Blooms & Berries Farm Market in Loveland is running Fall on the Farm daily through Nov. 1. The event at 9669 state Route 48 includes at least 15 attractions on one admission ticket.
A 5-acre corn maze, unlimited hayrides, a 40-animal petting farm, a pumpkin bounce pad, farm games, a play yard and photo spots are all included, according to the farm's official site. Gates open 9 a.m., and are open until 7:30 p.m. Oct. 9–10 and Oct. 16–17, 3 p.m. Oct. 31, and 5 p.m. Nov. 1.
Owner Jeff Probst said the farm's guiding philosophy is "putting more love into it than we take out of it." Probst credited customer and employee feedback with shaping changes over the event's 26-year history, as Loveland Daily News detailed.
Fall on the Farm launched in 2000 with pumpkins, a corn maze and hayrides. The Probst family has since added a train ride, a beer hall and a low ropes course, among other attractions. Cincinnati CityBeat readers have voted it Best Pumpkin Patch/Farm six years running.
New this year: pizza is served seven days a week, and burgers are available on weekends.
The farm grows its own pumpkins on-site. Pumpkins are sold by the pound, and ticketholders get 10% off carving pumpkins by showing their wristband at checkout. All food served at the event is made or prepared locally, according to the farm.
Families with young children will find a dedicated pumpkin patch and a smaller corn maze sized for toddlers. Wheelchair-accessible hay wagons and a wheelchair-friendly train are also available.
The event is cashless. The farm accepts debit, credit and gift cards. Gift cards can be loaded with cash at admissions and cashed out at the Garden Center or Market Barn.
A UC fall guide lists tickets at $12 to $22. The farm recommends buying online in advance. Weekend gate purchases carry an extra $5 charge and are not guaranteed.
