About Crawford Farms

A Family Farm, a Fall Tradition

For three generations and more than 80 years, the Crawford family has worked this Central Kentucky land — and every fall, they open it up to share it.

Our roots

Eighty Years in the Family

Crawford Farms has been family-owned for over 80 years and is one of the largest fall-attraction farms in Central Kentucky. The family turned to pumpkins in 1988, and Billy and Shirley Crawford — with their children, Teresa and Mason — were practicing agri-tourism before the word was in common use.

After Billy passed away in 2002, the family eventually stepped back from retail, then reopened in 2008. Today the farm grows more than 50 varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds, with hay sculptures, a rustic setting and a Barnyard Marketplace bigger than ever.

Our story

From a Working Farm to a Fall Tradition

Family-owned for over 80 years and three generations strong — here's how Crawford Farms became one of Central Kentucky's great fall traditions.

Family-owned for over 80 years, Crawford Farms is one of the largest fall-attraction farms in Central Kentucky. Whether your idea of a good day is petting gentle farm animals, strolling a scenic nature trail, climbing a colossal hay mound, finding your way through a corn maze, or simply picking the perfect pumpkin, there's something here for everyone.

The farm diversified into pumpkin production in 1988, and the scope and variety of pumpkins, squash and gourds has expanded year after year ever since. Billy and Shirley Crawford — along with their children, Teresa and Mason — embraced the idea of agri-tourism even before the term came into regular use.

A three-generation operation, Crawford Farms hosted field trips for students from school districts across the area and supplied pumpkins to wholesalers and retailers as well as directly to the public. In 2002, Billy Crawford passed away after a battle with cancer. The family pressed on through that season, and the following year made the difficult decision to close the retail side of the business.

In 2008, Mason, Teresa and her husband Marty Lee reopened Crawford Pumpkin Farm, and it has grown steadily ever since to once again offer the greatest diversity of produce and fall family attractions in Central Kentucky. With a wide variety of hay sculptures and a rustic atmosphere, the farm makes an ideal backdrop for photos that capture the season. The Barnyard Marketplace is larger than ever, with samplings from the more than 50 varieties of locally grown pumpkins, squash and gourds.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most, with quick answers.

What are your business hours and which days will you be open?
We’re open daily from September 26 through November 1, 2026. Hours are Monday – Saturday 10:00 am – 7:00 pm and Sunday noon – 7:00 pm, Eastern time. Festival weekends and any closure days are posted on Our Calendar.
What’s included with general admission?
Nearly everything on the farm — both corn mazes, the Minions rope maze, the Mousetrap Maze, both big slides, the petting zoo, play areas, Pedal Cars, the Cozy Coupe Club, the Corn Boxes, Pumpkin Palace, the Corn Wigwam, Spider’s Lair Haunted Silo, the Nature Trail & Pumpkin Patch Parable, yard games and all the photo ops. Pumpkins, hayrides, barrel train rides and animal feed are the main extras priced separately.
Do you offer field trips, and how do they work?
Yes. School groups get a customized schedule that keeps classes of twenty or more students together as a group. Up to nine groups (even more if requested) follow self-guided rotations that allow students to visit almost all attractions at the farm. Picnic areas are provided for lunch, and the all-inclusive rate includes a pumpkin, hayride, barrel train ride, animal feed for the petting zoo, corn maze and tons of other stops including a lesson delivered by one of our staff. Call (270) 505-5600 to schedule.
What should we wear and bring?
Closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, and layers for changing fall weather. The farm is mostly grass and dirt paths, so leave the nice shoes at home.
Are strollers and wheelchairs okay?
The main paths are stroller & wheelchair-friendly. Some attractions sit on uneven ground though. Reach out if you’d like to plan a route ahead of your visit.
What happens if it rains?
The farm is open, rain or shine for light weather. Closure will be noted on our website and social media sites for more severe weather.
Can we bring our own food?
Sack lunches are welcome for group field trips. General public guests and field trip chaperones are encouraged to support our on-site food vendors and the farm snack shack.
Do you allow pets?
Well-behaved pets on leashes are welcome.
How do we book a party or large group?
See packages on the Parties & Events page. Place a deposit to reserve the space, then send an inquiry with your group size and date and we’ll take it from there.
What forms of payment do you take?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, plus Apple Pay — as well as cash.
Is there an admission charge to the farm?
The Barnyard Marketplace is free to access and shop around for pumpkins, fall decor, and snacks. The rest of the farm requires additional payment. Check out our Admission Page to see what’s included.
When are hayrides given?
Hayrides are generally offered every 30 minutes on weekends, and at least every two hours beginning at 2:00 PM on weekdays, depending on demand. During Fall Break, hayrides begin at 11:00 AM and are offered at least hourly. See Our Calendar.
How does a Season Pass work?
For less than two daily admissions you can purchase an individual season pass. This pass allows for unlimited visits during regular business hours. Season passes do not include the barrel train, hayride or animal feed. The pass is non-transferable.
Is smoking allowed at Crawford Farms?
Due to safety concerns and for the comfort of all visitors, smoking is not allowed anywhere at Crawford Farms.
Can pumpkins be picked from the patch?
Yes, guests are permitted to pick their own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch adjacent to our Barnyard Marketplace. See a Crawford Farms attendant for more information.
How are pumpkins priced?
All produce and decoration items are priced by the piece. Prices are marked, so no surprises like at some other places where items are sold by the pound.
How much are pumpkins?
Pumpkins vary in size, shape, color and supply. All factors go into pricing. Minis start at $1, and most range from $4–$10, with good-sized jack-o-lanterns usually running $5–$10. Premium specialty pumpkins, extra-large jack-o-lanterns and giants warrant a premium.
Is there a charge to take pictures?
There is no charge to take pictures. Many of our photo ops are in our Barnyard Marketplace, which has no admission fee; however, some are in pay areas, so an admission fee for guests including photographers is required if wanting to take pictures in those areas.
Does Crawford Farms have restrooms?
Portable toilets, including one that is handicap accessible, are available for use by our guests. Multiple sinks and sanitizer stations are available as well.
Are food trucks available?
We try to have at least one food truck plus specialty beverage vendors every weekend and during Fall Break. Check our Facebook, or calendar, for constant updates.
