Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Blackfoot, ID

Blackfoot

The Johnson family has farmed this 18-acre plot north of Blackfoot for five generations, growing a wide list that runs from beets and cauliflower to peaches, raspberries, and two kinds of potatoes. Their sweet corn has a following beyond the farm stand — it's the corn behind the Mexican Crazy Corn booth at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The on-site store and u-pick rows are open May through fall.

Blackfoot

Shoemakers grows more than 150 varieties of vegetables on their farm in Blackfoot, one of the larger crop lists of any u-pick operation in eastern Idaho. What's ready shifts fast through the growing season, and the farm asks that visitors call ahead to check availability before making the drive out.

Wild Adventure Corn Maze cuts a new design into its field each fall, a Pac-Man maze for the 2025 season, on a farm south of Idaho Falls. General admission covers all three mazes plus a barrel train, jump pads, a corn cannon, a tube slide, and a rock wall; hatchet throwing and concessions cost extra. Kids under three get in free.

Blackfoot

Isom's Apple Fruit Farm started in 1994 when Jeanne Isom planted 200 apple trees on the family's Blackfoot property. Three decades later the orchard sells Honeycrisp and other varieties out of a red barn farm store on site, with u-pick typically open Saturdays starting in late September once the crop is ready, usually by mid-September. The Isoms also bring apples to the Idaho Falls and Pocatello farmers markets. Call ahead before driving out, since picking days shift with the harvest.

Shelley

Adamson Farms has worked this ground north of Shelley since 1892 — seven generations deep — and switched from a roadside stand to full u-pick in 2019. Rows run potatoes, carrots, beets, sweet corn, zucchini, squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, and a full run of greens from July through November. The farm also sells seed, hay, and straw, and welcomes school groups for field trips during the season.

Shelley

Shelley's Fresh Produce & Cut Flowers is a two-acre family farm growing vegetables, strawberries, raspberries, and tree fruit with organic practices, drip irrigation, mulching, crop rotation, no synthetic sprays, though not certified organic. They press their own berries into jams and syrups and cut fresh flowers, including dahlias and peonies, through the growing season. Visits run by appointment.

Idaho Falls

John and Deby Infanger run New Sweden Farms with a wide circle of family in western Idaho Falls, a mile west of the Sunnyside exit. Two corn mazes, a cow train ride, a bounce pillow, and a corn kernel pit fill out the fall grounds alongside the pumpkin patch and sweet shop. The season runs mid-September through late October, open evenings Tuesday through Friday and midday through evening on Saturdays.

Idaho Falls

U-Pick Red Barn grows watermelon, cantaloupe, and vegetables on Rollandet Street in Idaho Falls, with train rides, a hay maze, and a 75-foot slide added on for kids. Pumpkins run $2 to $25 depending on size. Open Monday through Saturday, 10:30am to 8pm, closed Sundays.

This u-pick pumpkin patch sits on South Huff Road in the 83406 zip code, in the Idaho Falls area. Limited information is available online — check local fall festival listings or call ahead for hours and pricing before visiting.

Idaho Falls

Haroldsen Farm grows asparagus and autumn red raspberries in Idaho Falls, with picking open by appointment and on weekends from mid-August through October. It's a shorter, later window than most local berry farms, tied to when the fall-bearing canes come in.
