Thompson Farm runs U-pick fields at 144th Avenue in Bristol, starting with strawberries in June and moving through summer raspberries, an August-into-September sunflower bloom, and fall pumpkins. It also runs a family adventure farm with activities during pumpkin season. Picking conditions change daily, so the farm posts field updates on its social pages before each visit.

EnJOY the Buzz is a beekeeping operation on 203rd Avenue in Bristol, in Kenosha County near the Illinois line.

It's built around straightforward family fun rather than elaborate attractions.

Spring Grove

Richardson Adventure Farm is home to what it bills as the world's largest corn maze — 28 acres and 10.4 miles of trails cut into a cornfield outside Spring Grove. Beyond the maze, the farm runs a 50-foot tube slide, an observation tower, a train, a carousel, and a zip line, plus group picnic areas that hold up to 100 people. It's less a farm stand than a full day-trip destination.

A family-owned greenhouse in Volo that grows its own annuals on-site and sells them alongside general gardening supplies. It's a straightforward neighborhood plant shop, not an event destination.

A farm store stocks Wisconsin cheeses and gifts, and the site hosts weddings and school field trips.

The store keeps daily hours in season.

Wauconda

The Wauconda Area Chamber of Commerce represents more than 300 businesses across Wauconda, Island Lake, Lakemoor, and Volo, working on local economic development rather than farming itself.

Green Oaks

Heinz Orchard has run a no-frills, self-service apple picking operation in Green Oaks for more than 70 years — no hayrides, no petting zoo, no admission fee, just trees. A half-peck bag runs about $10, a full peck about $20, cash or card. The family calls it Chicagoland's closest orchard, and the crop-update line moves faster than email replies during picking season.

Roadside and farm-stand sales run through the growing season.

Show nights and hours change year to year, so confirm the schedule before heading over.

Zion

Dungeon of Doom is a seasonal haunted-house attraction in Zion, tagged here as agritourism though it runs on walk-through scares rather than crops or livestock.

Highland Park

Heller Nature Center is a 97-acre preserve run by the Highland Park Park District, not a working farm — expect oak-hickory forest, tallgrass prairie, and three miles of hiking trails rather than crops.
