Fall Fun

Piney Acres' Fall Fun Roundup!

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.  

2026 Corn Maze Update

A quick corn maze update for this fall! Due to the heavy rains and flooding we’ve had this year, our big corn maze won’t be open for the 2026 season. But there’s still plenty of fall fun to enjoy at the farm, including our Kids’ Corn Maze, which IS open for exploring! There won’t be a game in the maze this year, but the kiddos can still wind their way through and enjoy the adventure.

We can’t wait to see you at the farm and enjoy another great fall season together!

Fall on the Farm Hours:

September 19-October 25, 2026
Monday-Friday: 1pm-7pm  |  Saturday: 10am-7pm  |  Sunday : Noon-7pm

Pick-Your-Own Pumpkins
in Fortville, Indiana

Looking for the perfect pumpkin or a little fall décor? Piney Acres Farm in Fortville, Indiana, just northeast of Indianapolis, has you covered with traditional and specialty pumpkins, gourds, squash, corn stalks, straw bales, and more.

Our selection includes warty gourds, Cinderella pumpkins, bat-winged gourds, blue pumpkins, Indian corn, and plenty of other fall favorites.

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.

Tag a Christmas Tree
a Fall Tradition at Piney Acres Farm

While you’re visiting Piney Acres this fall, you can also tag your Christmas tree for Christmas! It’s an easy way to pick out the perfect tree early and get a head start on your Christmas traditions.

Tree tagging is available during regular fall business hours through Oct 24. From October 25 through November 21, please call ahead to schedule an appointment.
