At $6 a head this is the lowest-risk paid farm visit on our Space Coast list — but the farm publishes no fall season dates, changes its hours and prices every season, and does not list a pumpkin patch among its attractions at all.
$6/person entry; $10 Basic Pass adds wagon rides; $20 Value Pass adds wagon rides, gem mining bag and animal feed. Farm store entry is free. Farm notes admission price changes each season.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $24.00 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.
The honest summary of Harris Establishment Farms is that it is cheap, small, genuinely agricultural, and harder to plan than most farms on this site. Six dollars gets you through the gate. That is low enough that the usual calculation — will we get our money’s worth — barely applies. A family of four is $24 for entry, which is less than a single adult ticket at the big inland festivals, and if a toddler melts down after half an hour you have lost very little.
U-pick flowers are the headline: sunflowers and wildflowers, which is a real draw and something the majority of Florida patches do not attempt. Around that sit wagon rides, a crop maze, farm animals you can view and feed, gem mining, a playground, a mini zipline, hamster wheels, a fish pond, yard games and concessions. The farm store is free to walk into.
Note the phrasing on the maze. The farm calls it a crop maze, not a corn maze, which is a more honest description than most Florida farms manage — corn is a poor fit for the Florida fall, and farms here routinely cut mazes into sunflowers or other cover crops instead.
More significant is what is not on that list. No pumpkin patch appears anywhere in the farm’s own published attractions. That may simply be an omission in a seasonal listing, but we are not going to invent one. If you are driving out specifically to buy a pumpkin, phone first.
The farm’s FAQ says directly that hours and admission prices change from season to season, and it points visitors to its homepage and Facebook for current details. No fall 2026 dates were published anywhere we looked in August 2026. The Friday-to-Sunday, 10am-to-2pm schedule shown here is what was listed at that time, not a confirmed fall calendar.
Combined with a four-hour daily window, that means this is a farm to check on the morning you intend to go rather than one to plan a fortnight out. The low entry price makes that tolerable — the risk you are carrying is a wasted drive, not wasted money.
Entry is $6, the Basic Pass at $10 adds wagon rides, and the Value Pass at $20 adds wagon rides plus a gem mining bag and animal feed. Gem mining is the add-on children ask for hardest at every farm in the state, so if you know it is coming, the $20 pass is the cheaper route to it than buying piecemeal. If you do not know, start at $6 and let the visit tell you.
The farm listed Friday to Sunday, 10am to 2pm, in August 2026, while stating outright that its hours change every season. That is a four-hour window, so a late start wastes the visit — aim for the 10am opening, which is also the only comfortable part of a Brevard County day in September or October. Fall 2026 season dates were not published on any source we could find, so check the farm's homepage or Facebook before setting out.
Around two hours, which fits the operating window. U-pick flowers, the crop maze, the animals, gem mining and the play equipment are enough to fill a morning without stretching it.
No crowd information available. A small farm with a four-hour daily window concentrates whoever does come into the same short period, so the 10am opening is the better bet on any of its three days.
Not documented. A small working farm on Vars St will be parking on grass or dirt, and Brevard County gets the same afternoon storms as the rest of Florida through October — dress footwear for mud rather than for a car park.
Not published. Wagon rides mean a step up, and a crop maze and u-pick field mean uneven ground. Call (321) 609-0488 if step-free access matters.
Pumpkins are the point of your trip. The farm's own published activity list — u-pick flowers, wagon rides, a crop maze, animals, gem mining, playground, mini zipline, hamster wheels, fish pond, yard games — does not mention a pumpkin patch. Call before assuming there is one. Also skip if you need certainty: this farm changes dates, hours and pricing every season and says so plainly.
This is a Brevard County stop rather than part of a farm circuit — the larger Central Florida festivals are a substantial drive inland. Pair it with the rest of a Palm Bay or Melbourne morning rather than with another patch.
We could not confirm one. The farm's published attraction list centres on u-pick flowers, a crop maze, gem mining and farm animals, and does not mention pumpkins. If a pumpkin is the reason for your visit, call (321) 609-0488 first rather than driving out on the assumption.
No fall 2026 season dates were published on the farm's site or on any directory we checked in August 2026.

1950 Vars St NW, Palm Bay, FL 32907, in Brevard County. It is one of 5 patches we track in Space Coast.
We track 5 patches in Space Coast, 1 of which are free to walk into. At $6 a head this one sits below the regional median of $12, undercutting 1 of the 2 paid patches we track here.
What sets it apart locally: it has u-pick fields, farm animals, rides and play structures, which most Space Coast patches on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 2 of the 5 patches we track in Space Coast had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
