15 fall farms, pumpkin patches and corn mazes around Orlando for 2026, with hours and prices

Checked Sept. 30, 2026. Farms change hours with the weather and the crowds, so check each farm’s website the day you go.

Central Florida does not do autumn. The oaks stay green, the highs sit in the upper 80s, and the only leaves turning orange are the ones on a photo backdrop. None of that stops us. For about two months, the farms around Orlando put out the pumpkins, cut the corn mazes, hitch up the hay wagons and start frying apple cider donuts. You bring the sunscreen.

We found 15 of them in six counties around Orlando, with the dates, hours, prices and websites each farm had posted when we checked. Many sell tickets online, one sells them only online and a couple sell them only at the farm, so read the fine print before you load the car.

Before you go

• Buy ahead. Southern Hill Farms does not sell tickets at the gate at all, and several others charge a few dollars more for walk-up tickets.
• Go early, or go on a Friday if the farm is open that day. Saturday afternoons in October are usually the most crowded.
• Bring some cash. Pumpkins, food and some rides usually cost extra on top of admission, and Harvest Fields prefers cash at the gate.
• Pets: some farms welcome leashed dogs and some do not. We note the policy wherever a farm posts one.

Lake County

Lake County has the biggest cluster, and the hills around Clermont and Mount Dora make it the prettiest drive.

When the real crops come in

Pumpkins do not even appear on the Florida Department of Agriculture’s harvest chart. The fall festival is the farm dressing up for a season we do not really get. Florida’s own crops mostly come in later. On that chart, strawberries run from December to April, blueberries from March to May, peaches in April and May, and oranges from September into June. Some of these same farms open for picking then. Southern Hill Farms lists strawberries for this winter and blueberries and peaches for next spring.

Showcase of Citrus is sitting out picking season this year: it has closed its groves to u-pick citrus while its young trees grow in, the farm says. If you want to pick something next spring, blueberry season starts in March, and Southern Hill Farms plans to open for it.
