A smaller, less commercial North Hills produce farm whose fall draw is a weekend hayride to the pumpkin patch and a corn maze — but the website is effectively a placeholder, so nothing about 2026 dates, hours or prices is confirmed.
No prices published in any source read. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
Some farms have thin listings because they are small. Shenot has a thin listing because its website is essentially a sign saying the farm exists — navigation, a tagline, and no seasonal content whatsoever. The fall page returns a 404. That is not unusual for a working produce operation whose actual audience is local and whose actual noticeboard is Facebook, but it does mean that anyone planning a trip from further out is working with very little.
What we can say with confidence is what the farm is. It is a produce farm and market in Marshall Township, north of Pittsburgh, and its autumn draw is a tractor hayride out to a pumpkin patch plus a corn maze. Third-party listings also describe an after-dark haunted hayride on Friday and Saturday evenings, which is a different event aimed at a different audience.
There is a widely copied directory entry for this farm that prints market hours, weekend hayride times and haunted hayride times. It looks authoritative. We have not used it, and neither should you, because the same directory page carries figures for neighbouring farms that can be checked against those farms’ own sites and are wrong — including a season opening on a date that is not the day of the week the listing claims.
This matters more than it sounds. A family that drives forty minutes on the strength of a directory’s hayride hours and arrives to find the wagon has stopped for the day has been failed by a page that was confidently specific rather than honestly vague. We would rather tell you the schedule is unknown.
Three questions, two minutes: which days the hayride runs and between what times, what it costs, and whether the haunted hayride is operating this season. The number is 724-935-2542. Farms of this size answer the phone, and they are usually pleased to be asked rather than being reviewed badly by someone who guessed.
We have no prices, so this is a framework rather than a figure. Farms that are markets first tend to charge little or nothing to walk in and put the cost in the pumpkin and the hayride ticket. Farms that are attractions first charge a gate. Everything about Shenot’s description — produce, a market, a modest attraction list, no rides, no play area — points at the first model. If that holds, a family of four is realistically looking at a low-cost visit built around what they buy rather than what they are charged to enter. Do not treat that as a quote.
Soergel Orchards is minutes away, and the two are the standard North Hills combination. The sensible split is to use Soergel for the market, bakery and cider and Shenot for the hayride and maze, and to make one phone call to each before you set out. That is a better Saturday than gambling on both.
Weekends, on the basis that the hayride is consistently described as a weekend activity. Beyond that we cannot be specific: the farm's website carries no seasonal content at all and its fall page returns a 404, so there are no farm-published 2026 dates, hours or prices to cite. A directory listing does print market hours and hayride times for this farm, but the same directory is demonstrably out of date for other farms on the same page, so we have deliberately not repeated those figures as though they were fact. Phone 724-935-2542 before you drive out.
An hour and a half to two hours. This is a working produce farm with a hayride and a maze rather than an all-day attraction site, so it fits comfortably into a morning alongside something else.
Smaller and less commercial than its neighbours, which usually means a calmer Saturday. The countervailing factor is that Marshall Township sits in a busy corner of northern Allegheny County, and when a nearby larger farm fills up, the overflow has to go somewhere. Early is still better.
Not published. Assume unpaved farm parking on a working produce site, and assume it holds water after October rain.
You need to know before you leave the house what the day will cost or when it runs. Nothing is published. Skip it too if you want rides, slides and a play area — this is a produce farm with a hayride and a maze, not an attraction park — or if you are bringing very young children to a haunted hayride, which is not what that event is for.
Soergel Orchards is a few minutes away on the other side of Wexford, and the two are routinely done as a pair. Soergel is the bigger market-and-bakery experience; Shenot is the smaller working farm. If you only have time for one and you want the hayride and maze specifically, Shenot is the one to call about first.
No prices were published in any source we read. The farm's website has no seasonal content and no pricing page. Phone 724-935-2542 and ask.
Not published. The farm's site carries no dates and its fall page returns a 404. A third-party directory prints hours for this farm, but that directory is stale for other farms on the same page, so we have not repeated its figures here.
It is described in third-party listings as an after-dark Friday and Saturday event, which is a different thing from the daytime family hayride out to the patch. Treat it as aimed at older children and adults, and confirm both the schedule and the intensity with the farm before booking.
Yes, a corn maze appears consistently in listings for this farm, alongside the hayride to the pumpkin patch. Its size and price are not published.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. No prices published in any source read. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
3754 Wexford Run Road, Wexford, PA 15090, in Allegheny County. It is one of 7 patches we track in Pittsburgh Region.
We track 7 patches in Pittsburgh Region, 1 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
What sets it apart locally: it has an after-dark attraction, which most Pittsburgh Region 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 7 patches we track in Pittsburgh Region had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
