A farm-market operation with extensive activities (two mazes, hayrides, slide, tractor bikes, games) and u-pick pumpkins, ideal for full-morning visits—though operating hours and 2026 dates need confirmation.
Trunnell’s Farm Market operates a diversified fall experience: two mazes (hay and corn), hayrides, a slide, tractor bikes, games, u-pick pumpkins, and farm-market shopping. That breadth means a family can spend three to four hours without repeating activities or exhausting the attraction menu.
The variety appeals across ages: toddlers gravitate toward the slide, tractor bikes, and hayrides; school-age kids tackle the mazes and explore the farm market. Teenagers might occupy themselves with competitive games or exploring the market’s merchandise.
U-pick pumpkins mean you select and (typically) harvest your own from the field, giving you control over size, shape, and condition. U-pick operations often charge less per pumpkin than pre-cut inventory, rewarding customer labor with lower cost.
The farm-market designation suggests year-round retail operation (likely produce, local goods, seasonal items) with fall attractions layered on top. That adds a shopping element: after activities, you can browse the market for fall décor, farm products, or gifts. It’s a different visit rhythm than a pumpkin-only patch.
A farm offering both hay maze and corn maze accommodates different comfort levels. Hay mazes are typically lower, less disorienting, and less claustrophobic-feeling than corn mazes. A family with young kids and confident teenagers can split up and still meet back together reasonably.
Hayrides are low-intensity, passive activity—good for resting between active attractions. Slides and tractor bikes appeal to the 4-10 age range especially, though older kids and nostalgic adults enjoy them too.
Utica is in Warren County, near Owensboro in Western Kentucky. This region is flatter than the Bluegrass, with milder October weather and less dramatic fall color. That’s an advantage if you prefer comfort conditions; a disadvantage if you’re seeking striking autumnal landscape.
Weekend traffic at Western Kentucky farms is typically lighter than at central-Kentucky mega-patches, though Owensboro’s regional hub status means this farm may draw more traffic than truly remote operations.
Operating days and hours: not published. September 1–October 31 is the typical window, but specific days (weekends only? daily? Thursday-Sunday?) and hours are completely absent from available sources.
Pricing: unspecified. No admission fee, pumpkin price, or per-activity cost is listed.
2026 confirmation: the directory source lists 2026 dates, but the farm has not directly confirmed that the fall operation is running.
What “games” includes: vague. Games could be free lawn-game options or paid arcade/structured activities. Clarification matters for both budget and kid appeal.
