In the farm's own words: "Farmers' market with plants, fresh produce, and a popular fall corn maze." Stoughton Farm is one of the farms we track with a corn maze, which typically means a corn maze is cut into a standing field in late summer and stays open until the stalks are harvested, which is why most mazes open a week or two after the pumpkin patch itself and close hard at the end of the season. si…

Based on its public listing, Stoughton Farm is typically open Monday 9AM-6PM, Tuesday 9AM-6PM, Wednesday 9AM-6PM, Thursday 9AM-6PM, Friday 9AM-6PM, Saturday 9AM-6PM, Sunday 9AM-5PM. Pumpkin patch hours shift often during the season — expect longer hours the two or three weekends around mid-October and shorter, sometimes weekend-only hours toward either end of the season — so treat this as a strong starting point rather than a guarantee. Admission pricing isn't listed for Stoughton Farm either — pumpkin patches generally charge one of three ways (free entry with pumpkins priced individually or by weight, a flat gate admission bundling attractions, or a per-attraction wristband system), so it's worth asking which applies here before you go. It accepts credit cards, debit cards, nfc mobile payments and snap/ebt, though it's still smart to carry some cash — field admission and wagon rides at farms like this are sometimes handled separately from the main store.

Like most working farms, the exact open and close dates for Stoughton Farm can shift year to year with weather and how the pumpkin crop comes in, even though the general window is fairly predictable. If you're planning a special trip, a weekday morning is consistently the quietest time to go, with shorter waits for wagon rides and easier parking than a weekend afternoon. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy — pumpkin fields are working farmland rather than paved lots, and they get soft fast after rain — and call ahead if it's rained heavily in the last day or two, since field access and hayrides are usually the first things a farm closes when the ground is saturated. Layers help too: fall mornings can start cold and warm up quickly once the sun is over an open field.
