Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Plymouth, IN

Plymouth

Childs' Farm is USDA Certified Organic, meaning their u-pick fields and on-farm market skip synthetic pesticides and fertilizers entirely. The farm sits just south of the Yellow River outside Plymouth, at 14118 Peach Road. They take cash and personal checks only — call 574-936-9262 ahead of a picking trip to check what's ready.

LaPaz

Tillman Farms has picked blueberries in LaPaz since 1935, back when it operated as Pertics Blueberry Plantation. The 65-acre operation still runs u-pick fields each summer, plus a stand selling pre-picked and frozen berries by the pound or in 10-pound boxes. About ten people keep it running during peak season, and they'll do takeout or delivery if you'd rather not drive out.

Plymouth

Pickin' Patch is a pick-your-own farm on US Highway 31 in Plymouth. Beyond the name and location, little is published about current crops or hours — call ahead or check local listings before visiting.

Walkerton

Andrew and Nathan Matanic started this Walkerton patch in 2011 after getting tired of scrawny grocery-store pumpkins. It's grown to a 7-acre corn maze plus 4 acres of u-pick. Beyond traditional jack-o-lanterns, the patch grows heirloom Cinderella pumpkins and the pale Blue Moon and Casper varieties. There's no general admission charge, and popcorn and coffee are free.

Walkerton

End of the Trail Riding Stable, near Koontz Lake in Walkerton, is a family-owned outfit offering hourly horseback rides across open fields and wooded trails. Beyond trail rides, the stable books pony parties, group camping trips with campfire cookouts, hayrides, sleigh rides in winter, and horse-drawn carriages for weddings and proms.

North Liberty

The Apple Patch is a u-pick orchard on Sycamore Road in North Liberty, growing a wide variety of apples alongside pumpkins for the fall pick season. The farm also presses cider and sells honey, running seasonally before closing up each year once the crop is picked through.

Yellow River Farms has run along its namesake river outside Knox since 1990, when the Eichelberg family opened the place up for fall visits. The farm now draws crowds for a straw maze, tube slide, pumpkin picking, animal barns, and fresh cider pressed on site. It sits a few miles east of town on State Road 8 — call ahead in the fall, since hours shift with the season.

South Bend

New Road Natural Farm in South Bend grows a wide pick-your-own vegetable lineup — beans, beets, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, onions, peppers, pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, and watermelon. It's a working produce farm rather than an event destination, so call first to check what's ready before making the trip.

Valhalla Farms marked 75 years in business in 2025, still growing 16 acres of blueberries across 16 varieties near Rochester. Pick your own from around July 1 through mid-August, or order sweet corn, freezer beef, and pantry goods — the farm also raises Hereford cattle and ships product nationwide for anyone outside driving distance.

Wakarusa

Beech Road Blueberry Farm has grown blueberries in Wakarusa since 1950, serving pickers from both St. Joseph and Elkhart counties. Both u-pick and pre-picked berries are available in season, though the farm's own website has gone stale — check directory listings or call before driving out.

Nappanee

What was long known as Amish Acres has changed hands and now operates as The Barns at Nappanee, though the 80-plus-acre property still trades on its history of introducing visitors to Amish farm life. The site includes lodging at the Inn, a restaurant serving Amish-style and American fare, and grounds that hosted theatrical productions for decades before the sale. New management is still working out what stays and what changes.

South Bend

Thistleberry Farm packs four separate corn mazes onto the property, along with a u-pick pumpkin patch, sunflower and lavender fields, and a corn cannon that's become the thing kids talk about on the ride home. Pony and cow rides run alongside hayrides most weekends in September, Saturdays 10 to 6 and Sundays 1 to 6. The farm has built a following in South Bend over its run; regulars treat the fall opening like a yearly tradition.

Winamac

No listings turned up for this Winamac pumpkin patch beyond its name and address, a small operation, by the look of it, in Pulaski County's flat farm country northeast of Logansport. Without a working website or social page to confirm current hours or offerings, anyone planning a visit should call ahead before making the drive.

South Bend

Just That Honey keeps hives around South Bend without chemical treatments, letting bees forage the local area for raw honey, blackberry honey, clover honey, and wildflower honey. The operation also sells pollen and comb honey, and offers swarm control and removal for anyone dealing with an unwanted hive. It's a small beekeeping business, listed mainly through regional honey directories rather than its own storefront.

