This page provides a
detailed list of Upstate New York'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!
For other areas of NY State, see the
map!
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!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!

directions. Open: Every Thursday through Sunday in October.
Click here for a
coupon. Featuring the NEW VORTEX TUNNEL! and TERROR MAZE (both
included in your admission). The Hayrides weave through our haunted
forest on a tractor drawn wagon. Each wagon has a narrator on board to
guide the way through the cold darkness. Around each and every corner
there's a frightful scene and behind each and every tree lurks an
unexpecting guest waiting to greet you. Our woods are filled with terror
and surprise, an atmosphere sure to make you scream! Three quarter's of
the way through the ride, the wagon comes upon a coven of witches
dancing around a cauldron and shrieking into the night. The wagon stops
and the witches serve up some complimentary "Spider Cider" and "Deadly
Donuts". After everyone has been served their ghostly treat, the wagon
continues on for the remainder of the frightfully fun ride! Upon being
unloaded the wagon you will be guided into the Terror Maze and then
directly into the BRAND NEW Vortex Tunnel! A truly terrorizing
experience! The entire ride lasts approximately 35 to 45 minutes.
