Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Sheridan, IN

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.

Noblesville

Spencer Farm started with strawberries in 1982 and has since added blueberries, red raspberries, grapes, sunflowers, and pumpkins to its pick-your-own rotation. The farm market sells all-natural beef, pork, and chicken alongside Amish cheeses, cinnamon-roasted nuts, and hand-dipped ice cream. A sister winery operates down the road at 7015 E 161st Street for anyone who wants to turn the visit into an evening.

Indianapolis

Josh Welch turned a former horse pasture on Indianapolis's north side into a working berry farm in 2007, and it now runs u-pick blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries alongside a garden shop, fall mums, and local honey. A café on-site handles the in-between-picking hunger, and the venue doubles as event space for showers, corporate outings, and school field trips.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lebanon

Guernsey Farm runs a u-pick operation in Lebanon built around its Millennium Corn Maze as the main fall draw. Public details beyond the address are limited, so checking current hours and what's ready to pick before visiting is worth the extra step.

Noblesville

Marilyn's Crazy Corn Maze was a 10-acre maze at 14475 Marilyn Road in Noblesville, running Labor Day through early November in past seasons. Recent listings are thin and the official site turns up empty, so confirm it's still running for the current season before planning a trip.

Brownsburg

Montrose Farms sits on the oldest settled property in Brownsburg, land first worked in 1824, and now runs as a suri alpaca ranch. Guided tours, alpaca yoga, felting classes, and overnight stays are all on offer, along with fiber goods and fresh eggs sold from the farm. It's built around humane, sustainable animal care rather than a quick petting-zoo stop.

Danville

Brownsburg Haunts of Hidden River runs haunted hayrides through Arbuckle Acres Park each fall, with wagons rolling from 6 to 10 p.m. on operating nights. The ride winds through wooded trails set up with scares along the route — call ahead, since hours shift around specific dates during the season.

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.

Brownsburg

Natural Valley Ranch runs 30- and 60-minute horseback trail rides across 75 acres along White Lick Creek in Brownsburg, plus riding lessons, summer camps, hayrides, and a petting zoo. The property has a 170-by-50-foot barn with an indoor arena and boarding facilities, and a country cottage is available to rent on site. Trail rides are by reservation only and depend on weather and staffing.

Indianapolis

Easley Winery has poured wine in downtown Indianapolis since 1974, after the Easley family first planted 40 acres of vineyard in Crawford County in 1971. It's the only winery actually located within Indianapolis proper, six blocks from Monument Circle, pouring 20-plus wines and champagnes with an $8 tasting flight. Live music runs the patio May through September.

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.

Avon

Nehemiah Ranch runs on 34 acres of woods, farmland, and a barn under renovation, operated by a faith-based nonprofit built around "building lives, character and community through Christ." Beyond weddings, church retreats, and horseback riding, the ranch opens a pumpkin patch for u-pick visitors in the fall. It's open weekdays 9 to 6 and Saturdays 10 to 6, closed Sundays. The barn is currently getting new siding and foundation work, so some areas may be off-limits.

Jamestown

KD Stables brings animals to you: birthday parties and private events booked through their mobile entertainment service, built around horses and other farm animals kept on the Jamestown property. The business has been listed since 2006, and reviews point to well-cared-for animals and punctual service. It's less a drive-up farm stop than a bookable experience, so call ahead to arrange a visit or event.

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.

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.

Lapel

Big Red Bee Company keeps hives on-site in Lapel and sells the full range that comes off them: comb honey, raw and strained honey, beeswax candles, and pollen, retail and wholesale. It's appointment-only, so call or email ahead rather than dropping by.

Indianapolis

dfTOM Urban Farm operates on West Troy Avenue on Indianapolis's south side, offering seasonal farm activities and produce on a city lot rather than open country acreage. Urban farms like this one tend to run smaller and more informal than rural operations, so calling ahead before a visit is the safer bet.

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.

Danville

Beasley's Orchard has been in the same family since 1946, now in its third generation, and the market still runs out of a barn that dates to the Civil War era. Apples, strawberries, raspberries, sweet corn, and pumpkins come off the same ground, alongside jars of jelly and jugs of fresh cider pressed on site. Fall brings hayrides to the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, an apple cannon, and a u-pick section for anyone who wants to do the picking themselves.

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.

Danville

The Green Spree is a group tour the Hendricks County Convention & Visitors Bureau built for garden and nature lovers, stringing together stops like Beasley's Orchard, Frazee Gardens, Chateau Thomas Winery, and a beekeeper workshop into one custom day. Groups pick which stops fit their trip rather than following a fixed route. Book it through the CVB out of Danville.

Fortville

Piney Acres Farm spans 73 acres in Hancock County, with an 8-acre corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking, and gem mining running through fall. In December, the farm cuts its own Christmas trees and runs a train ride to the North Pole with hot cocoa and fresh-baked cookies. October also brings Piney Acres Scream Farm, a haunted hayride attraction.

Greenfield

The Family Pumpkin Patch sits off Mt. Comfort Road near I-70 in Greenfield, with hayrides, a corn box, and a pumpkin decorating station rounding out the pick-your-own patch. The Family Fun Center adds fall tattoos and decorating packages for kids' birthday parties and school groups during the fall season.

Fortville

Wild Blackberry Farms grows thornless, trellised blackberries across 40 wooded acres northeast of Fishers, open for u-pick each July and August. The rest of the year, the same rolling ground works as a wedding and event venue — the family built the business around both the fruit and the land it grows on. Self-pick and pre-picked options are both available during berry season.

Anderson

Wildflower Ridge Honey is a small beekeeping operation based north of Indianapolis in Anderson. The lineup runs past jarred raw honey to bee pollen, beeswax, comb honey, honey-sweetened apple butter, and honey peanut butter. It's a one-family operation, so stock shifts with whatever the hives produce that season.

Anderson

TLC Produce built its name on strawberries — pick your own for $20 a five-quart pail, or buy them already picked at $6 a quart. As the season turns, the farm adds tomatoes, sweet corn, and pumpkins, plus roses and daylily plants for the garden. It's a seasonal operation, so call ahead before making the drive to Anderson.
