Some Southwest Florida weekends call for a beach chair. Others call for a walk through flower fields and a friendly debate about which direction to turn in a corn maze.

This week on Hey, Denny!, Denny Bowers visits Farmer Mike’s U-Pick in Bonita Springs, a local destination that brings another side of Southwest Florida into view.

With rows of flowers, seasonal picking, and farm events, it’s a place to keep in mind when you’re ready to try something different.

A Hands-On Way to Explore Bonita Springs

There’s something satisfying about slowing down and seeing where your food grows.

Farmer Mike’s offers opportunities to pick seasonal produce and flowers, with availability depending on what’s ready in the fields. The farm also has a farm stand, giving visitors another way to bring fresh finds home.

Before setting out with a particular crop in mind, check the farm’s latest updates. Once you arrive, ask the staff what’s available to pick that day.

For a casual outing, that flexibility can be part of the fun. Let what’s growing shape your visit.

Fall Fun at Farmer Mike’s.

October brings an extra reason to explore.

Farmer Mike’s 2026 Fall Fest runs on scheduled weekends from September 26 through October 31, with a family-friendly corn maze, pumpkins, food, and seasonal activities.

For visitors who prefer their fall outing with a scare, haunted corn maze experiences are offered on selected nights. Check the official ticket calendar carefully, since daytime activities and haunted attractions follow different schedules.

Whether you’re organizing a group outing or looking for an idea for visiting friends, the farm gives you a reason to spend some time outdoors.
