13 Fall Farms to Visit This Fall Around Kansas City
It’s been fall for approximately five whole hours now, so there’s no better time to plan a trip to one of Kansas City’s best fall farms than right now!
It’s Fall Y’all: The 2026 fall season lasts through December 21st, although according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, peak fall foliage colors will end shortly after the first week of November in the KC area.
Find Your Pumpkin: Our list features 13 of KC’s favorite fall farms within a ~30-minute radius of downtown KCMO. We’ve also included an interactive Google map, so you can find the fall farm closest to you!

Opening
913 Mercantile is Now Open in Mission
913 Mercantile, a locally owned boutique collective, opened its doors last week in the Mission.
Hop On Over: 913 Mercantile officially opened on September 16th at 5330 Martway St., featuring goods from 70+ local small businesses. You can expect home décor, apparel, gifts, artwork, and more.
From the Ashes, We Shop: In an interview with KCTV5, owner Tyler Bonine stated that the idea of opening 913 Mercantile grew out of the abrupt closure of Painted Tree marketplace earlier this spring.
