Farmer Mike's U-Pick Opens 12th Annual Fall Festival and Corn Maze in Bonita Springs

Farmer Mike's U-Pick is kicking off its 12th annual Fall Festival in Bonita Springs, according to reporting published September 21, 2026 by WINK News. The festival opens September 26 and runs weekends through October 31, 2026, according to the farm's own event page, which lists a five-acre corn maze, U-pick pumpkins, sunflowers and wildflowers, and on-site food.

I am Kris Asquith, Broker Associate at Premiere Plus Realty, and I sell across nine Southwest Florida markets including Bonita Springs. A long-running local farm event returning for another season is a concrete, verifiable happening, and it is worth recording accurately rather than guessing at what happens next.

The centerpiece is a five-acre corn maze built around a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" theme for 2026, with 16 game stations spread through the maze, according to the farm's own event page. Beyond the maze, visitors can pick their own pumpkins, sunflowers and wildflowers directly from the fields. Select Friday and Saturday nights add a haunted version of the maze, while Sunday nights run a flashlight-only walk through instead.

The N'Season Restaurant operates on site through the run of the festival, and food and craft vendors set up on the grounds every weekend, according to the same source. Children age two and under are admitted free.

The festival runs September 26 through October 31, 2026. According to the farm's posted hours, Saturdays run 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays run 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the full run of the event. Friday hours begin October 3 and run 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at the gate, and the farm asks visitors to call ahead with questions about a specific date.

Farmer Mike's U-Pick is at 26031 Morton Avenue in Bonita Springs. The farm has run this event annually for more than a decade, and this year's edition is its 12th, according to WINK News and the farm's own materials.

Nobody can honestly put a number on what a seasonal farm event does to nearby property values, and it is fair to be skeptical of anyone who claims otherwise. What is verifiable is narrower and still useful: Bonita Springs has a long-running agricultural business drawing weekend visitors to the same address for a 12th consecutive year, which is a real, if modest, signal about the kind of local activity that continues to operate in this part of the market.

If you are looking at property in or around Bonita Springs, luxury homes in Bonita Springs and Bonita Springs condos cover more of what is currently available, each with its own distance to local farms, shopping and daily conveniences worth checking on its own terms.

A seasonal festival is a useful data point about a neighborhood's ongoing local life, and it is not a substitute for the details that decide what a specific address costs to buy, insure and maintain: flood zone, association rules where one applies, and what an inspection turns up. The home buying process walks through where each of those gets checked, in order, before you are ever under contract.

If you are weighing property near this part of Bonita Springs or anywhere else across the nine Southwest Florida markets I cover, get in touch or call (239) 300-1427 for a straight read on a specific address rather than the neighborhood in general.
