Some other York Region communities run seasonal or pop-up markets that may extend into fall as well. If your town is not listed here, check with your local municipality or BIA for current market dates.

Pumpkin patches and corn mazes

Reesor's Farm Market publishes information for its pumpkin patch and corn maze at 10825 Ninth Line in Markham. Check the operator's current page for availability and admission before your visit.

Reesor's Farm Market

Reesor's lists pumpkin picking and a corn maze, with weekday field hours of 10am to 6pm and Saturday hours of 9am to 6pm, with last entry at 5pm. Sundays are closed. Online reservations are strongly recommended for Saturdays and Thanksgiving Monday; weekdays are drop in. Holiday hours differ. Confirm the final operating date and current conditions directly.

Allow time for travel between communities and verify that each stop is operating on your chosen date. Reesor's does not offer wagon rides.

Tips for visiting this fall

  • Check the market or farm's own website or social media the week of your visit, since hours and closures can change with weather or harvest conditions
  • Bring cash for smaller vendors, even though many now accept cards or e-transfer
  • Reserve ahead for pumpkin patches on weekends, especially close to Thanksgiving and Halloween
  • Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy if you're heading into a corn maze or pumpkin field
  • Arrive early on Saturdays for the best selection at farmers' markets, particularly for baked goods
  • Combine a market visit with a walk through a local park or trail to make the most of fall colours

Common questions

Do I need to book ahead for farmers' markets?

The listed farmers' markets generally welcome visitors without reservations during their operating season. Farm attractions have separate admission arrangements. Check the specific operator's booking policy.

What happens if it rains?

Most outdoor farmers' markets operate rain or shine, but pumpkin fields and corn mazes may close temporarily in heavy rain for safety. Check the farm's website or social media if the weather looks uncertain.

Are these events good for young kids?

Suitability depends on your child's needs and the venue. Check terrain, stroller access, washrooms, supervision rules and the activities actually offered. Do not assume a pumpkin patch includes wagon rides or a play area.
