Each fall, farms across Greater Phoenix extend a warm invitation for you to embrace the spirit of the season. They offer an array of festivities, spanning from corn mazes to picturesque pumpkin patches, ensuring delightful experiences for the entire family. Here are a few of the best local farms to choose a pumpkin, ride a hay bale, get lost in a corn maze, and pick up some seasonal treats!

  • Mother Nature’s Farm in Gilbert – A one-stop shop for all your seasonal needs. From pumpkins that proudly range from 1 ounce to 500 pounds to fall decorations for sale at Maneau’s Market. Admission includes a pumpkin, a hayride, access to Alexander’s Adventure Maze, the spider web crawl, and an opportunity to feed the petting zoo animals. www.mothernaturesfarm.com/pumpkinpatch
  • Vertuccio Farms, Mesa -Explore the 5-acre corn maze, hit the mini golf links, paint a pumpkin, check out the farm animals and visit the farmers market for seasonal produce and flowers (there are even corn stalks and hay bales for sale). Sound like fun? That’s just the beginning. There’s pumpkin bowling, a zip line, and a variety of farm-inspired obstacles to climb, slide, and bounce your way through. www.vertucciofarms.com/events/fall-festival/
  • MacDonald’s Ranch Annual Pumpkin Patch in Scottsdale – MacDonald’s Ranch first opened to the public in 1970 and, in the years since, has become a community staple, offering both a taste of the Wild, Wild West and interactive farm experiences.

  • Tolmachoff Farms in Glendale – This four-generation family farm in Glendale becomes a family-friendly playground each autumn.

Another must for the season is the 6-acre family corn maze that’s created around a new theme each year. There’s also a mini corn maze — perfect for the little ones — and a haunted corn maze for the thrill seekers. www.tolmachoff-farms.com/new/pumpkin-days/Rocker
