Ananda Farm Opens Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch in Terra Ceia
Ananda Farm in Terra Ceia has launched its seasonal grand opening, bringing a taste of Midwest autumn traditions to the Suncoast. The farm’s Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch officially kicked off this weekend and will continue each Friday through Sunday throughout the season.
Located just south of the Skyway Bridge in North Manatee County, the farm offers pumpkins, haystacks, corn mazes, sunflower fields, and a range of family-friendly attractions. Activities include a corn pit, jumping pillows, photo-ready displays, and opportunities for visitors to pick their own flowers.
Ananda Farm was founded by four longtime friends who shared a vision of recreating the festive spirit of fall farm life in Florida. The farm also serves as a tribute to co-founder Kristy Boss, who passed away in 2022. Despite significant crop losses during the 2024 hurricane season, the farm has rebounded this year with full fields and a wide variety of seasonal offerings.
The name Ananda, meaning “happiness” in Sanskrit, reflects the farm’s goal of creating a joyful experience for visitors. Tickets and additional information are available on the Ananda Farm website.
