Agritourism Website Checklist: 23 Things Visitors Look For
The 23 things families check before driving to a pumpkin patch, corn maze or u-pick farm: hours, pricing, weather policy, parking, pets and more.
A website that fills your parking lot every fall weekend
U-pick orchards, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, sunflower fields, farm weddings — your season is short and your website has one job: get families to show up on the right day with the right expectations.
Most agritourism farms choose Harvest — $2,995 + $79/mo
Sound familiar?
The problems a generic website doesn’t solve
- Hours change weekly in season and nobody can find them
- Phone rings all day with “are you open?” and “do you have pumpkins?”
- Group bookings and event tickets handled by text message
- Rained-out Saturdays with no way to tell everyone fast
What we build instead
- Season hours front and centre
One-tap status — Open today · Picking now: Honeycrisp — that you update from your phone in ten seconds.
- Ticketing & group bookings
Timed entry, corn-maze tickets, school groups, birthday parties, barn weddings — booked and paid online.
- Weather & crop alerts
Push a banner across the site and your Google listing when a field closes or a variety is picked out.
- Directions that work
Big “Get directions” buttons, parking instructions, and what-to-bring lists so visitors arrive ready.
Every page is a search landing page

Recommended plan
Harvest: $2,995 setup + $79/month
For farms that sell online: CSA signups, farm-stand orders, tickets and bookings.
Included
- Everything in Roadside, up to 12 pages
- Online ordering, CSA signup or ticketing (your choice of platform, we set it up)
- Bookings & events calendar
- Weekly update / blog with “what’s in the box” template
- Email list signup & newsletter integration

Why not the cheaper plan?
Roadside ($49/mo) is a brochure: hours, location, what you sell. It’s right for farms that don’t transact online.
If you need tickets or bookings, you need Harvest. The extra $30/month is less than one lost order.
