Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Kokomo, IN

Kokomo

Temple Baptist Church runs a 10-acre corn maze every October at 1700 S. Goyer Rd., with riddles marking the turns through the corn. Beyond the maze: hayrides, a barrel train, mini golf, cornhole, and a straw pyramid, plus a petting zoo one weekend each fall. Open Friday and Saturday evenings throughout October, with extended hours on Halloween.

Kokomo

Guffey Acres in Kokomo opened its corn maze in 2009, cutting a trio of mazes across more than 7 acres that can take up to two hours to solve. Beyond the maze, the farm has u-pick produce, a giant corn popper, pumpkin tether ball, cornhole, and ponds for fishing, with a haunted version of the maze running some fall nights.

Kokomo

Price's Pumpkin Patch in Kokomo runs a pick-your-own pumpkin operation that's built a strong local following — GoFarmHop lists it as the highest-rated farm in the Kokomo area, with an average 4.8 stars across 86 reviews. Beyond the reviews, little is published about current hours or seasonal offerings, so check local listings before visiting.

Galveston

Roger Berry has run a small u-pick operation in Galveston since 1998, a one-person farm rather than a commercial orchard. Details on specific crops aren't published, but it's listed consistently across regional agritourism directories, so calling ahead is the way to check what's ready to pick.

Tipton

Nothing but Nature Farm runs a u-pick operation along US 31 in Tipton, with broccoli, cucumbers, eggplant, onions, peaches, peppers, pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes rotating through the season. It's a hands-in-the-dirt kind of stop — you pick what's ripe rather than grabbing a pre-filled basket. Call 765-963-4430 or email [email protected] to check what's ready.

Sharpsville

B & B Berries and More is a Sharpsville u-pick operation built around strawberries, with other locally grown berries added in through the season. It's a small, family-run stand off State Road 19 — call ahead to check what's ripe, since picking windows shift year to year with the weather.

Russiaville

Lazy AA runs a working bed-and-breakfast built around horses, about 10 miles west of Kokomo. Guests get trail rides, a stocked fishing pond, nature walks, and hands-on horse care lessons alongside programs on Howard County history. It's aimed at city dwellers who want a real ranch weekend rather than a theme-park version of one.

Converse

Kendall Family Farm Adventures runs a corn maze that takes about 45 minutes to walk, plus a pumpkin patch and hayrides on their farm outside Converse. Themes change every year — recent seasons have leaned Halloween-spooky rather than family-cute. Call 765-753-2676 or email [email protected] to confirm the maze is open before you drive out.

Peru

McClure's Orchard grows 150 apple varieties across 4,800 trees on 80 acres, and since 2009 has pressed a share of that harvest into what's billed as Indiana's only farm-to-bottle hard cider. The tasting room sits downtown at Market 159 in the old Granary building, open Tuesday through Saturday, while the orchard's own Apple Barn, cider house, and bake shop run Friday through Sunday. A petting zoo and pumpkin patch fill out the fall visit.

Atlanta

Mumbe's Orchard & Bee Farm is a family-owned honey operation on East 281st Street in Atlanta, in central Indiana, bottling raw, unfiltered honey on site. The farm also retails beekeeping equipment to other hobbyists and keepers, and adds pumpkins, gourds, and fall decor to its offerings once autumn arrives each year.

Atlanta

Carley Farms keeps elk, whitetail deer, painted desert sheep, chickens, ducks, and peacocks on a small family operation near Atlanta, with tours available by appointment rather than set hours. Clifford Carley runs the place, and it's built more around seeing unusual livestock up close than picking produce or riding a hayrack. Call ahead; there's no walk-up visiting here.

Frankfort

Smith Farms has offered free admission to its pick-your-own fields since 1988, no ticket booth, no gate fee. Strawberries come first in May and June, then asparagus, blackberries, and apples through summer, with pumpkins and cut-your-own sunflowers taking over in fall. It's a working farm the family opened up because they wanted their neighbors picking food, not just buying it.

Sheridan

Stuckey Farm has been growing apples in Sheridan for more than 50 years, with roughly 4,000 trees producing 37 varieties for u-pick season. The Country Market sells fresh-pressed cider and cider donuts, wagon rides run through the orchard, and a 60-foot slide anchors the kids' play area. It's a working cider mill, not just a pumpkin-patch photo-op — you can watch the pressing in action. Call 317-769-4172 or email [email protected].

Noblesville

Barn of Terror is a seasonal haunted attraction at 19807 Hague Rd in Noblesville, running weekend nights each October. Hauntworld has ranked it among Indiana's better haunts. Hours and ticket prices change year to year, so check their Facebook page before you go — and skip it if you're prone to motion sickness from fog machines and strobe lights.

Twelve Mile

Ada's Sweet Corn grows exactly what the name promises — sweet corn and green beans, available from late June through September at a small farm stand in Twelve Mile. There's no petting zoo or hayride here, just corn and beans picked close to when you buy them. Call ahead in peak season, since supply runs out fast on good corn days.

Denver

Doud Orchards has worked this ground north of Peru since 1894, growing more than 100 apple varieties alongside peaches, pears, cherries, and a full berry lineup of strawberries, blueberries, and both red and black raspberries. The farm stand stays open seven days a week for as long as something's in season. It's a straightforward produce stop rather than an event venue, built around whatever's actually ripe that week.

Noblesville

The Russell family has farmed this ground for more than 50 years, and each fall they turn part of it into Central Indiana's biggest pumpkin-patch playground. Beyond picking your own pumpkin, visitors work through two corn mazes, ride a hay wagon, climb Mount Russell's slide, and spin through a human hamster wheel. An 18-hole mini golf course and a petting zoo stocked with pigs, goats, peacocks, and miniature ponies round out the property. Admission runs $7; kids two and under get in free.

Frankfort

Anderson Flower Farm in Frankfort is a pick-your-own flower operation in Clinton County, about 45 minutes from downtown Indianapolis — walk the rows, cut your own stems, and build a bouquet on the spot. It also runs as a small nursery on the side, growing seasonal blooms that change through spring and summer.

Thorntown

Dull's Tree Farm opened in 1985 on 40 acres and has since been named Indiana's best Christmas tree farm by the state's tourism office. Choose-and-cut Scotch pine, white pine, and Canaan fir cover the winter season, while fall brings a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and pumpkin cannon alongside more than 45 other activities. Fire pit rentals and photography sessions run outside both seasons for anyone who wants the property without the crowds.
