What you can do

Fall farm activities near Cleveland

Almost every farm here runs more than a pumpkin field. Pick an activity to narrow the farms down to the ones that have it.

Pick-your-own pumpkinsCorn mazesFall farm visits

Pick-your-own pumpkins

A pick-your-own pumpkin patch near Cleveland means walking out to the field and cutting your own off the vine. Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland and Pickering Hill Farms in Avon are the closest big fields, and Ramseyer Farms in Wooster is worth the longer drive.

Corn mazes

Corn mazes near Cleveland run from a ten minute walk with toddlers to several acres that take an hour. Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Szalay’s Farm & Market in Peninsula and Pickering Hill Farms in Avon are the closest, and Derthick’s Farm & Corn Maze in Mantua opens its maze after dark.

Hayrides

Hayrides near Cleveland are usually the ride out to the pumpkin field and back, and a few farms run them into the evening. Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland and Heritage Farms in Peninsula all offer them on fall weekends. Rides stop when the ground gets too wet, so check before you drive out.

Apple picking

Apple picking near Cleveland starts before pumpkin season and thins out through October. Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Hillcrest Orchards in Amherst and Pick n’ Save Orchard in Medina open their rows, and Bauman Orchards in Rittman is the bigger operation out in Wayne County. Varieties change week to week, so call ahead for what is ripe.

Farm animals

Barns and animal pens give younger kids something to do while everyone else picks. Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland is built around its animals, and Ramseyer Farms in Wooster, Nickajack Farms in North Lawrence and Kuchta Farms in Newton Falls keep theirs open through fall.

Kids play areas

A play area is the difference between an hour at the farm and a whole afternoon. Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Red Wagon Farm in Columbia Station and Maize Valley in Hartville each put a real playground next to the pumpkin field.

Cider

Fresh cider is the easiest thing to take home, and the orchards mostly press their own. Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Szalay’s Farm & Market in Peninsula, Bauman Orchards in Rittman and White House Fruit Farm in Canfield all sell it by the jug.

Food and donuts

Cider donuts, kettle corn and a hot lunch turn a pumpkin run into a meal. Szalay’s Farm & Market in Peninsula is the roasted corn stop, and Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland and Maize Valley in Hartville all serve food on site.

Wagon and train rides

Wagon and barrel train rides are the shorter, slower version of a hayride and suit toddlers better. Red Wagon Farm in Columbia Station, Kingsway Pumpkin Farm in Hartville and Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland run them through the season.

Fall festivals

Festival weekends add music, contests and pumpkin launches to the usual visit. Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Maize Valley in Hartville and Szalay’s Farm & Market in Peninsula build whole weekends around them, so it is worth checking dates before you go.

Sunflowers and flowers

Sunflower fields open in late summer and are usually finished before the pumpkin rush, though a few farms hold cut-your-own rows into fall. Nickajack Farms in North Lawrence, Quarry Hill Orchards in Berlin Heights and Ransom Sage Farm in Chardon each grow them.

Haunted attractions

A few farms turn the maze into a haunted trail after dark, which is a different night out from an afternoon with the kids. Brasee’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch in Wellington, Rockin’ R Ranch in Columbia Station and Schuster’s Pumpkin Patch in Elyria all run haunted versions.

Wine and beer

Some of these farms are wineries or have a taproom, which makes the trip work for adults without kids along. Maize Valley in Hartville, Regal Vineyards in Madison and Quarry Hill Orchards in Berlin Heights all pour on site.

Farm markets

The market is where most people end up on the way out: squash, mums, straw bales, jams and whatever is being cut that week. Szalay’s Farm & Market in Peninsula and Sirna’s Farm & Market in Auburn Township draw plenty of people who never set foot in the field.

Pumpkins for sale

Not every farm opens the field. Plenty sell pumpkins off the wagon or the porch, which is quicker when you just need a few for the front step. Fitch’s Farm Market in Avon, Heritage Farms in Peninsula and Badger Pumpkin Patch in West Salem all sell pre-picked.
