Before you go
GroundAsk about the fieldChoose-and-cut fields are often uneven. A stroller that works on a sidewalk may not work in a tree row.
WarmDress for standing outsideCutting a tree takes longer than a walk through a lot. Bring a layer you can take off in the car.

None of the farm pages on this list states a price. Each card says “No pricing information.”
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Nov 9, 2026, and we recheck them every week through December. How we choose and check.
