Evansville families have one last chance to enjoy the seasonal attractions at Mayse Farm Market before the autumn program ends. Located off North St. Joseph Avenue, the farm has been a hub of family‑friendly activity all fall, offering wagon rides, a pumpkin patch and a kiddie zip line that have drawn crowds of children and parents alike.
Extended Hours for School‑Free Wednesday
With the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation on break this Wednesday, Mayse Farm Market has extended its hours for kids, giving parents an extra opportunity for outdoor recreation while school is out. Staff say the additional day has been well‑received, adding to what has already been a busy and successful season.
Owner’s Reflections on a Successful Season
“We’ve had a really great weekend the past few weekends. We’ve been so thankful for our customers. It’s been beautiful to see everybody out here at Mayse Farm Market,” said Rachel Blocker, a representative of the farm. “It’s a little bit bittersweet, but you know we are always looking ahead to the future and can’t wait for the next season at Mayse Farm Market.”
Final Day and Upcoming Plans
The market’s fall activities will conclude on Sunday, with regular hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. After the final day, the farm will shift focus to its upcoming Thanksgiving offerings, planning to reopen its bakery and sausage stand in time for the holiday season.
What to Expect at the Farm
Visitors can still browse the on‑site market for fresh baked goods, candles and other seasonal items while the attractions remain open. The pumpkin patch provides a classic fall photo backdrop, and the wagon rides give a nostalgic touch that appeals to both young children and nostalgic adults.
