An hour out of Houston is not one distance. It is Alvin in half that with the roads clear and Sealy in the whole of it with the roads the way they usually are. All ten of these farms are in Texas — no state line to disclose on this one — but they sit on very different ground: the flat coastal side south and west at Alvin, Simonton and Brookshire, and the piney side north at Tomball, Magnolia, Spring, Montgomery, Conroe and Cleveland.
Fall is the heavy season here. Five of the ten open a pumpkin patch and three cut Christmas trees, so the same gate you drove through in October is a different farm by December. Spring is thinner but real — strawberries at Alvin, blueberries up between Kingwood and The Woodlands — and the meat, milk and vegetable farms run straight through the year.
Call first, and check the year while you’re at it. These farms run on the crop and the calendar both: a March freeze took Moorhead’s blueberries clean out in 2026, and more than one of these websites still had last season posted when we read it. Where a farm publishes hours we list them. Where it doesn’t, we say so instead of guessing.

Four farms in this ring run pick-your-own, and they hardly overlap. Froberg’s Farm at Alvin picks strawberries from about January into late May and is the closest one to the city. Moorhead’s Blueberry Farm sits between Kingwood and The Woodlands and has been picking blueberries since 1977 — but a hard freeze on March 17 cut the 2026 crop short and the farm closed for the season on June 19. The other two pick in the fall: Blessington Farms at Simonton and P-6 Farms at Montgomery, both pumpkins and cut-your-own flowers.
Five of them. Dewberry Farm at Brookshire is the big one on the west side near Katy, with an eight-acre corn maze and better than thirty rides. P-6 Farms at Montgomery and Blessington Farms at Simonton both run you-pick patches with cut-your-own sunflowers. Froberg’s Farm at Alvin puts its patch inside a fall festival posted for September 19 through November 8. And Old Time Christmas Tree Farm at Spring opens a patch each fall before it turns into a tree farm for December.
Three farms sell trees, and all three will let you cut one. Old Time Christmas Tree Farm at Spring grows its own and keeps pre-cut northern firs standing in water beside them; walking in during the season is free. Spring Creek Growers between Tomball and Magnolia has thirty acres of choose-and-cut on land the family has held since 1921, with Farmall hayrides and a bakery — but its site still read “Closed for 2025 Season” when we checked it, so call before you load everybody up. Froberg’s Farm at Alvin goes to choose-and-cut trees as soon as the fall festival is over.
Two places, both on the west and northwest side. Frydek Heritage Farm at Sealy raises chicken, beef, heritage pork, lamb and rabbit on pasture and sells chicken and duck eggs, craft sausage, raw milk and raw cheese through an online farm store, with barn-side, local and farmers market pickup. Blessings Ranch at Tomball keeps a store on the place, open Thursday through Saturday, with its own grass-fed beef, pastured chicken, eggs and raw honey — the milk and cheese there are not theirs, and the ranch says so plainly, naming Stryk Jersey Farm as the source.
If you grow it, raise it, milk it or cut it within about an hour of Houston and you’re not on this page, that’s our mistake and we’d like to fix it. Free listing, your links, your words, gone the day you ask.
