This page provides a detailed list of Mississippi's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!!   Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands.  All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from.  To really make it fun for  your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride.  There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the  more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

NOTE: Obviously, with hurricane Katrina's damage, many farms may be out of operation, but those who are still operating need your business.  Please call before you go, and if they're open, give them your business. And if you live near a farm listed here and can provide a update, I will be sure to include the information here! Blake  Feedback
