A fall visit to Piney Acres Farm in rural Hancock County is full of interactive hands-on fun for the entire family!

Our 73 acre farm is full of wide open space where families can connect and enjoy relaxed farm fun activities, both educational and entertaining. Fall activities include Hayrides, Corn Mazes, Gem Mining, TONS of Play n’ Explore areas, Barnyard Animal Visits and autumn treats in our farm store.

Pick-Your-Own Pumpkins

In order to grow the best quality produce, our pumpkin patch is off-site this season (fields must be rotated yearly to ensure a good crop).
We spend several hours harvesting a plentiful, colorful variety of all shapes & sizes of pumpkins for our guests.

You have officially found your fall decor headquarters!! Whether you’re on the hunt for a warty thing, Cinderella pumpkin, bat-winged gourd, Indian corn, blue pumpkin, squash, corn stalk bundles or straw bales-we have it all!! Come check out our HUGE variety of traditional and specialty pumpkins, gourds, squash and corn…you’ll be glad you did.
