fourth-generation vegetable farm and garden center near the Highway 141 and Highway 21 junction in Fenton, south of St. Louis. The on-site market sells produce the family grows plus greenhouse annuals, perennials, herbs, and vegetable starts in spring. Fall brings pumpkins and mums. The greenhouses supply bedding plants and hanging baskets through the season. Open daily, with shorter Sunday hours.

Arnold

A small honey operation in Arnold, in Jefferson County south of St. Louis. Beekeepers here work hives through the Missouri nectar flow, from spring clover and tree blossoms into fall wildflowers, and typically sell raw local honey by the jar. Backyard and small apiaries like Larry's usually sell direct, so call ahead or catch them at a nearby market rather than expecting posted hours.

Collinsville

Marc Mayhew runs this family apiary in southwest Illinois, selling raw clover and comb honey straight from his own hives along with beeswax candles. Beyond retail honey, Mayhew Honey sells nucs and queens to other beekeepers and offers tours of the operation, a rarer combination than most honey stands provide. Curbside pickup is available for Collinsville-area orders.

Valmeyer

Stuckmeyer's Plants & Produce sits on Bluff Road outside Valmeyer, in the bottomland below the Monroe County bluffs. The farm sells produce and bedding plants from a stand on the property. Beyond that, the operation keeps a low profile online — call or stop by to see what's ready.

Godfrey

The Great Godfrey Maze is a seasonal corn maze attraction on Godfrey Road in Godfrey, near Alton in the Riverbend region. No verifiable current website or listing was found to confirm this year's maze design, dates, or hours.

Saint Charles

Lakeview Farm is a pick-your-own operation on Towers Road in St. Charles County, near O'Fallon and St. Peters, growing strawberries, raspberries, and pumpkins across the season. Fall brings a hay maze and pony rides, and the farm books school and group tours by appointment. It sits within easy reach of the St. Louis suburbs, a short drive for families out for a pumpkin run.

Edwardsville

Bethel Refuge Apiary produces wildflower, comb, and raw honey out of Edwardsville, selling retail alongside beekeeping supplies and offering farm tours. Local restaurant Cleveland-Heath has used their honey in drinks and recipes. Some recent reports suggest the longtime beekeeper has been scaling back, so it's worth calling ahead to confirm current availability.

Jerseyville

Dennis Ringhausen and his father run this orchard out of two locations, with the Jerseyville shop on Route 67 serving as the main stop for shoppers. Beyond apples and peaches, they grow plums, cherries, nectarines, blackberries, watermelon, rhubarb, and tomatoes, plus pumpkins and gourds once fall arrives. Their apple cider has picked up awards over the years, which locals will mention before you even ask.

Belleville

Eckert's is an eight-generation family farm in Belleville offering pick-your-own strawberries, peaches, blackberries, apples, and pumpkins, plus hayrides, sunflower fields, and a farm-to-table restaurant. It's the only Eckert's location open year-round, with a bakery, deli, cider shed, and garden center on site.

Grafton

Eckert's Grafton Farm sits on the Mississippi River bluffs and runs u-pick peaches and blackberries in season, with apples reopening mid-August. The Grafton Country Store sells homemade pies, fruit jams, Amish salsa, and fresh-pressed cider, and the Kids' Corral lets younger visitors get close to farm animals. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 9am to 5pm, with field trips and private events booked through the farm's main office.

Grafton

Part of the Eckert's family orchard group, with pick-your-own strawberries, peaches, blackberries, apples, and pumpkins through the seasons.

House Springs

Adventure Valley is an outdoor adventure park on Highway MM in House Springs, about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis, built around ten ziplines and six paintball fields. The headline run is an 1,100-foot super-zip that reaches speeds near 50 mph. Despite the agritourism listing, this is a zipline-and-paintball operation, not a produce farm or pumpkin patch. Book tours and check seasonal hours on their website.

Edwardsville

Liberty Apple Orchard grows 21 apple varieties for picking from late August through November, two miles east of the Meyer YMCA off Goshen Road. Fresh peaches sourced from partner farms round out the summer before apple season starts. There's no admission fee, and the orchard draws families from Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, and Troy.

Eureka

Brookdale Farms spreads across nearly 300 acres on Twin Rivers Road in Eureka, southwest of St. Louis, and packs a full calendar onto it. Fall brings what it calls the largest corn maze in the St. Louis area, plus a sunflower maze, pumpkin patch, and hayrides. Summer means float trips on the river in tubes, rafts, and kayaks. The farm also hosts weddings, field trips, and events like goat yoga and its Balloon Glowdeo.

St. Jacob

Strackeljahn Farms works land along Highway 40 in St. Jacob, in the Metro East farm country of Madison County. No independent website or listing turned up in a search, so current offerings and visiting hours are best confirmed with the farm directly.

As a greenhouse and nursery operation, it supplies annuals, perennials, and seasonal bedding plants, with the heaviest activity in spring planting season. Call ahead to confirm hours and what's in stock before visiting.

O Fallon

Dickherber Farms has worked this ground near O'Fallon since 1890, and fall is when the public gets to see it. The main draw is the corn maze, with a smaller kiddie maze, a goat walk, and tractor-pulled hay rides for younger visitors. The rest of the year the family rents the farm for weddings and gatherings, farm animals included. It sits on Highway N in St. Charles County, west of St. Louis.
