The farm's domain name is currently parked for sale, and no working website or contact information could be found.

Orland Park

McCarthy Farmstands runs a seasonal rotation on 167th Street — summer produce, pumpkins each fall, and Christmas trees with decorated wreaths through the holidays. The stand is open Monday through Saturday 10 to 6 and Sunday 10 to 4. It's a straightforward farm stand geared toward stocking the fridge, not a destination attraction.

Orland Park

DeLair's Cornstalk Farm has sold cornstalks and pumpkins on Wolf Road since 1987, growing from a roadside stand into one of the few farms in the area offering custom-carved and custom-painted pumpkins to order. A craft barn built in 1940 sits on the property, stocked with handmade goods and jars of homemade jelly. The farm runs Friday through Monday, 10am to 6pm, from late September through October.

Monee

Butterprint Farm traces back to 1857 and opens its gates each October for a month of hayrides, pumpkin picking, rope-making demonstrations, and puppet shows. Pie pumpkins sell in bulk — 25, 50, or 100 at a time — for anyone stocking up to bake rather than carve. It runs as a single fall-festival season, not a year-round market.

Homer Glen

Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm has run its Fall Fest in Homer Glen since 1981, now spanning more than 25 attractions including 14 rides, a petting zoo, pig races, and a corn box. The 2026 season runs September 4 through November 8. Beyond pumpkins, the farm books school field trips, birthday parties, and corporate groups, and sells food from local vendors on site.

Homer Glen

Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm has run as a family-owned fall attraction in Homer Glen since 1980, built around a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and the Tractor Town Adventure Ride. It's one of the most-reviewed farms of its kind in the country, drawing Chicago-area families from September through early November for rides, food, and pumpkin picking on the same 151st Street property for over four decades.

Weekday admission runs $15; weekends and special events are $20.

Lockport

Tom's and Zach's Pumpkin Patch runs seasonally in Lockport, part of Will County's fall pumpkin-patch circuit. No current web listing was found describing specific hours or activities. Call ahead before visiting, since small seasonal patches like this often shift year to year.

Lockport

Tom and Zach's Pumpkin Patch works about an acre and a half of Bruce Road in Lockport, small enough that picking still means walking the field with your kids rather than riding out to it. The farm provides wagons and cutting tools, sells pie pumpkins, corn stalks, and straw, and sets up photo props around the grounds. The listing showed the patch closed for last season, so it's worth confirming current status before visiting.

Manhattan

A family-owned u-pick farm on Manhattan-Monee Road offering strawberries, blackberries, and red raspberries in summer, pumpkins in October, and fresh-cut Christmas trees in November and December. A small petting zoo runs alongside the produce operation.

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. The greenhouse itself opens seasonally for direct sales. It's a market-focused operation more than a destination farm, built around wholesale and farmers-market volume.

Beecher

Settlers Pond isn't a produce farm, it's a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter that also operates as an agritourism stop. 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.

Beecher

Settler's Pond Pumpkin Patch runs seasonally in Beecher, part of Will County's fall pumpkin-patch trail. No current web listing was found describing hours or activities. Confirm open dates directly before visiting, since small seasonal patches like this shift year to year.

Lockport

Apples On Oak is a family-owned Lockport orchard growing apples, Asian pears, and garden produce with no herbicides and only organically approved fungicides and pesticides. The farm has shifted from u-pick to a Barn2Door online store for pre-picked apples and produce.

Manteno

A small pumpkin grower in Manteno that fills orders of any size, from a single porch pumpkin to a bulk order for a school event. It's a modest, family-run operation rather than an attraction park.

Chicago

Sloanstead keeps beehives in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood and sells honey drawn entirely from those local hives, plus a soap line made with the honey and beeswax through a partner maker. Two additional hives are hosted at Keeler Gardens nearby. Sales run through an online Square store with contactless pickup in Irving Park only — no shipping, and the honey regularly sells out before the season ends.

A one-day fall event at Humboldt Park run jointly by the Chicago Park District and the Humboldt Park Advisory Council, built around pumpkin painting and other kid-focused activities rather than a full patch to walk through.

Highland

Scheeringa Farms has run its Highland farm stand for three generations and more than 50 years, selling homegrown tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, and cantaloupe alongside greenhouse annuals and vegetable starts each spring. The stand opens Father's Day weekend and stays open through Halloween, when the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and petting zoo take over. It's rated the highest of any farm in Highland by area reviewers.

Downers Grove

Lyman Woods Center in Downers Grove is a nature preserve and interpretive center, not a working farm — worth flagging for anyone browsing this list for u-pick crops or a farm stand. It sits within DuPage County's forest and prairie network. Check with the Downers Grove Park District directly for current trail and program hours.

Bolingbrook

Johansen Farms runs a seasonal pumpkin patch stocked with roughly 25,000 pumpkins each fall, plus a pie house serving fresh apple cider donuts. Next door, the 7-acre Children's Zoo houses more than 500 animals, with baby chicks to hold, pony and train rides, hayrides, and petting areas. The zoo and patch open for the fall season only; the attached nursery and garden center run daily year-round.

Chicago

A seasonal pumpkin lot in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood on North Clark Street, selling pie pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, and hay bales through fall. It also runs $20 pumpkin-carving parties that include a medium pumpkin, carving kit, table space, and decor.

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. The crew handles mowing, aeration, fertilization, seeding, and landscaping for area homes and businesses, plus leaf removal each fall and snow removal each winter.

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.

Elmhurst

Sunny Day's Honey is a small beekeeping operation working hives around Elmhurst. The farm sells comb honey directly and posts updates on the bees through the seasons — swarms, splits, and whatever the hive is doing that week. There's no storefront; check their Facebook page for what's currently available.

