A comprehensive Southern New Hampshire farm with corn maze, pick-your-own pumpkins, train rides, hayrides, petting zoo, and haunted barn—but 2026 season dates, general admission pricing, and event schedules are not yet published online.
Pumpkin Festival and Children's Trick or Treat events listed at $29 each. Overall admission pricing varies by date and event.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $116.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Charmingfare Farm is positioned as a comprehensive fall destination, not a single-attraction venue. The activity list is genuinely extensive: corn maze, pick-your-own pumpkins, train rides (branded as ‘Pumpkin Express’), hayrides, petting zoo, and haunted barn. A committed group could spend 3–4 hours working through all activities, making this an all-day outing rather than a quick stop.
The farm’s focus on events—Pumpkin Festival and Children’s Trick or Treat—suggests it leans toward festive, family-oriented celebrations rather than spooky haunted-house experiences. The petting zoo and train rides reinforce that family positioning.
The farm uses event-specific pricing:
This suggests the farm charges a premium for special event dates and probably a lower rate for general fall visitation. Until you call, you won’t know how much regular admission costs or how many event dates occur during the season.

This is why a phone call is essential before committing to a trip.
The Pumpkin Festival and Trick or Treat experiences are clearly significant draws, but their 2026 dates are not yet published. If a specific event matters to your trip—say, you want the Trick or Treat experience for young kids—call early to secure a date and confirm pricing.
During event weekends, expect heavier crowds than regular fall Saturdays. If you prefer a quieter experience, aim for a non-event weekday or early-season weekend before the busiest events launch.
