An award-winning full-service farm with five activity categories running a confirmed 36-day season, plus a barn restaurant and country store — plan for a half or full day, not an afternoon.
Cedar Hill Farm is an award-winning, comprehensive fall operation — not a simple u-pick stop. The activity spread alone signals a full-day destination: pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayrides, haunted attractions and farm games across a 36-day confirmed season. Add a barn restaurant and country store, and this is a place built for visitors to spend time and money on-site rather than arriving, picking one pumpkin and leaving.
That also means the uncertainty is whether you have the time for what the farm offers. If a fall outing needs to fit into a few hours on a Saturday afternoon, Cedar Hill is probably oversized for the slot.
The farm’s own website confirms dates: September 26 through November 1, 2026. The activity list is complete. The barn restaurant and country store are both real on-site amenities. What is absent is any published information about hours, admission price, or which activities (if any) carry separate charges.
Northern Mississippi, where Hernando sits just south of Memphis, is slightly cooler than the state’s Gulf Coast and tends to see more genuine fall color and weather. Mid-October is typically the sweet spot for both pumpkin ripeness and comfortable outdoor time, but the November 1 end date suggests the farm runs late enough to catch late-season visitors or last-minute planning.
No data on crowd patterns or staffing levels. A 36-day run across autumn weekends will concentrate demand on Saturdays and Sundays and school holidays, particularly in October. Northern Mississippi schools typically run on a standard calendar, so check your fall break timing if you are planning a weekday trip. Off-peak timing is one of the reasons to call ahead: asking about hours also gives you a chance to ask what to expect on your preferred day.
A farm with pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayrides, haunted attractions and farm games is not a quick visit. Budget at least four hours, and six if the party includes children who will want to linger on the games. The barn restaurant is on-site, which removes the need to leave for lunch — a practical win for all-day comfort.
The farm’s website shows images and describe these amenities as part of their fall experience, but does not itemize pricing or which activities sit outside general admission. When you call (662) 429-2540 to ask about hours, take the same call to ask about the cost structure: are all activities bundled into one ticket, or do certain activities (hayrides, haunted house, pumpkin picking) cost extra?
The farm operates from the tail end of September into November, which gives flexibility for late-season plans but also means the bulk of their season sits in October’s prime. If you are planning ahead, early- to mid-October is the highest-demand window; late October and November offer a narrower selection of remaining pumpkins and potentially lighter crowds, but you lose the full range of activity options if staffing adjusts for the shoulder season.
September 26 through November 1, 2026. The season confirms those exact dates on the farm's own site. Early to mid-October is typically peak for both weather and pumpkin ripeness in Northern Mississippi, though the farm runs through November 1, which gives late-season flexibility. Weekday visits are likely to draw smaller crowds than weekends, but hours were not published at the time we reviewed the farm.
Four to six hours minimum. With pumpkin patch, corn maze, hayrides, haunted attractions and farm games all on the list, plus a barn restaurant and country store, a casual visitor is looking at a substantial day. A rushed afternoon visit will not do the operation justice.
Not quantified in available sources, but a 36-day run across eight weeks will concentrate demand on weekends and school holidays, particularly mid-September through mid-October. Northern Mississippi weather in October stays relatively mild, so the shoulder dates (late October and November) may see lighter crowds.
Not documented. Most Northern Mississippi farms use field parking; assume unpaved surfaces and potential mud after rain.
