Every fall when the leaves start turning and the air gets crisp, the harvest season has a way of pulling you to the farm. Experience a taste of country living with the whole family at Beggs Family Farm in Sikeston.

There’s so much to do the day will fly by. Plan on at least four hours to explore all the activities the Beggs family offers.

  • Shop for pumpkins, squash and gourds.
  • Meet the animals at the petting zoo.
  • Ride a Bouncing Buckaroo.
  • Take a turn on the Cotton Pick’n Slide, created from a farm combine.
  • Explore the corn maze.
  • Hop on the Barnyard Express.
  • Watch the pig races.
  • Mine for gems.
  • Test your skills at Barnyard Ball.
  • Burn off some energy on Tire Mountain.
  • Make giant-size bubbles at the Bubble Bucket.
  • Play a round of Miner Max Putt Putt golf.
  • Enjoy live music.

Check the farm’s website for specific hours of operation.

Extend your farm adventure 10 minutes down the road at Beggs Berry World in Benton. Stock up on fresh produce, pecans, preserves and baked goods. Top off the day with a scoop of Beggs’ homemade ice cream.

A day filled with fresh air, homegrown fruits and vegetables, homemade treats, and tons of family fun – sounds like the perfect harvest celebration.
