This page provides a detailed list of Nebraska's pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hay rides and other Halloween farm stuff!!   Click here to see the listings of pumpkin patches, corn mazes and farms in Nebraska or just scroll down the 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!

We have loads of related resources here, too.

On our Pick-your-own website, we also have pages with our own simple instructions on canning, freezing and drying  many other fruits and vegetables, such as  how to make jam, apple butter, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pickles, ketchup or freezing corn  (these links open new pages, just close them to return here).   Be sure to come back at Christmas if you are looking for a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm!   Look at the bottom of the page for links to resources on home canning, picking tips, recipes, etc..

I'm always looking for more to add and feedback about any patch, stand or farm you have visited, so write me using the Feedback form!  And if you have a farm and want to add it or correct the information, please click on Add My Farm!

    A visitor writes on October 2, 2007    : "They have Fall mums and Pumpkins. Some have already been cut and placed and some haven't. Which is great to let the kids go pick their own pumpkin Literally. It's great fun! The pony rides are not your typical pony ride. It's even better because you aren't hooked up to a metal bar and forced to go around in circles. Instead they have a staff member lead the pony for a pretty long ride down some grass and around some cornstalks then back. They take cash or check, and I do know admissions is $5.00 per person and 2 and under are free. They have corn and bale mazes and so much more. The new thing is this corn cannon that shoots an ear of corn about 300 yards.. "

    A visitor writes on August 12, 2011: "I have been a faithful patron of the Roca Berry Farm for over five years. While looking for patches in Western Nebraska I noticed the description for RBF didn\'t truly capture this amazing farm. So I decided I should write a little bio for them and send it on to you. I hope you'll find the information useful, and thanks for making this site! "Roca Berry Farm just south of Lincoln features the Harvest Barn where you can find pumpkins (pre-picked or from the field), gourds, squash, and Indian corn, as well as handmade crafts, jams, jellies, salsas, and honey. Inside the farm proper you can spend the day with your family enjoying a hay-rack ride out to the pumpkin patch, a life sized game of Candy Land, watching pig races, or taking a stroll in the corn maze. If all these activities rustle up your appetite grab a snack from one of the many delicious eateries, choose from The Pumpkin Cafe, The Roca Smoke House, Frankie\'s Funnel Cakes, or The Donut Hut. Whatever you do make sure you grab a bag of their wonderful kettle corn made fresh daily. At night the farm transforms into the Roca Scary Farm (recommended for teens and adults only) featuring a Haunted Hay-rack Ride, the Haunted Manor, and the Psych-O-Path, a terrifying 15 minute walk through haunted woods. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at the Harvest Barn, The Pumpkin Cafe, and The Donut Hut, no checks. Open daily from the last weekend of September until Halloween. "