West Chicago

Sonny Acres Farm has operated in West Chicago since 1883, when German immigrants Ferdinand and Anna Nagel founded it as Oakwood Farm. Generations later it runs as a year-round destination — pumpkin patch and fresh produce in fall, pony rides, train rides, and animal feeding on a rotating schedule through the rest of the year.

Chicago

A free autumn festival at Lincoln Park Zoo running Friday through Sunday, September 26 through October 26, 10am to 5pm. Activities rotate weekend to weekend but typically include pumpkin picking, s'mores over a fire pit, pumpkin-carving demos, and fall-themed animal enrichment throughout the zoo.

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. Alongside pumpkin picking — including pie pumpkins and ones good for saving seed — the farm runs a corn maze and haunted hayrides, with firepits and wood included in hayride packages. Call for current hours.

Plainfield

Bronkberry Farms runs April 22 through Halloween, Tuesday through Sunday, shifting inventory with the calendar — spring annuals and vegetable starts, summer sweet corn and vine-ripened tomatoes, fall hayrides and a harvest festival. The general store stocks homemade pies, local honey, and jams year-round, and goats, chickens, and bees live on the property for visitors to see. The farm has picked up multiple Best Retail Business awards from the Plainfield and Joliet Chambers of Commerce.

Plainfield

Anderson Tree Farm is a choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm off Route 126 in Plainfield. It keeps a low web profile, so specific tree varieties, cutting policies, and season hours aren't published online. Call ahead before driving out during tree season.

Wheaton

Wheaton Landscape and Garden Center — now operating as Wheaton Nurseries — sells trees, shrubs, annuals, mulch, and garden statuary out of its Roosevelt Road location, along with full landscape design and installation services. Staff work with customers directly on planning outdoor spaces, from picking plants to sketching the layout. It's a garden center built for people doing the work themselves as much as those hiring it out.

Momence

Marys Berries grows berries on a small farm outside Momence, in the flat river-bottom farmland along the Kankakee River in eastern Illinois near the Indiana state line. Hours, varieties, and picking-season details aren't published online — call ahead before making the drive.

Lowell

Five Hands Farm gets its name from the Bruce family members who work it — Tom, Rhonda, and their three sons, Nash, Luke, and Will — on land the family has farmed since the late 1800s. The CSA market farm in Lowell grows produce for Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, selling direct to neighbors who sign up for a share of the harvest.

Wilmington

Jim Gorman's Vegetables is a produce farm on South Route 53 outside Wilmington, in Will County's stretch of farmland along the Kankakee River. It has no independent web listing, so what's sold and when is best confirmed directly with the farm.

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.

Lowell

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.

Crown Point

Mowry's Fruit Farm is listed as an agritourism stop in Crown Point, in Lake County. No verified details on crops, hours, or contact information surfaced online beyond the town and zip code.

Dunn's Farmstand sells produce on West Angle Road near Wilmington, in Will County's Kankakee River farmland. No independent website turned up online, so current hours and offerings are best confirmed directly with the stand.

Merrillville

DeJong Farm is a family farm stand in Merrillville where the kids handle real work — animal care, planting, weeding, harvesting, irrigation, egg washing and candling, alongside running the stand itself. The farm sells produce, eggs, and other farm goods directly, with updates posted regularly on Facebook.

Newark

Zuidema Farms runs a working farm and on-farm market on US Highway 52 outside Newark, confirmed across several regional agritourism directories. Specific crops and hours aren't listed anywhere online, so a phone call is the best way to find out what's currently for sale.

Plainfield

Operating from the same Route 126 property as Anderson Tree Farm, this Plainfield stop pairs a working tree and produce farm with fall attractions including a mile-long haunted hayride. Expect evergreens for cutting, landscape trees, spring vegetable flats, summer produce, and fresh eggs year-round.

Hobart

Merrillville Farms has run a farm market out of Hobart since 1999, serving Lake and Porter counties with apples, blueberries, cabbage, eggplant, grapes, peaches, sweet corn, pumpkins, and raw honey depending on the season. Winter visitors can still get eggs, livestock grain, and straw bedding by appointment. Pick-your-own is available and there's no admission charge.

Minooka

Meyer Bees supplies working beekeepers out of Minooka — package bees, nucs, and locally mated queens in Italian, Carniolan, Russian, and Saskatraz lines, plus hives, frames, and extraction equipment. The shop also sells raw local honey and offers hive setup and monitoring services for beekeepers who'd rather not manage every step alone. Open Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, 10am to 4pm, closed through July before its August reopening.

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.

Oswego

Keller's Farmstand has run in Oswego since 1991, now in its fifth generation of the same family. Spring brings hanging baskets and vegetable starts, summer brings sweet corn, and fall turns the property into a U-pick apple and pumpkin operation with a 10-acre corn maze, wagon rides, and cider doughnuts. Open seasonally — May, then mid-July through October 31.

Channahon

Dollinger's Pumpkin Farm is listed on East Hansel Road in Channahon, along the Des Plaines River in Will County. No verifiable website or business listing was found to confirm current season dates or pricing.

Hobart

Johnson's has grown fruits and vegetables in Northwest Indiana since the 1940s, with u-pick strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and vegetables running June through October. The adjoining Johnson's Fun Farm adds more than 30 family activities, and the calendar fills out with strawberry, blueberry, pumpkin, and sunflower festivals through the season.

Hobart

County Line Orchard grows Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Braeburn, EverCrisp, Melrose, Golden Delicious, and several other apple varieties on its Hobart property, with u-pick rows open through fall. Beyond picking, the farm runs barnyard activities, a full seasonal menu, and hosts more than 50,000 student visitors a year on school tours — a scale most u-pick operations in the region don't match.