Warsaw

The Berry Patch is a produce and agritourism listing along US 30 in Warsaw, in Kosciusko County lake country. No verified crop list, hours, or contact information surfaced online beyond the highway address.

Kingsbury

Blank's Nursery, Garden & Pet Center in Kingsbury covers two things most nurseries don't combine — plant starts, trees, and garden stock from local growers, plus a pet supply counter. It's a small local operation rather than a chain garden center, worth a call ahead for current stock.

New Carlisle

Todd's has run a two-acre pumpkin patch outside New Carlisle for more than 30 years, the kind of down-home operation where you walk the field and pick your own instead of choosing from a pre-sorted bin. Gourds and squash round out the selection alongside pumpkins in every carving size. The field opens 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. during pumpkin season, a few minutes from New Prairie High School.

Union Mills

This small, family-run u-pick farm on US Highway 6 grows red raspberries and blueberries, with raspberries typically ready by late June and blueberries following around July 1. It runs daily 8 to 6 through the June-to-September season and keeps a following for how clean and well-kept the rows stay all summer.

Mishawaka

Blueberry Ranch in Mishawaka grows nine organic blueberry varieties and calls itself the largest organic blueberry farm in the Midwest. U-pick runs July through mid-August, with frozen berries and pies sold year-round. After 50 years running the farm, the longtime owner has listed this as a final season and is seeking a buyer to take it on.

Merrie Acres sits on US 35 in La Porte, where a fall festival draws families for a tractor-pulled hayride and a pumpkin patch each October. The property once housed racing horses decades before it turned to seasonal farm activities. Some evening events call for bringing your own flashlight, so check current hours before visiting.

Elkhart

The Pumpkin Patch is a seasonal fall farm on County Road 105 outside Elkhart, part of a stretch of Elkhart County pumpkin patches that includes bigger neighbors like Kercher's and Knollbrook Farm. Specifics on this particular patch's offerings aren't published online, so a call ahead is the most reliable way to check what's growing.

Fischer Farm has grown sweet corn and pumpkins across three generations near La Porte, opening seasonally from August through October for hayrides, apple sales, and a corn maze. The rest of the year, the land grows field corn, wheat, and soybeans. Hours run 9 a.m. to dusk during the open season.

Leesburg

Neibert's Fresh Produce runs a u-pick patch on Armstrong Street in Leesburg, with strawberries starting around June 1st and blueberries and raspberries following through summer. It's a small, family-run operation — the kind of place where picking tips get passed along in person, like checking under the leaves for the berries hiding from the sun.

Wanatah

Guse Christmas Trees in Wanatah lets visitors choose and cut their own tree from the field, with staff on hand to shake, wrap, and load it into the car. The farm runs weekday afternoons and full weekend days starting the Friday after Thanksgiving, closing whenever the trees run out. Nearly 5,000 people follow the farm's Facebook page year to year.

North Judson

Parker's Place is listed as an agritourism stop at 865 S. 600 W. in North Judson, on the corner of Route 10E and County Road 600 West. Public details are limited online, and a call ahead is the surest way to confirm current hours and offerings.

North Judson

Bonnell's Blueberries in North Judson sells both u-pick and ready-picked berries, but ready-pick orders have to come in by phone — the farm doesn't take email orders. It's a straightforward, no-frills operation off S 750 W, worth a call before the drive to confirm what's ready.

North Judson

The Goin family has grown blueberries on this 80-acre North Judson property for more than 40 years, about an hour from Chicago. U-pick season runs mid-June through early August, with ready-picked berries available for anyone who'd rather skip the field; picnic tables and lawn games make it easy to turn the trip into an afternoon. Indiana's State Fair has named it a Featured Farm.

Goshen

Known locally as Kercher's, Sunrise Orchards has farmed 300 acres in Goshen for more than a century, growing sweet corn, pumpkins, 19 apple varieties, cabbage, squash, and peaches. The farm market also carries honey, maple syrup, noodles, cheese, meat, jam, cider, and apple butter, plus baked goods from the on-site kitchen. Fall brings u-pick apples and pumpkins, hayrides, and a corn maze.

Syracuse

Blue Barn Berry Farm in Syracuse combines u-pick blueberries with a country market selling honey, produce, and ice cream. The same property runs as a wedding and event venue, with a 4,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor pavilion that holds up to 220 guests — so the calendar mixes picking season with Saturday weddings.
