Keep in mind, many farms, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and Haunted Houses are trying to cope with rapidly changing state COVID requirements: ALWAYS see their own website, Facebook page or call them before you go.
NOTE: Many of the farms are dropping their websites and switching to Facebook pages - but they don't tell anyone, including search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo or us, or redirect their website, thus breaking all links to them. If a link is broken please click the "click here to report a broken link or blank page" so we can find the replacement link! Thanks!
After Halloween, find a Christmas tree at a local Christmas tree farm (and enjoy a bonfire, smore, hot chocolate and free hayrides, and often Santa visits!

A visitor writes on October 03, 2013: "My husband and I visited Yesterland Farm in Canton, TX for the first time last year with our 3 year old daughter. We loved the experience and our daughter still talks about her visit to the 'pumpkin patch'. The corn maze was so much fun and we had a blast picking out our pumpkins for the season. I would totally recommend this farm as a fun outing for families. We are definitely planning to visit Yesterland Farm again this year. We may have to visit during Christmas time too. I saw that they have special events planned for that time of year as well. We found out about Yesterland Farm on your website last year and really appreciate the information. Thank you. "
