The Best Pumpkin Patches & Fall Farms Around University Valley

There’s something about fall in University Valley that just works. The temperatures drop, the hills start changing color, and farms from Berks County through the Lehigh Valley roll out pumpkins, corn mazes, hayrides, cider and apple picking.

Whether you’re looking for an all-day family outing or simply want to grab a pumpkin and some cider donuts, here are some of the best places to celebrate fall around University Valley.

Grim's Orchard & Family Farms — Breinigsville

Orchard

Website | (610) 395-5655

If you want the full fall-festival experience, Grim’s is one of the biggest options in the area. Its 2026 fall season runs September 5 through November 1, with weekend festivities featuring an eight-acre corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin picking and plenty of family activities. During the week, visitors can still pick apples, vegetables, pumpkins and flowers.

And come hungry: apple cider donuts, caramel apples, kettle corn, cider slushies and apple dumplings are all part of the experience.

Good for: Making an entire afternoon of it.

Seiple Farms — Bath

Farm

Website | (610) 837-0847

This is classic fall in Northampton County. Seiple Farms opens its fall festivities September 26, with hayrides out to a massive pumpkin patch, farm animals, pony rides, a straw maze and a 20-acre corn maze with roughly three miles of paths. The 2026 weekend season is scheduled through November 1.

Good for: Pumpkin picking and serious corn-maze fans.

Raub’s Farm Market — Easton

Farmers' market

Website | (610) 253-1419

Raub’s offers a somewhat more traditional farm-market experience, with pumpkins, gourds, mums, corn stalks and other fall staples alongside its corn maze and hayrides. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the maze becomes a flashlight experience.

Good for: A lower-key fall outing with plenty to take home.

Juniperdale Farms — Nazareth

Farm

Website| (610) 217-7203

For families who want something a little less elaborate, Juniperdale Farms & The Produce Crib is worth knowing. October weekends bring hayrides to the pumpkin patch, with pumpkins and squash available for purchase and apple picking offered on select weekends.

Good for: A traditional pumpkin-patch experience.

Valley Fruits & Veggies — Bath

Farm

Website | (484) 212-1417

Pumpkins are only the beginning here. Valley Fruits & Veggies combines its pumpkin patch and hayrides with a corn maze and plenty of kid-oriented activities. And this is another place where the food is part of the attraction: cider donuts, cider slushies, pumpkin bread, caramel milkshakes and other fall treats.

Good for: Families with younger kids who want activities beyond pumpkin picking.

Hausman Fruit Farm — Coopersburg

Farm

Website | (267) 980-3409

Hausman Fruit Farm combines apple and pumpkin picking with the type of activities that make a fall farm visit an event: hayrides, corn maze, kids' activities and a farm market/bakery.

Good for: Combining apple picking and pumpkins in one trip.

Bobwhite Acres — Coopersburg

Produce market

Website | (215) 679-7756

Bobwhite Acres is a nice alternative if you're more interested in the farm than the festival. You'll find apples, pumpkins, cider and seasonal produce, with pumpkin-patch wagon rides typically offered on October weekends.

Good for: A simpler, old-school fall farm stop.

Wilcox Farms — Boyertown

Farm

Website | (610) 367-2387

Heading west into Berks County, Wilcox Farms brings together a corn maze, hayrides, pumpkins, games and its farm market. It's less polished-theme-park and more traditional fall-on-the-farm.

Good for: Families coming from the western side of University Valley.

Frecon Orchard — Boyertown

Orchard

Website | (610) 367-6200

I visited here as a kid and went to school at Boyertown with a few of the family members - so cool. Frecon is particularly appealing if apples are as important to you as pumpkins. The orchard offers fall picking, seasonal hayrides, baked goods and cider, making this a great place for an orchard-focused fall afternoon.

Good for: Apple lovers, cider and a more orchard-centered experience.

Duncan's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch — Robesonia

Farm

Website | (610) 693-8056

Farther west in Berks County, Duncan's delivers exactly what its name promises: a big corn maze and pick-your-own pumpkin patch on a working farm. The atmosphere is casual and outdoorsy, with additional family activities and evening hours.

Good for: A true corn-maze adventure.

Make a Day of It

One of the best things about fall in University Valley is that you don't have to make the farm your only destination.

Start with coffee in Kutztown, spend the afternoon picking pumpkins near Breinigsville, head toward Hawk Mountain for a drive through the fall foliage, or pair a Northampton County farm with dinner in Bethlehem or Easton.

That's fall in University Valley: you don't have to travel far to make a day of it.

Farm schedules and activities can change because of weather and crop conditions, so check directly with the farm before heading out.
