Grab Muddy Shoes And Snacks For These 6 Mississippi Pumpkin Patches Still Open Into November
Fall in Mississippi sneaks up quietly, and then one weekend the fields are full of orange and the next they are picked clean. Families who wait too long often find only a few lumpy leftovers by the gate.
The six farms below give kids a real wagon ride, a field to roam, and the thrill of choosing a pumpkin straight off the vine. Pack snacks, wear shoes that can handle dirt, and go while the picking is still good.
1. Williams Family Farms, Wiggins, MS
Ten minutes on a tractor-pulled hayride separates the main farm from the pumpkin field here, and kids count every bump along the way. The patch sits apart from everything else, so the ride itself becomes part of the adventure.
By the time the wagon stops, little ones are already pointing at the biggest pumpkins in sight.
Williams Family Farms is family owned and sits on quiet country land in Stone County. The fall season brings a large u-pick pumpkin patch plus a maze for families who want more than a quick photo.
Picking your own pumpkin straight from the field is the main event, and the open rows give kids room to search without feeling rushed.
Plan ahead on one practical point. After the hayride drops you off, you carry your pumpkins to the exit to pay, so bring a small wagon or a strong helper if you plan to haul home a heavy one.
Lighter pumpkins are a smart pick for younger kids who insist on carrying their own.
The farm stays busy across the calendar too, with summer flower picking and u-pick Christmas trees starting in 2024. Check the website before driving out for current dates and fall hours.
2. Mitchell Farms Peanut Farm open Aug- Oct and Pumpkin Patch open Sept 27-Nov 2; Sat 9-6 and Sun 1-5, Collins, MS
Boiled peanuts and pumpkins share the spotlight at this Covington County farm, which has been building family traditions for more than 20 years. Few patches in the state pair a peanut harvest with a fall field, and that mix gives Mitchell Farms its own flavor.
Timing matters most here. The pumpkin patch runs from September 27 through November 2, open Saturdays 9 AM to 6 PM and Sundays 1 to 5 PM, with weekdays closed.
Free on-site parking makes arriving with strollers and car seats easy.
What do kids actually do all day? Plenty.
A corn maze, train rides, hayrides, farm animals, and giant slides keep energy levels high before the pumpkin hunt. Many families save the picking for the end, letting children play first and then choose their pumpkins as a final reward.
Staff often handle the heavy lifting, giving guests a ride out to the patch, waiting while everyone picks, and then driving families back toward their cars. Parents with toddlers will appreciate that help.
Snack breaks are memorable too. Kettle corn, caramel apples, blueberry lemonade, and those famous boiled peanuts round out an afternoon that feels very Mississippi.
3. Bull Bottom Farms, Duck Hill, MS
Corn cannons and a Wild West Tiny Town set this Montgomery County farm apart from the usual fall lineup. Kids who love pretend play can wander miniature storefronts, then race off to fire corn across a field.
Bull Bottom Farms is family owned and sits a short drive from Grenada and Winona, making it an easy day trip for north central Mississippi families. The 2026 fall season begins September 26.
Gates open Saturdays from 10 AM to 7 PM and Sundays from 1 to 5 PM, and parking is free on site.
Picture a full afternoon outdoors. Hayrides roll across the property, a corn maze tests older kids, and a jumping pillow and slides burn off extra energy.
Farm animals give younger visitors a calmer break between big activities.
The pumpkin patch anchors it all, and choosing one there makes a satisfying finish after hours of running around. Saturday evening hours stretch later than many farms, which helps families who need a slow morning or have weekend sports first.
Bring sunscreen, a water bottle for each child, and clothes that can get dusty. The open farm grounds reward families who come ready to stay a while.
4. Wise Family Farm, Pontotoc, MS
Dozens of photo spots greet families at this North Mississippi farm, so charge your phone before you pull in. Hay bales, pumpkins, and seasonal decor make it easy to grab a family picture without hunting for the right backdrop.
Wise Family Farm operates as an agritourism spot with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and wagon rides. The wagon carries guests out to the pumpkins, and kids get to feed animals, play several games, and pick a pumpkin of their own.
Hot food is cooked on site, which means lunch is handled without leaving the property.
Here is a budget detail worth knowing. Admission has been listed at 14.95 for all ages, and pumpkins from the patch have cost an additional 3.00 each, so set expectations with kids before the wagon rolls out.
Prices can change, so call or check the website first.
Hours are generous compared with weekend-only farms. The farm is open Wednesday and Thursday from 2 to 6 PM, Friday from 2 to 7 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and Sunday from 1 to 6 PM.
After-school visits on a quieter weekday can mean shorter lines and more elbow room in the patch.
5. Cedar Hill Farm, The Barn., Hernando, MS
Since 1996, this 120-acre family farm in DeSoto County has grown berries, pumpkins, and Christmas trees, and it adds a restaurant called The Barn to the mix. That combination means families can pick pumpkins and sit down for a real meal in one stop.
Fall brings the classic trio of a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and hayrides. On Friday and Saturday nights in October, the DeSoto County Ghostbusters often make appearances, which tends to thrill costume-loving kids.
Weekend hours run late, until 10 PM Friday through Sunday, so evening outings work well here.
Families with a dog in tow get a bonus. Dogs are allowed, and free parking is available both in the lot and along the street.
Many local families treat the farm as a year-round habit rather than a single fall trip. Easter egg hunts, Fourth of July fireworks, field trips, and Christmas tree cutting keep the calendar full, so a pumpkin visit can turn into a tradition that spans every season.
Close proximity to the Memphis area makes it a practical pick for travelers passing through northwest Mississippi. Arrive before sunset to see the fields, then stay for dinner in The Barn.
6. Southern Promiseland Farm, Kiln, MS
Smaller kids sometimes get overwhelmed at giant attractions, and this Hancock County farm solves that problem nicely. Southern Promiseland Farm offers a smaller corn maze sized for young explorers, along with a playground built for little ones.
Tucked into the rural community of Kiln, the farm feels relaxed and manageable for families with toddlers and preschoolers. Even so, older children are not left out, since the maze still delivers plenty of twists for kids of all ages.
Live farm animals are a highlight, and families can feed them during the visit. Hayrides carry guests around the property, giving tired legs a break between activities.
The pumpkin patch rounds out the day, letting kids choose a pumpkin after they have seen the animals and conquered the maze.
Families on the Mississippi Gulf Coast will find it a short drive from nearby towns, making it handy for an afternoon trip rather than a full-day commitment. Hours and fall dates can shift each year, so call ahead or check the website before heading out.
Bring hand wipes for after the animal feeding, plus a camera for the playground and hayride moments.
