SIMONTON, Texas (Covering Katy News) — Blessington Farms, set in the picturesque rural landscape of Simonton has become a beloved destination for families looking for seasonal activities that foster a connection with nature. Open from late September to November and from March through early June, the farm offers an array of activities tailored to each season.
Lynne Johnson, who co-founded the farm with her husband, Dave, shared their mission of creating a space where families could make lasting memories.
“We wanted to offer a place where people could step away from their busy lives and enjoy simple, joyful moments,” Lynne said. “Having grown up on a farm, I know just how meaningful these experiences can be.”
In the fall, guests are drawn to the popular Fall Festival Pumpkin Patch, where they can pick their own pumpkins and enjoy traditional autumn activities such as hay-rides and visits with friendly farm animals. The season also features attractions like the hay palace, tire mountain, and a fossil dig, all offering hands-on fun for children and adults alike.
