Our take

Madi Bell Farms is a full-service family farm positioned for a half-day or full outing. The activity list spans multiple age groups: petting zoo and playground for toddlers and early elementary, hayrides and hay maze for slightly older kids and families, pumpkin patch as the harvest anchor. The on-site amenities — restrooms and picnic areas — are practical advantages that eliminate the need to leave the property for basic comfort.

What is missing: the 2026 schedule

The farm does not publish its 2026 opening or closing dates anywhere online. This is a blank that must be filled by contact before planning a trip. The email in the research notes is park2011@bellsouth.net, though a direct phone call is faster if you can locate the number.

Activities and ages

A farm offering petting zoo, playground, hayrides, hay maze and pumpkin patch is making a play for families with younger children. Toddlers and kids in grades K–3 will find more to do than older elementary or teenage visitors. If your group is multigenerational — grandparents, parents and young kids — the activity spread works. If you have only school-age children and teenagers, ask the farm about difficulty levels on the hay maze and whether the activities will hold their interest.

Practical amenities

The presence of restrooms and picnic areas is not glamorous, but it is functionally important. It means you can plan a full morning or afternoon without scouting for bathrooms at a gas station or driving to town for lunch. If you bring a cooler with snacks or a picnic meal, the on-site picnic areas make that practical. If the farm has concessions, ask about those when you call to confirm the schedule.

Northern Mississippi context

Chickasaw County is in the upper part of Northern Mississippi, not far from the Alabama border. The area is agricultural and rural, with a working-farm character. Unlike the intensely flat Delta to the west, this part of the state has slightly more elevation and often sees a bit more genuine fall color. Late September through mid-October is the prime window for weather and pumpkin ripeness, but the farm’s actual season remains unknown until you contact them.

Before you drive

Confirm:

  • Opening and closing dates for fall 2026
  • Hours of operation
  • Admission price and whether petting zoo, playground and activities are bundled or separate
  • Whether the farm is open weekdays, weekends only, or both
  • Food and concessions available on-site

A quick call before leaving home saves a wasted trip.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The farm does not publish 2026 opening and closing dates. Call to confirm the season before planning your trip. Historically, Northern Mississippi farms open in late September and run through October or November, but this year's dates must be verified with the farm directly.

How long to budget

Three to four hours. The activity list includes pumpkin patch, hayrides, hay maze, petting zoo, and playground — enough for a family to occupy a morning or afternoon without rushing.

Crowds

Not published. A family-oriented farm with playgrounds will likely see heavier weekend traffic, particularly mid-October when weather and pumpkin selection are both at their peak.

Parking

Not documented. Most Northern Mississippi farms use field parking; assume unpaved surfaces and potential mud after rain.

Strollers and accessibility

Not published. Call the farm at park2011@bellsouth.net or seek the farm's phone number to discuss accessibility before visiting.

What to bring

  • Hand sanitizer or wipes for the petting zoo
  • Closed shoes for the hay maze and playground
  • A light jacket or sweater, especially for early morning or late-October visits
  • A picnic lunch if you want to use the picnic areas — on-site food was not mentioned in available information

How to spend less here

  • The farm has on-site restrooms and picnic areas, which means you can bring a picnic rather than paying for food at the venue
  • Petting zoo and playground access likely depend on admission structure; call to ask if these are bundled or separate

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families with young children, especially toddlers and early elementary ages who benefit from the petting zoo and playground
  • Visitors who want amenities on-site — restrooms and picnic areas mean you can spend a full morning without leaving
  • Multigenerational outings where different age groups want different activities
  • Chickasaw County and surrounding northern Mississippi residents

Skip it if

You cannot contact the farm in advance to confirm dates and pricing. The farm has no published 2026 schedule online, and without knowing when it is open or what it costs, planning a visit requires a phone call first. Skip it if you do not have time to make that call before driving.
