West Jordan

Gardner Village is built around the Gardner flour mill, raised on this site in 1877 and still the anchor of the property.

Draper

Rasmussen Farms has sold pumpkins from a roadside stand in Draper for more than 30 years. National Geographic once ran a piece on Jeff Rasmussen and his father growing the crop a few miles from where it's sold. There's no corn maze or zip line here — just pumpkins, gourds, and squash from a family operation that's become an October tradition for three generations of Draper neighbors.

South Jordan

The Ginormous Pumpkin Regatta is an annual fall event on Oquirrh Lake in Daybreak, South Jordan, not a working farm — competitors carve 500-pound-plus pumpkins into boats and paddle them across the lake.

Riverton

Pumpkin Point Farms is a family-run pumpkin patch at 11900 South 3600 West in Riverton, distinct from the nearby Kinlands. Pumpkins are priced by size and picked straight from the field, and kids can wander a free path-style corn maze, climb a lineup of antique tractors from the 1950s and '70s, and cart their pumpkins out in borrowed wheelbarrows. No event venue, no restaurant — just the patch.

Riverton

Petersen Family Farm's pumpkin patch runs from the last weekend of September through October, with gourds and pumpkins in every size and color the family grows on its Riverton fields. Free activities include a hay-bale and corn maze, a corn pit for digging, a hay pyramid to climb, and farm animals to meet. The year-round farm market also sells sweet corn, tomatoes, watermelon, and peas. Email [email protected] or find the farm at 11887 South 4000 West.

Riverton

Lehi

The MAiZE at Thanksgiving Point is the flagship maze of the company that started the whole idea in 1996; designer Brett Herbst and his team have since cut more than 5,500 corn mazes for family farms across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The Lehi maze can be walked correctly in about 15 minutes, though most visitors wander for closer to 45. It shares the grounds with Cornbelly's pumpkin patch, sunflower field, and Kidsville.

Lehi

Cornbelly's is the fall festival at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, built around a corn maze that anchors more than 60 seasonal attractions. Guests work through hayrides, pig races, pumpkin bowling, a Kidsville play area, and U-pick pumpkins, then move into after-dark haunted scenes at Insanity Point. Food stalls sell caramel apples, kettle corn, and fresh-pressed cider. The festival runs late September through early November, with a second Cornbelly's location in Spanish Fork.

Kaysville

Ward Family Farm is a working farm in Kaysville listed as a local recreation stop, though little about its current crops or seasonal offerings is published online. Visitors interested in what's growing should call ahead before making the trip.

Kaysville

Elden Foods packs and bottles raw, unfiltered honey from a family beekeeping operation based on a 100-acre farm and apple orchard in Kaysville. Every batch goes through third-party lab testing before it reaches the raw creamed honey and raw liquid honey lines sold to individual customers, restaurants, and wholesale accounts. Founded in 2017, the small operation runs Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Call (801) 668-9133 or visit eldenfoods.com.

Lehi

Knight Family Honey, run by Lee and April Knight, sells 100% raw honey along with package bees and queens each spring through a partnership with Olivarez Honey Bees. Their stock includes Saskatraz bees bred and DNA-tested to be free of the Africanized gene, a detail that matters to backyard beekeepers wary of aggressive hives. Package bees typically sell out well before pickup day.

Morgan

Spooky Patch is a seasonal pumpkin patch in Morgan Valley open daily throughout October. Beyond that, there's little verifiable public information on the operation — no farm history or crop details turn up in local directories, and reported contact numbers conflict across listings, so none are included here.

Morgan

Clark Family Dairy has milked cows in Morgan for more than two decades; the family traces its farming roots back to Ezra T. Clark, who split his land among his 17 children in 1901. In 2022 the family cut the Morgan Maze into a cornfield next to the dairy, an "Over the Moon" design open Wednesday through Saturday each fall, with barbecue and snacks sold at the gate.

Pleasant Grove

No independent listing, website, or news mention turned up for Pleasant Grove Guernseys. The name suggests a small Guernsey dairy operation in Pleasant Grove, but nothing beyond the directory entry could be confirmed.

Pleasant Grove

Hee Haw Farms operates Oliver's Place, a farm store in Pleasant Grove stocking raw milk from Springbrook Dairy, farm-fresh eggs, cheese curds, local honey, sourdough, bacon, and steaks — real groceries, not just gift-shop extras. The century-old farm runs a petting zoo, hayrides, a zipline, and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch each fall, plus a Spring Fling with baby animals and egg hunts. Oliver's Place is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; call (801) 368-0255.

Pleasant Grove

One Seed Gardens appears to be a small garden operation at a residential address in Pleasant Grove. No website, farm stand listing, or public record turned up anything further; it may operate quietly through a CSA or neighbor network rather than public sales.

Syracuse

Black Island Farms has worked this Syracuse ground for more than 50 years, growing carrots, onions, cabbage, corn, pumpkins, squash, and gourds sold fresh from the on-site market. Fall brings Utah's largest corn maze at 20 acres, plus hayrides, pig races, a cow train, and the Nightmare Acres haunted barn after dark. The harvest festival runs late September through Halloween. Reach the farm at [email protected] or (801) 825-6236.

Midway

A geothermal crater on this property has drawn visitors since 1866, when Simon Schneitter found warm mineral water pooling inside a limestone dome on his farm and opened it for bathing. That crater, now called Homestead Crater, still lets guests swim, paddleboard, or scuba dive indoors year-round. The property around it has grown into an 18-hole golf course and a 183-acre four-season retreat at 700 North Homestead Drive in Midway. Call (435) 654-1102 to book a soak.

Wild Oats Horsemanship Center teaches horsemanship and cowboy dressage out of a barn on Cottonwood Canyon Road near Morgan, with schooling shows held twice a month.

Text 801-829-8360 or call 801-821-7483.

Tooele

Pankratz runs a cut-your-own pumpkin patch on Coleman Street in Tooele. Walk the rows, snip your pumpkin from the vine with scissors, then catch the hayride back to the entrance to pay. The patch also sells Indian corn for fall decorating. It's open 1 to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays, small and no-frills compared to the big commercial mazes down the valley.

Benson Grist Mill, built in 1854 by LDS apostle Ezra Taft Benson to serve new Tooele Valley settlements, is one of the oldest standing structures in western Utah. Volunteers restored the mill starting in the 1980s and added a log cabin, blacksmith shop, and period farm equipment; it's been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972. Find it at 325 State Road 138, Stansbury Park — phone (435) 882-7678.
