The Best Pumpkin Patches and Fall Farms in Southern Indiana

Explore the top pumpkin patches in Southern Indiana for 2025 — from hayrides in Starlight to live music in French Lick, here’s where to find your perfect fall day.

Southern Indiana’s Best Pumpkin Patches

When the air turns crisp and the leaves glow in shades of gold and red, southern Indiana transforms into the perfect autumn escape. With rolling hills, small-town charm, and farms that have been family traditions for generations, this part of the state is bursting with pumpkin-picking fun.

Cornucopia Farm — Scottsburg

Cornucopia Farm is southern Indiana’s fall playground. This family farm offers a sprawling pumpkin patch, corn and soybean mazes, a petting farm, and even a café for when you’ve worked up an appetite. Families love the tractor-pulled wagon rides out to the fields, and the laid-back farm atmosphere makes it easy to spend a full afternoon here.

Don’t Miss: A ride through the corn maze during a picture-perfect sunset.

Joe Huber’s Family Farm & Restaurant — Starlight

A household name in southern Indiana, Joe Huber's combines pumpkin-picking fun with comfort food that warms the soul. After a hayride to the pumpkin patch, wander into the farm market to stock up on pumpkin ice cream, fresh-baked muffins, pies, and other fall favorites.

Don’t Miss: A slice of pumpkin pie at the restaurant before heading home with a trunk full of pumpkins.

Lark Ranch — Lanesville, Loogootee & Greenfield 

With multiple locations, Lark Ranch makes it easy for Hoosiers across southern Indiana to enjoy fall traditions. Each site features a pumpkin patch, family rides, and sprawling corn mazes. Lark Ranch is known for adding festive extras like train rides and carnival-style activities, making it a favorite for families with kids of all ages.

Don’t Miss: The barrel train rides for little ones and the giant slide for big kids at heart.

Bonus: Lark Ranch did a really cool tribute in fall 2025 to late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Watch below to see how long it took to cut the Colts-themed corn maze!

Bledsoe Farms — French Lick

Blending rustic charm with festive fun, Bledsoe Farms feels like stepping into a harvest celebration. Beyond pumpkins, visitors will find hayrides, live music, craft vendors, and a warm sense of community. It’s the kind of place where you can sip cider, browse handmade crafts, and dance to bluegrass music all in one visit.

Don’t Miss: One of its fall festival weekends packed with local vendors and live entertainment.

Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Market & Local Patches — Orleans & Beyond
