A two-day-a-week crop maze and flower field opening October 2, worth an unhurried couple of hours — but the farm had not published 2026 pricing or a closing date when we last checked, so confirm both before you drive.

Amazing Grace Family Farms opens for 2026 on Friday, October 2, and runs Fridays and Saturdays. Two days a week, in a state where the fall season is already squeezed into roughly four weekends, is the main planning fact about this place. It is not a farm you can drift toward and visit whenever — you get eight or nine chances, and they are all shared with everyone else within half an hour of Green Cove Springs.
Two things were missing from the farm’s own pages as of late August 2026: the closing date and the 2026 ticket price. Tickets sell through TicketSpice rather than at a rate printed on the website, so the price is whatever appears when the store opens. If cost is going to decide whether you go, that page is the first stop, not the last.
The 2025 season ran Fridays 4-9pm and Saturdays 10am-9pm. Treat that as the shape of the thing rather than a promise.
The farm says outright that the festival depends on the crop and the weather. That is more candid than most operators manage, and it is also the reason to re-check the week you plan to go rather than trusting an August date. A maze cut into a living crop is at the mercy of a wet September in a way a ticketed attraction is not.
A crop maze, a pumpkin patch, a flower field, photo setups and festival food. The flower field is the differentiator — it is genuinely uncommon at Florida patches, and it is what will make the photos look like something other than a parking-lot pumpkin display. What you are not getting is an activity park. Nothing the farm advertises suggests hayrides, a petting zoo or a ride list, so calibrate to a relaxed couple of hours rather than a day out.
On the pumpkins themselves: Florida cannot grow a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so the pumpkins here — as at essentially every patch in the state — arrived on a truck and were arranged in a field. That does not make the afternoon worse. It just means that if the mental image you are selling a child involves vines and a New England hillside, adjust it before you get there rather than in the parking field.
Early October in North Florida is not autumn. Afternoon temperatures still climb into the nineties, storms build over the interior most afternoons, and shade at a crop maze is whatever the crop provides. Every good version of this trip involves either the first hour the gates are open or the last two before dark. The bad version is the middle of a Saturday afternoon.
If the 2025 pattern holds, Friday evening is the better half of the week: North Florida in early October still runs hot through the afternoon, and the last hours before the 9pm close are the coolest time the farm is open. Saturdays open at 10am, which is the next best answer. The worst plan is a 1pm Saturday arrival, which puts you in full sun at the same hour the afternoon storms tend to build.
Two hours is realistic for a maze, the flower field, photos and something to eat. There is no ride list or petting zoo in what the farm advertises, so a family budgeting a full day will run out of farm before they run out of afternoon.
Two days a week over a short season concentrates demand hard. The Saturday you were planning on is the same Saturday everyone else in Clay County was planning on, and the mid-October Saturdays are the peak of that.
The farm has not published parking details. Most North Florida farm lots are unpaved fields, so assume grass and dirt and plan for mud if it has rained that week.
You need a fixed budget before you leave the house, or you need certainty. Neither the 2026 ticket price nor the closing date was published as of late August 2026, and the farm says openly that the festival depends on the crop and the weather.
Congaree and Penn on the north side of Jacksonville is the natural alternative rather than a same-day double — it is a dog-friendly, live-music, evening-drinks farm rather than a maze, so the two suit different moods and different halves of a family.
The farm had not published a 2026 price as of late August 2026. Tickets are sold through its TicketSpice page, so the current rate appears there when the store opens for the season.
No closing date has been published. The opening date is Friday, October 2, and the farm runs Fridays and Saturdays, but the end of the run has not been announced.
Almost certainly not, and that is true statewide rather than a criticism of this farm. Florida's climate does not support a commercial fall pumpkin crop, so patch pumpkins are trucked in and arranged.
Opens October 2, 2026 (closing date not published). Fridays & Saturdays (2025 season ran Fri 4-9pm, Sat 10am-9pm).
