A free-admission u-pick farm focused on seasonal vegetables and fruits, with free access to farm animals and a special Maine Apple Weekend event, but pumpkin picking dates and details are not yet confirmed for 2026.
U-pick pricing varies by item: canning tomatoes $32.50/25# on weekdays
Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.
Spiller Farm is a free-admission u-pick operation with a specific appeal: you are not paying an entrance fee to access the farm or see the animals, and the u-pick pricing is transparent and reasonable. That value proposition matters for budget-conscious families and for anyone who wants to try a farm visit without a large commitment.
The u-pick season spans June 15 through October 15, 2026, with weekday hours 1pm to 5pm and weekend hours 10am to 5pm. The weekday afternoon-only window is a constraint worth noting — if your schedule limits you to weekday mornings, this farm does not work until the weekend.
Weekday visits do not open until 1pm, which eliminates morning options if that is when your family typically has free time. Weekends start at 10am, which is much more usable for most visitors. Plan a weekend visit if you want the full morning.
The farm keeps cows, geese, goats, and chickens on-site, and entry is free. This is a low-risk way to introduce young children to farm environments, especially since leaving early is not financially penalizing.
U-pick items are priced by weight or crate. Canning tomatoes are $32.50 per 25-pound box on weekdays, for reference. The farm does not publish prices for all items, so call 207-985-2575 for current rates on the produce you want to harvest.
Maine Apple Weekend on September 12-13, 2026 is a statewide event celebrating local apples, and Spiller Farm participates. This is a specific draw if you want organized activities around apple picking or want to visit during a marked event.
The website confirms that pumpkin and winter squash picking are planned for fall 2026, but specific dates, whether field picking is available, or whether you can select from pre-harvested options are not published. Call ahead to confirm pumpkin details and what to expect.
Spiller Farm’s location near Wells, just north of the tourist corridor in Greater Portland, puts it within thirty to forty minutes of many summer-vacation and leaf-peeping destinations. Free admission and low u-pick prices make it a reasonable stop on a longer fall itinerary.
The u-pick season runs June 15 through October 15, 2026. Weekday hours are 1pm to 5pm and weekend hours are 10am to 5pm, so Saturday morning offers the longest operating window. Maine Apple Weekend is September 12 and 13, 2026, a specific draw if you want organized activities around apple picking. Late September through early October offers the best combination of pumpkin and apple availability before frost risk escalates.
Two to three hours. U-pick speed varies by how much you harvest and which items you choose. Farm animals are a quick add-on — thirty minutes if kids want to linger.
Free admission spreads visitors lightly across the season. Maine Apple Weekend (September 12-13) may see heavier foot traffic. Weekday afternoon visits are quieter than weekends.
Not published. Assume informal farm lot parking typical for Wells-area farms; closed shoes for any row walking.
